Plain filthy SP suggested pitch types

I started a plain filthy SP and currently am using 4 seam, sweep curve, slider, splitter and screwball. Im thinking about dropping the slider for one of the knuckleball pitches, and possibly dropping the 4 seam for a cutter. ive heard that not having a 4/2 seam fb can be really hard. Would the cutter have enough speed to make up for not having a plain fastball?

You can get by with just a Cutter if it's your best pitch, but it can be tricky. Cutter and 2 seamer is a nice combo, imo, since it gives you movement to both sides of the plate and gives you more tools vs both righties and lefties.

My personal favorite setup is Cutter, Changeup, Slider, and 2SFB.

Sinker or Running fb would be a nice compliment to replace the 4 seamer. 2 pitches breaking glove side, 2 breaking to the throwing hand and the splitter breaking down. Runner would equal or better the velocity of the 4 seamer.

I personally don�t like having a sinker as my only �fastball� type pitch - it�s hard to evaluate a sinker without it being crushed so it�s harder to change the eye level of the batter. Just from my experience anyways

Created a plain filthy SP last year. Sinker, slider, fork. My "tryout" as closer early on freshman year got made permanent the following season. Whether it was the pitch, the archetype, or both, the sinker did its job for me... Maybe too well. Its also why I also suggested the Running FB.

Sinker ball pitchers can definitely work I don�t disagree. I personally just love a hard 4 seam fastball - especially if you have the velocity to get it up to 95-97 mph

What are the best pitches to throw in MLB The Show 21?

Never throw two pitches consecutively in the same spot. Target the corners, but be unpredictable as to which corner will be targeted next. A great tactic is to throw low and in, low and away, then up and in for the strikeout. But if one of these pitches is a ball, don't get locked into a formula.

What are the best pitches to use in MLB The Show?

Best Pitches and Pitching Motion Sinker and Cutter are highly recommended, as both are very strong pitches in MLB The Show 22 and can excel in Diamond Dynasty. Follow that with a curve or changeup of some kind, but for us the preference tends to be the Slurve and Circle Change.

What is a filthy pitch?

A filthy pitch is basically a get out of jail free card for the guy on the mound. It can also strike fear in every batter around the league because the fact that this guy has a dominate pitch that cannot be touched is always in the back of his mind.
