I had a game with GaMinG_FrEaKzz and his a starting pitcher didn't have any 4-seam fastball in his arsenal. It's pretty rare to see a pitcher without a 4-seam fastball. So, all of his pitches had movement including his main pitch which was a 2-seam fastball. I usually have problems with these types of pitchers but this guy was pretty wild. In 4 innings I was able to draw 3 walks and his pitcher eventually got tired out. Then, I was finally able to put some runs on the board.
At least in my game, GaMinG_FrEaKzz would swing at everything he saw. I can see why because it seemed like every batter I faced in his lineup was trained to tear the cover off of the ball. The wind was also blowing out at Yankee Stadium so I don't blame him for swinging freely to start the game.
I was able to hold a 1-0 lead until the 5th inning and then things began to fall apart. By the 6th inning he was up 8-1. I was able to get the score to back 8-6 but I eventually ran out of time and lost this one.
Diamond Dynasty Tip of the Day
When facing a pitcher who does not have a natural fastball it shouldn't take very long to pick up his pitches. Just wait for some movement on each pitch and then swing away. Also, most pitches are likely to drop down in the zone so you can usually start looking low in the strike zone and swing influence up.
