Change the pitching type to "Classic". Then during a game, go to the "Game Options" menu and change all of the opposing team's "Take Strike" settings all the way up and "Take Ball" down. This will make it much easier to get a strikeout. Note: This will not stop the batter from swinging. He will still swing occasionally. Additionally, throw a fastball nice and low (either side). After that, throw a change-up right down the middle (do not move the pointer, just pitch). Finally, choose a curve/slider/sinker at the bottom right or the top left corners.
