PITCH TYPE TRANSLATIONS
 |
This is Hawks #18 Arakaki's pitch repertoire page. Note the blue pitch rated "FG" on the middle left. The abbreviated text just above it and to the left is telling you its a cutter. During a game after you throw a cutter the full text will be displayed as seen here...
It's important to memorize both the abbreviated and full text because all of the attribute pages show abbreviated while in-game displays full text. In the chart below abbreviated text is shown on left, full text in the middle and pitch name on right. |
