Knuckleball... Better than other pitches?

[skjohnson2]

I've got a fictional pitcher who has only a curveball rated 15 and a knuckleball rated 18. Other ratings are above average, around 13 or 14 level.

Funny thing is he is doing GREAT at major league level as a starter. Does the game actually model the knuckleball differently? (It probably should...) My other two pitch pitchers get shelled as starters more often than not.

thx

Hitting the knuckleball is not an easy thing to do. As the great hitting coach Charlie Lau once said: "There are two theories on hitting a knuckleball. Unfortunately, neither of them works."

Hmm, where I have I seen that before, several thousand times?

Is it in hints.txt now? I always empty it and save it a blank file first thing (no repetitive hints that way to irritate me) so I didn't see it.

I hated knuckleball pitchers even more than the guys with the blazing fastballs because the knuckler just does whatever it feels like.
