Alright, so I’ve been messing around with MLB The Show 24, and let me tell you, I’ve gotten hooked on these submarine pitchers. It all started when I was watching some old baseball clips. I stumbled upon this guy, Kent Tekulve, throwing from down under, and I thought, “That’s wild, I gotta try that in the game.”
So, I jumped into the game and started experimenting. I went through the rosters, looking for anyone who had that funky delivery. It’s not like your usual overhand throw, you know? These guys practically scrape their knuckles on the ground.
Finding the Right Guys
- First, I found a few modern players who use this style. I won’t name names, but there are a couple of relievers who are pretty well-known for it.
- Then, I dug into the legends. There are some classic guys, like Carl Mays and Chad Bradford, who were famous for this back in the day.
I started using them in games, mostly in relief. It was a bit tricky at first. The timing and release points are way different. But once I got the hang of it, man, it was fun. Batters just aren’t used to that low angle. They swing and miss, or they hit weak grounders. It’s like a cheat code, almost.
Experimenting and Getting Results
I tried different strategies. Sometimes I’d bring them in for a quick inning, just to mess with the hitters. Other times, I’d leave them in longer, but that’s risky. If you overuse them, batters start to figure it out.
One time, I was in a close game, bottom of the ninth, two outs. I brought in my submarine guy, and he struck out the last batter with a crazy low slider. I jumped out of my chair, I was so pumped! That was really so cool!
These submarine pitchers, they’re not just a gimmick. They can be really effective if you use them right. It’s all about timing and knowing when to mix things up. So if you’re playing MLB The Show 24, give these guys a try. It’s a whole different way to play the game, and it’s a blast!
