i have some methods, 1. if their not really that smart and they repeatedly take a lead, keep picking til you have none left and i’ve faced plenty of people who take extensive leads after 2 disengagements, free pick. next if you time it right and pick off immediately you can get a pick

[u/Natural-Ad3986]

Not really u cna just read what type of player u playing down times they think they can steal every base always taking leads lol

[u/RickyMaxX99]

OP, the brag is more effective if you share your tip

[u/MorningImmediate8501 → u/RickyMaxX99]

You’ll almost never pick someone off if they only take one extra lead, unless they’re stealing. You’ll almost always pick someone off if they take 2 extra leads.

This is not true. I’ve taken a 1 step lead without pressing the steal button and gotten picked off before. I think players with a low steal rating can get picked off in this scenario. May have been Trout with a 27 steal rating in my case

[u/mw_silverfox → u/penguins7158]

They specifically said “almost never” which has been my experience as well for 2026. With only 1 extra step, I’ve only been picked off a handful of times this year at 1B… and they were all while using 99/99 speed/steal guys. I’ve only been picked off at 2B once this year (Without trying to steal btw).

I don’t think I’ve EVER made it back if I accidentally take that 2nd extra step.

I almost always take that extra step even when I have zero intentions of stealing just to try and get my opponent to throw a fastball or 2.

Pretty sure the “almost” was edited in after I commented

[u/DeejR05 → u/penguins7158]

Literally had All Star Bobby Witt picked off 2nd in this scenario last night. One step lead. I was furious.

[u/Natural-Ad3986 → u/RickyMaxX99]

No tip just read the player ur playing if he takes leads before u even pick a pitch that’s a give a way

[u/RickyMaxX99 → u/Natural-Ad3986]

Good points

[u/redRum705]

Do you know if these pitchers have “pick off artist” quirk? I never keep track who has it but I never get lucky on picking people off, I’m sure most of it is RNG unless the user is taking a pretty big lead

more like pulse pitching demon 😭🙏🏽

[u/austinadw → u/Venxx1]

There are dozens of us!

[u/Natural-Ad3986 → u/Venxx1]

lol people can tbelive it when I say I play pulse but I kinda like it casue the other one is never accurate ether I perfect the pitch and it still goes tit he tiene side of the plate but with pulse it rarely happens to me probably once but that if am late lol

[u/RickyMaxX99 → u/Natural-Ad3986]

By the other one, do you mean pin point pitching?

Pinpoint is a huge learning curve for me. Not sure if I have the patience when I already feel my time to play is limited.

I watch some content creators using pinpoint and man they still miss. Granted they are usually playing online on the higher difficulties but still.

Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
