    I need some MLB comparisons here guys

    Right now i'm doing a project. I took High School Baseball player and asked them 2 ?s For hitters its what pitch you like to hit and what pitch your least favorite pitch to hit. For Pitchers is what is your signature pitch and what is your weakest pitch. I got most of them but I need to find 3 players

    Pitcher
    Signature(strongest):Sinker
    Weakest:Slider

    Hitters
    Strongest:Change-Up
    Weakest:Curve

    Strongest:Curve
    Weakest:Change-Up

    Most hitters don't really have a huge weakness against a particular pitch but against how the pitch looks coming from either a righty or a lefty.

    What is wrong with these two hitters?

    How do you stay back on one pitch, but can't stay back on the other? Makes no friggin sense.

    He woulda been ****ed in Washington...
    Update: Turns out he was ****ed in Kansas City too

    Seems strange to me that high school players best pitches to hit are pitches they dont see often that are designed to fool them. Back when I played we all looked fastball, but not many highschoolers could throw good offspeed pitches for strikes.
    That being said, when the curve and change are thrown it is usually when the batter is behind in the count. I have found that guys who will shorten up their swing are most successful in these situations. I have no supporting data on success against certain pitches, but it seems guys like Paul Molitor and Derek Jeter have always been good at protecting themselves in these situations.

    Fastball/Changeup.

    The only two pitches you need. If you perfect them both, you will be completely unhittable.

    I believe it's all personal on strengths and weakness I was a pitcher and outfielder in high school and since I was a lefty I loved my slider but as a hitter I hated the slider but from ur comparison the pitcher reminds me of Joel pineiro
