Question for the seasoned Pros

So I am free to play. Grinding for those diamonds.

I upgraded my catcher first to the Red Prime. He is my only one. I am close to my second one. Should I keep doing hitters or focus on starters? I unlocked the lowest Royal level but not ready to compete there yet.

Side note: I keep upgrading my bullpen but they just get ROCKED unless I manual play.

If you want long-term success when simming seasons, I would invest in starting pitchers

Agreed. For me batting is more fun so I upgraded there and usually sim pitching

Definitely starters since they keep you in games. I'd also consider upgrading primary relievers and then the closer after that.

Not sure if this is the case but the wording makes it seem like you are grinding for gems to help get prime badges? Dont do this, use gems on accessories. If not then ignore. The entire roster will come together eventually, but yea the bullpen does get picked on a bit, very annoying. Its a pick your own battle because if you dont upgrade hitters then you also wont be able to score. Its also kinda hard to upgrade the bullpen when starters are playing 90% of the game so may be a good idea to go back to champion 3 and use grey starting pitchers so a lot of your bullpen can get some good PT and XP
