Pitches

Pitches are what pitchers throw at the catcher. The batter then tries to hit the ball. This is a list of pitches in Baseball Superstars.

Fastball
Every pitcher throws a fastball. The slowest fastball a pitcher can throw is 82 miles per hour. The fastest a fastball can go is 102 miles per hour.

Two-seam Fastball
The two-seam fastball is slightly slower than the fastball. It is very similar to the shuuto. It twists right at the beginning of the pitch but turns back left at the end.

H. Fast
The H. Fast is a fastball when thrown, seems to pick up rapid speed. When thrown, near the end of the pitch, the ball seems to get faster. The ball also seems to "jump" while being thrown

R. Fast
The R. Fast is similar to the H. Fast. It seemingly picks up even MORE speed than the H. Fast. At the end of the pitch, it seems to just stop moving all of a sudden.

Cutter
The cutter is a fastball that looks like a slider. It "cuts" and turns quickly to the right (or left depending on pitcher's throwing hand).

Gyro
The gyro is the final upgrade of the fastball. It is thrown high into the air. However, it decends very quick and twists to the right/left of the hitter making it a very unprdictable pitch.

Changeup
The changeup is a pitch in which the ball "jumps" into the air. Typically the changeup is very slow making it easier for the batter to pick up.

Circle Changup
The Circle changup is abbreviated to "S. Change" ingame. It is very similar to the sinker; it is thrown high away from the hitter, then "sinks" back to the desired location.

Fork
The Fork pitch, (abbreviated as "Fork" in-game) is a pitch in Baseball Superstars. It is thrown slower than the splitter. It is the most basic Pitch 4 Throw, alongside changeup.

Split-finger Fastball
The split-finger fastball is abbreviated to "S.F" in game. It seems almost like a fast changeup; it jumps slightly then comes down to the desired location.

Knuckleball
The knuckleball is a very slow pitch. Typically it is thrown in the high 60s or low 70s. It wobbles while being thrown making it difficult for the hitter to pick up. Unlike other pitches, the faster the pitcher's stats, the slower the knuckleball is thrown.

Training Path: Changeup » S.Change » Knuckleball OR Fork » S.F » Knuckleball.

Slider
The slider is a pitch when thrown, "slides" away from the batter. Usaully, it is thrown at 76-80 miles per hour.

H. Slider
The Hard Slider (abbreviated H. Slider) is just like the slider; only thrown harder and slides away quicker.

Curve Ball
The Curve Ball, (abbreviated as Curve in-game) is a pitch that relies on User's "Curve" Stats. It is the most basic Pitch 3 Throw alongside Slider. The ball curves slowly to the target, messing up a batter's timing. Although basic, this pitch is still reliable as long as it isn't overused.

Super Curve Ball
Super Curve ball, (abbreviated as S.Curve in game) is an upgraded version of the Curve ball, that features more curvey movement and less speed, and is harder to hit than normal curve balls.

Power Slider
The Power Slider (abbreviated as P.Slider in-game) is a variant of the Slider pitch. A slider pitch but with more curve and Speed. It is the locked pitch in Pitch 3. Unlocked by having very high stat (All stats >620)(?) And/ or by rigorous training for 9 seasons. When you're ready, The senior will say that you've made it far. He will then show you The Power Slider pitch, then the Power Slider pitch gets unlocked.
