Pitch arsenal guide
Why a four-pitch arsenal beats a one-pitch trick.
Pitcher mode turns four unique pitches into an Arsenal Score, so depth is part of the strategy instead of an afterthought.

The Arsenal Score
WAR Maxxing ranks the four selected pitch grades from strongest to weakest, then weights them 35%, 30%, 20%, and 15%. This means the best two pitches carry the most value while the whole mix still matters.
Choose unique pitch types
A fastball, slider, changeup, curveball, cutter, sinker, or splitter can each fill a different role. The game blocks duplicate pitch types to make the finished mix varied.
Game mechanic, not a scouting report
The Arsenal Score is made for this game. It does not claim that any one real-world pitch mix will project exactly the same way in MLB.
Pair quality with traits
After filling the mix, use K/9, BB/9, HR/9, Stamina, and Contact Management to turn pitch quality into a simulated season.
