Normally, I have decent control while pitching. But when someone gets on base, the pitcher seems to lose all control and starts chucking the baseball at the backstop.

Someone please tell me if I have this right:

1) Press & hold button for the intensity level of pitch. And the circle gets bigger the longer you hold the button.

2) You have to tap the button again before the circle closes on the cursor/target? Is that how you're supposed to keep control?
