How do I make Tim Wakefield a knuckleballer?

In OOTP9 I could check a box and -- voila! The player was instantly a master of the knuckleball. The game seems to want a numeric value in OOTPx but I don't know what value to try. Any suggestions here?

Go into edit mode and give Wakefield a, say, 210 knuckler. Or is that too high? Or too low?

This chirping is deafening...

Is it even worth it to try to create a knuckler? In OOTP9, Wilhem, the Niekros and Hough all took early retirement after I changed them into knuckleball pitchers. Just wondering.

I told you how to do it.

Right, I get that part. It's just that my previous experiments (in OOTP9) didn't turn out so well and I was wondering how others fared with the settings for knuckleball pitchers. Did your pitchers perform above or below expectations? Did they have long or short careers?

I play out my teams games so I am only about 100 games into my first season. I have a knuckleballer as a young starter and he has had a good season thus far with a few growing pains.

That looks pretty much like what you would expect a young knuckleballer's statline to look.

Agreed. I have no complaints. I posted it so that people could edit a pitcher into a knuckleballer.
