With the new baseball season underway, we've identified the need for some player balance adjustments. This patch will focus on refining pitchers and catchers. Let's delve into which players will see changes.

Patch Highlights

Nerf	Buff
Shotaro | Wade | Jessica | Matthew | Murray	Marie | Murdock | Meiling | Mario | Jaeho | Barry | Erik

Marie's Skill Balance Adjustment

Marie, known for her fast pitches, has been challenging to use due to a penalty that enlarges her control area. Given her low usage rate among the top tiers, we've decided to slightly decrease this penalty based on user feedback. We hope this change will make Marie more popular and beloved by all of you.

Shotaro's Skill Balance Adjustment

Shotaro currently shows the highest usage rate in the top leagues. To balance this, we've decided to exclude fouls from his skill activation conditions. 

This adjustment aims to broaden the opportunity for various pitchers to be used.

Wade's Stat Balance Adjustment

Wade, statistically alongside Shotaro as a TOP2, had higher stats compared to the rest of the pitchers due to his skil. 

We've decided to lower Wade’s stats to match other pitchers.

Murdock's Stat Balance Adjustment

Murdock is one of the least-preferred legendary pitchers. To encourage his more frequent mound appearances, we're slightly reducing his movement and enhancing his spin to maximize his skill effects.

Jessica's Skill Balance Adjustment

Currently, catchers that enhance pitchers are overwhelmingly popular. The balance team has decided to adjust these catchers' skills to ease scoring and shorten game lengths. As a result, Jessica's skill effect will be slightly reduced.

Meiling's Skill Balance Adjustment

Although Meiling's skill was previously enhanced, she still shows the lowest usage statistically. It seems you find Strikeout much tougher than the balance team anticipated. Therefore, we've decided to enhance her skill effect after strikeouts.

Matthew's Skill Balance Adjustment

Similar to Jessica, Matthew's skill balance will be adjusted. The velocity increase from Matthew's skill will be slightly reduced. We hope this adjustment will provide hitters with more opportunities for hits.

Mario's Stat Balance Adjustment

Mario is a catcher who can effectively defend against bunts, but unfortunately, he hardly gets on the field. We've decided to adjust his stat balance to enable more frequent appearances as a starting player.

Murray's Skill Balance Adjustment

Murray, a catcher known for his strong batting ability, shows overwhelming usage rates in lower leagues. To level the playing field, the balance team has decided to slightly reduce Murray's skill effect, giving other catchers more opportunities to play.

Jaeho's Skill Balance Adjustment

Opting for specialized batting abilities over pitcher skills, Jaeho hasn't demonstrated significant advantages compared to Shotaro. Therefore, we've further differentiated Jaeho's batting abilities, aiming to establish him as a pitcher with superior batting skills.

Barry's Stat Balance Adjustment

Regrettably, Barry records the lowest usage rate among catchers. To provide Barry with more starting opportunities, we've decided to adjust his stat balance, slightly improving his batting abilities.

Erik's Skill Balance Adjustment

Erik is an excellent pitcher who grows stronger with each foul ball but shows very low usage rates statistically. We've decided to slightly enhance Erik's skill balance to ensure he can stand more frequently on the mound.

This concludes the balance patch.

For the next patch, we're preparing work to differentiate the defensive abilities of infielders, focusing on handling the hard hits and the quickness of fielding actions.
