Best Pitching Tips in Super Mega Baseball 4
There’s a lot to think about before making the perfect pitch. Here are the bests pitching tips for Super Mega Baseball 4:
- Don’t always aim for the Strike Zone – While your goal is to aim for the Strike Zone, sometimes going for a Ball is a great idea as a way to bait the Batter into swinging and missing.
- Listen to your Catcher – Occasionally, your Catcher will signal where they want to receive the ball.
- Remain unpredictable – Make sure to try different pitches so that you’ll remain unpredictable. Mix it up by adding curve balls, aiming for the strike or ball zone, and aiming high and low.
- Pitch based on your Pitcher’s stats – Some Pitchers focus on Velocity, while others have a higher Junk stat which favors curve balls. Make sure to check your Pitcher’s stats and play around them. However, do not become too predictable and change it up occasionally.
- Adapt to the situation – If you need a ground ball, pitch lower; if you need a pop-up take the risk and aim for a higher pitch.
With these tips, you’ll be able to consistently strike out batters and give a chance to your batters to get a run.
