Current pitchers in MLB/minors that throw the knuckleball?

[neohemp]

Well, the ones I have so far are
(of course) Wakefield
Ryan Jensen (who doesn't have the pitch in MLB 2k6

R.A. Dickey (doesn't have it in MLB 2k6 either)

and

MLB 2k6 has (apparently) a randomly generated player that's 32 years on Seattle called Aaron Williams (not Dave Aaron Williams from the Reds)


If anyone knows any other knuckleballers currently active could you post them here? I'm trying to get one for my staff on MLB 2k6 but they're all either too old or don't have it in the game

I did add Eephrus to all my pitchers though, which is hilarious. I feel that basically since I'm the "GM" I should be able to tell them to lob the ball slowly if I want to

HAHAH

It's a fun pitch :P

I am not sure if this helps:

Yeah that's where I found Dickey and Jensen.. I'm about ready to just delete them off the rosters that MLB 2k6 creators put together and re-make them with the knuckler

Here is a link that might be of interest to you, along with a few minor league practicioners of the flutterball.

Joe Gannon
John Barnes
Jared Fernandez
Charlie Zink
Joe Rogers
Eddie Bonine
Steve Sparks

Edit: Ah, I see Skipaway tracked down the site already.

I just found out there's a search engine in MLB 2k6 to find all knucklers in the league.. only 4 and 3 of them are fake... filler for people that are not in the players association probably

I'll just have to sign a young knuckleball thrower in the ammy draft
hehe

You can't edit the pitches a guy throws?

Wow, games take 1 step forward, 2 steps back each year don't they?

Does Woody Williams throw one or am I making that up?

I think he throws a cutter, change, and curve.

[neohemp]

Yeah Woody doesn't throw one, I did notice on that site that was posted though Isringhausen wasn't listed under the Knuckle-Curve section but he throws one.


You can edit the pitches the guys have but only if you're not in a GM Career, and I've already started my career and don't want to start over (even though I just lost to the cubbbies 11-9

He throws one.... I saw him throw one against the Braves this year. I don't think he throws it that often. Hell John Smoltz tried out the knuckler in a few games one year.

I think it was he who has reverted back to throwing in.

Some pitcher, I think Woody, decided to go back to his old style and throw the knuckle.

Only ones I know of are Steve Sparks and Jared Fernandez.
