Hello, to anyone who's reading this, this is the eleventh episode of a series on hitting a home run with every single character in Backyard Baseball, including characters with stat buffs/nerfs. This is inspired by Dyno Mike's full video on hitting a home run with every Backyard Baseball character. However, there were some characters where he had to use power ups, so I figured I'd make this series on hitting a home run with all of the Backyard Baseball characters.
Gretchen is definitely a doozy to hit one out with. With a 41/100 swing power stat, her bat isn't that weak, but her 22/100 swing contact stat doesn't do her any favors. Another thing to note with Gretchen is that her strike zone is very weird in that it's a lot higher that what the game makes it out to be. More specifically, you shouldn't go for anything that's in the bottom third of the zona that you can see in game as it will almost certainly be a weak grounder. Although her bat is still pretty bad, or weak, you'll find a lot more success, at least on average, if you go for pitches that are in the top 60% of the zone that the game tells you with Gretchen.
