Most Important Pitch in Baseball

Diamond Dynasty Tip of the Day
Throw a changeup every once in a while to ensure your your pitch speeds are different.

I faced an extremely good hitter (sodamnrill05) at Polo Grounds last night.  He was able to get a hold of any ball thrown in the strike zone and he was using the power swing throughout the whole game.  I'm perplexed why he currently only has a .254 batting average. 

Maybe I'm not training my pitchers well enough.  I probably should pay more attention to velocity on individual pitches.  There was one weakness sodamnrill05 had that I was able to expose and that was to throw changeups in the dirt.  I think the changeup in MLB the Show is the single most important pitch to have in your arsenal in MLB the Show.  For changups, I always increase the pitch velocity to the max to help ensure the pitch is as slow as possible.

I was luckily able to beat sodamnrill05 (9-8) in the bottom of the 9th after my runner scored from 3rd base when his catcher made a throwing error over the first baseman's head.
