PitchTunnels v1.3 — Smarter Recommendations and New Pro Tools

Until now, PitchTunnels ranked tunnels the same way for everybody. Two pitches either tunnel well together or they don't — and that's true as far as it goes, but it ignores the thing that actually decides whether a tunnel works in a game: who is throwing it. A 99-velocity four-seam plays differently than a 78 one, and the tunnel chart never knew the difference.

v1.3 fixes that. Recommendations are now ranked for your exact pitcher, and there's a new set of Pro tools for the parts of a game that happen between pitches — who to bring in, when to bear down, and what to throw next.

Tunnels Ranked for Your Pitcher Pro

The recommendation engine now weighs three things it previously ignored: your card's actual attributes, the handedness of the batter you're facing, and where each pitch type sits in the current meta. The result is a ranking specific to the card in your hand rather than a generic pitch-pair score.

• Smart Recommendations — tunnels ranked using card attributes, batter handedness, and pitch meta tier
• Bear Down Advisor — when to spend a charge, and which pitch to throw when you do
• Tunnel Breakdown — the movement plot and the numbers behind every tunnel, so you can see why it ranked where it did

Scout Any Card

Card detail got a real scouting layer. Two of these are free.

• Pitch Power Ranking Pro — your whole arsenal scored and ranked best to worst
• Scouting tags — role, stuff, and matchup badges at a glance
• Handedness edge — how a pitcher actually fares against lefties versus righties

New Pro Tools

These are for managing a staff, not just a single at-bat.

• Active Roster Pro — set your real Rotation and Bullpen so the app knows who you actually have available
• Situation Finder Pro — answers "who do I bring in?" for any spot in the game, ranked against your roster
• Pitch Sequencer Pro — walk a live at-bat pitch by pitch, with the count, instead of planning three pitches up front

Tuning and Fixes

The underlying ratings got audited rather than just extended.

• Pitch meta tiers re-rated to the current MLB The Show 26 meta
• Tunnel scores audited against community consensus
• Cleaner card detail and accurate handedness split ratings
