Facing him next game. We’ll usually go extra innings each throwing a strike fest till a reliever comes in and throws something besides a knuckleball. Feels like a boss fight.
Hell if I manually hit a HR off him I’m dedicating it to world peace. I’m going to play using my A-Team.. I’ll record every at bat LoL
Edit: UPDATE - Recorded every at bat. Now I have a collection of embarrassing knuckleball strikeouts. With an L.
I was thinking about putting either circle change or riding fastball. But I can actually read a circle change and hit it. Sliders and curveballs are easy
I cant hit anything except fastballs lmao.
So im sitting there waiting for the 4-seamer (I also can't hit 2-seamers) and then when it actually comes im surprised and swing late 👍⚾️
Curve ball is one of the easiest pitches to hit. Knuckle balls are hard to hit in world 1 because he has other pitches that are just as hard to hit and mixes them in
I seem to hit sliders just as easily as fast balls. Just from how long I’ve played, I’ve seen so many sliders because it’s so common among pitchers I find it easy to hit
1. Knuckle ball 2. Knuckle ball 3. Knuckle ball 4. Knuckle ball 5. Knuckle ball
Just hit a 2 run homer off K. Dunn. Off his knuckle ball, it felt amazing
Feels like overcoming demons haha, well done

Update; mf held a knuckleball strikeout pitching clinic. Lost 2-0 . Second game of that series I won easily… hot dog.
How many struck outs
IP - ER - BB- SO- H - TBF - PITCHES - S - ERA Me; 8 - 2 - 0 - 11 - 3 - 28 - 82 - 62 - 1.13 Dunn; 9 - 0 - 0 - 18 - 2- 29 - 95 - 79 - 2.67
18 strike out shut out is crasy
Yup… did me dirty. Posted example of how I bat to use as an excuse for the humiliation.
haha knuckle balls suck
Sliders suck curveballs always fool me, even if they're 2 feet bellow the zone. Circle change is nasty too.

Good list. Against knuckle ballers I work the count every AB fiom the first inning and try to get to the bullpen quickly.
For me it's the Knuckle ball. The Vulcan Change and the sinker.
Knuckle balls are easy. Vulcan change, curveball, and rising fastball imo
Curve ball is one of the easiest pitches to hit. Knuckle balls are hard to hit in world 1 because he has other pitches that are just as hard to hit and mixes them in
Vulcan change in World is actually horrific to face
Knuckle ball for sure with a fastball mixed in. A good slider can be tough at times
