Yes, my first Gyroballer. Yes, he is based off of Felix Hernandez, with a few appearance differences, a one day difference in birthday, and obviously, different pitches.
He is also a rookie, unlike King Felix, one of my favorite pitchers.
I can honestly say this is the best player I've ever made in Success Mode.

Description:
His only downsides are his low 90s fastball (I lost both games against Gil, otherwise he'd be much better) and his bad luck.
His control is about a D, but that helps because it makes his gyroball more unpredictable. He has decent Stamina, and a great assortment of breaking pitches, including a knuckler that can throw off a person's timing for the rest of the game when paired with the gyroball.

Thus, here are his stats, and you can find him on my Photobucket account, on the front page.
http://s383.photobucket.com/albums/oo27 ... jackson81/

Stats:
Top Speed: 91 mph
CTRL: E 118
STAM: D 76
Role: Closer
V-SLD 4
KN 4
ORIG (Rising Slider) 2


Abilities:

Pitching 1:
W/ RISP 4
VS. LH Batter 4
Poise 4
Groundball P
Dr. K
Good Reflexes

Unlucky

Pitching 2:
Gyroball

Other 1:
Aggressive FLD
Aggressive RUN
Good Pace

Good Morale

Other Notable Stats:
Run Speed 7

Please comment and use him.
I have also sorted all my other guys into their separate albums on the left side, for easier viewing and less clutter.
You also may be thinking "Well, this isn't nearly the best gyroballer I've seen."
Most of it is because I only S/Led for these reasons:
Injury
Failure
SoP and Surprise Bag, which netted me Groundball P (2nd try) and Dr. K (dozenth try).
I have yet to even see a Gambler's Ring.

Anyways, thanks for reading this, and enjoy!

Second Date with Patty at the mountain, i didn't catch any fish, got unlucky.
Of course, sometimes if you catch a fish you get (the ability) Lucky.
I had Hot Head, but I cured it at the end, couldn't find a cure for Unlucky.
How's the actual player though?
Do I have to say that (line above this) every time?

Or barehand catch.
Player's ok but has low stamina and control.

1. he's a closer, D is actually more stamina than basically any closer.
2. The control being down can be a good thing, though it's almost a D, it makes the gyroball more unpredictable.

but more chance of mistake pitches which can be bad for a closer protecting a 1 run lead.

out of all my pitches in that mode, only 1 mistake pitch when he wasn't tired, it was a ball.
And many times they'll miss anyways, especially when they're used to the gyroballs.

you can get it from the first tom event or by getting the best outcome of watching a movie. It boosts your teams motivation i believe
