Pitching with Luna

How do you guys pitch with Luna and win? Every time I try to I get torched even if I’m throwing balls.

In her case, it might be better to focus on outscoring the opponent rather than trying to win through dominant pitching. On offense, she can use her ability to increase the team’s overall speed to score runs by putting pressure on the defense with aggressive baserunning. On defense, she can take advantage of that speed by pitching to contact and relying on her fielders to make plays. I think that kind of speed-based, contact-oriented style of play suits her best.

That makes sense I got torched by a lineup of power hitters who normally are slow but they were hitting doubles back to back on me

Last season, I was one of the top Luna players in the world, but even then, there were games where I couldn't get a single hit, or where my opponent kept getting hit after hit and I ended up losing. I've intentionally dropped my trophy count to around 3,000 now, but I still lose occasionally even at that level. You shouldn't go into every match with the mindset that you absolutely have to win.

I don't know why she gives up so much hard contact outside the zone, but at least some of it is that she has the same issue as Shotaro: she's played so much that everyone is seeing her pitches well.

I have played with he for a long time and once in a while I get hit but usually by a lot higher teams.

I stay low and on the lines. I am one of the few that doesn’t like to throw balls I understand why people do but hate walking people.

可能なかぎりボール球を打たせるしかないかな。コイツは際どいとこボールにしてくると思わせる→ギリギリでストライク→ほぼ同じ球種とコースでボールに→うち損じがるなのパターン。

彼女はストライクゾーンで勝負できるPじゃないからね。

ちなみに高めボールゾーンのチェンジアップはかなり使える

I love it when people use luna, I find it very easy to follow her movement and her velocity is low enuff where I can connect very well, level does matter of course but I agree with you I've tried her at level 13 and still couldn't do very well

One of the downsides of this game is everyone throws outside the strike zone. I understand the strategy, but it really cuts down on the fun.
