I actually have more success hitting when I let the ball come to me. Not being afraid to let the ball get deep and react to the pitch. And if I’m having trouble picking up sequences, or don’t really know what I’m looking for…. I sit middle fastball and react to any pitch near the middle early in counts. Best advice anyone ever gave me in mlb the show, is see the ball and hit it. Seems obvious, but the more reps you get over the years, you will get better and better it’s inevitable.

If the ball comes out the pitchers hand and it’s moves up then it’s a breaking ball but if the ball goes start at you then it’s a fastball or sinker n what not. At that point you just gotta take what that person likes to do and what that pitcher can throw.
@BrutusJrThe3rd4 ай бұрын
Another tip that helped me a lot is not swinging until the batter plants his front foot. My timing goes from pitchers release to the batter’s plant. That’s all the time you really have but once you get that rhythm down, now all you have to do is be selective.

Ive noticed that after a while of doing whats mentioned in this video, i started being able to predict the general area that the ball was gonna land on based solely on when the hand releases the ball, ex: early release from the hand means high or middle and complete follow trough usually end up in a lower to almost on the ground pitch etc.

I’ve been playing Diamond dynasty since the show 15 and never been a threat. There will be a span of 2 days at most when I’m hitting well. But most of the time it’s just a dice roll. My record is 35-17 which doesn’t look too bad at first, but my batting avg is only .244 and most of those wins were when I first got the game and was playing other bad players in the lower divisions. There isn’t a specific pitch that I do well against. I have the same chance of hitting a HR on the corner of the zone than I do in the middle 😂

I like following the pitchers glove to the hand going behind the back, then continuing to follow the motion of the arm. This usually helps to follow the ball and square it up if it’s across the plate, as well as recognizing early if it’s off the plate. If I get a 2-0, or 2-1 count I aim the pci at the pitchers head and look for something up in the zone. I hardly ever strike out and win 100 games per season at a hall of fame level.

@layeeeeeTV Жыл бұрын
I’ve seen this type of comment a lot, imma post an updated short on it. But to prevent slamming there’s 2 things you can do. Pci Anchor to the area opposite to where you slam, so let’s say you slam middle down, you anchor middle up. It’s a short term solution but can help. 2nd thing is to stretch your hands out. It sounds weird but people slam their pci because their hand is too tense so they flick a lot instead of moving to the ball. In the end, we want to think of the pci as a reticle not a sling shot. The smoother the pci is, the more consistent hitter you’ll be. Hope this helped you out.
