How to induce BIP?

When pitching, what strategies do you all use to get the opp to swing and make contact, and out the ball in play?

It seems some pitchers have a higher whiff rate, or a higher called strike rate.

A few pitchers seem to induce more swings/contact with a changeup.

Wondering what strats others have worked out.

That's a great question. I would love to know if there are any tricks of the trade or strats. 😊 From what I can remember, most of the time I just pressed A. No curve or speed, just threw it. 🤷‍♂️

Did you figure anything out DMMx? You jumped up on the board! Congrats!

Not really... I tried a number of pitchers and tracked the pitches (ball put in play, or not). I tried throwing just a simple fastball ("A") and also tried a change up. It seemed some of the faster pitchers worked better by throwing changeups. But i still never really found a pitcher i could use consistently enough to get close to the record. Some did seem significantly better than others, though.

I also watched LackAttack's #1 run and counted his pitches not in play. I forget now what the total was over 5 innings but I was no where close. He maybe was around 9.

Another thought I had was it may be faster to hit 2 batters and then turn a triple play each inning. Either a real triple play or by baiting the runners and getting them out.

Maybe I'll go try again.....
