I discovered something new about pitching in MLB 14 The Show. I seem to have better success when I get the first pitch over for a strike. If I make sure that I mix up my pitches I can essentially throw anything right over the plate without incurring very much damage at all. Also, a high percentage of first pitch swings have ended up as outs lately. I've pitched a lot of quick innings of late.
I've also recently switched from meter pitching to classic pitching because I had a hunch that some movie streaming in the household might be causing control issues when I'm pitching. So far, Classic pitching has helped immensely. As long as your pitcher is well trained you can be very effective with Classic pitching.
