Alright, let’s talk about them submarine pitchers in that there MLB The Show 24 game. You know, the fellas who throw the ball all weird, like they’re comin’ up from under the ground or somethin’. I ain’t no expert, mind you, but I seen a game or two, and them fellas always got folks scratchin’ their heads.
What are these submarine fellas anyway? Well, it ain’t about swimmin’ underwater, I can tell ya that much! It’s how they throw the ball. Most pitchers, they throw overhand, you know, arm up high. But these submarine guys, they drop down low, sometimes almost scrapin’ their knuckles on the ground. It’s a real puzzle for them batters, seein’ the ball come at ’em from a different angle. Makes it hard to hit, real hard.
- Makes hittin’ tough: Like I said, that weird angle makes the ball do funny things. It dips and dives, and a batter just ain’t used to seein’ that.
- They got different pitches: These guys ain’t just throwin’ fastballs, no sir. They got sinkers, sliders, changeups – all kinda stuff, but it’s all comin’ at you from that low angle.
Now, in that there MLB The Show 24 game, you can make yourself a submarine pitcher, or you can try and hit against one. It ain’t easy, let me tell ya.
How do you even use these fellas in the game? Well, same as any other pitcher, I reckon. You pick your pitch, aim it, and then try to throw it where you want it. But, see, the key is that delivery. It’s all about gettin’ that low arm angle and makin’ the ball do its thing. If you can do that, you’ll be foolin’ them batters left and right. They won’t know what hit ’em!
Some famous submarine fellas from the past, you know, the real-life ones, there was this fella, Kent Tekulve, and another one, Chad Bradford. They say these guys were somethin’ else, real tricky. They weren’t throwin’ the fastest balls, but they sure knew how to get fellas out.
Now, when you’re buildin’ your pitcher in that Road to the Show thing, you gotta think about what kind of pitches you want him to have. Like, do you want a sinker that drops like a rock? Or maybe a slider that cuts away from the batter? It all depends on how you want to play. But remember, if you’re goin’ with that submarine style, it’s all about that low angle. Gotta keep that arm down, you hear?
Is there a list of all them submarine fellas in the game? I ain’t sure, to be honest. But I reckon the game probably tells you somewhere. You gotta poke around, look in the menus and stuff. These youngsters with their fancy computers and whatnot, they probably know where to find it.
And that’s about all I know about these submarine pitchers. They’re tricky, they’re different, and they can be real effective if you know how to use ‘em. So, go on, give ‘em a try in that there MLB The Show 24 game. Just remember to keep that arm low, and maybe you’ll fool a batter or two.
So when you are playin’ this here baseball game, remember this, pitchin’ is mighty important, you know? Them fellas on the mound, they’re the ones who keep the other team from scorin’. And a good pitcher, well, he’s worth his weight in gold, I tell ya. So, whether you’re usin’ a submarine fella or a regular overhand thrower, make sure you got some good ones on your team. You ain’t gonna win many games without ‘em.
And another thing about pitchin’ in the game. It ain’t just about throwin’ the ball as hard as you can. You gotta be smart, too. You gotta mix up your pitches, keep the batters guessin’. And you gotta know when to throw a fastball, when to throw a curveball, and when to throw that tricky submarine pitch. It’s like a chess match, see? You gotta outsmart the other fella.
Now, the game has different ways to pitch, you know, different buttons to press and stuff. I ain’t gonna get into all that, cause it just confuses me. But the young folks, they seem to figure it out alright. They’re always tappin’ and swipin’ on them screens, makin’ the players do all sorts of things.
So, that’s my two cents on them submarine pitchers. They’re a different breed, that’s for sure. But they can be a lot of fun to use, and they can be real tough to hit against. So, go on, give ’em a shot. And who knows, maybe you’ll become a submarine master yourself.
