It’s called... really lucky, I guess? I don’t know how that leaves the infield.
“He would’ve had to go with the old school tommy hawk to hit that one” or whatever
I'm okay with balls above the zone being hit out of the park, but this is just physically impossible.

Sometimes you just close your eyes, pray, and hope someone is listening.
For him, EVERYONE was listening.

All Star is such a piece of sh!t difficulty. My Lord.

It's actually not eye level,though by the rule book it should be. top of the strike zone is just above the belly button,which is accurate to real life, from the rule book it should be the bottom of arm pits but hasn't been that in over 20years.
Going by just above belly button - I estimate that pitch to be bottom of the collar bone.

What? Top of the strike zone is shoulder height. This is above eye level.

The most power can be generated from pulling a high pitch, so I can believe it.
Please. That ball was at eye level, probably even higher. Have you ever swung a bat in real life? No way you're generating power THAT high my guy

And the pitcher gets a hit! This is about the shoulder level, so yeah it happens!

Yeah I said eye level, not shoulder level. Did you even see the screenshot or are you just trying to troll me? I seriously can not believe you're defending this as being okay or normal.

Took a nice little break from the game, I needed it. Started a BR game just now, on a 4-0 run that I started last week. Score is 2-2 and then my opponent hits a 2 run homer ON THIS
Are you FFFFFFing kidding me? I knew exactly what my opponent was looking for. I read him like a book. I knew he was gonna chase, so I spot the pitch extra high. Because you know... in this game you can never be to sure, those can still be crushed. But I've NEVER seen anything like this before and it actually turns my stomach.
Edit: my pitcher was O'Day with full stamina.
In all seriousness, it was an 88 MPH fastball. Who did the guy hit it with and was it down the line in a small park? Evan Gattis did it on a 95 heater a couple of years ago against Trevor Bauer.

That’s one of the reasons this game blows.

Hey, you know what else happens in RL? Lake Erie midge invasions. Fans catching balls still in play. Corked bats and pitchers using foreign substances on the ball. Streaking fans.
This game needs more realism!

Yeah, I saw the image! Sorry, but there is no way that is eye level. It looks about 1/3 of the strike zone high. If the average strike zone is about 24", that is 8" high, so about the letters, not eyes. I'm not trying to argue you, but maybe the graphic isn't showing the true magnitude of how high it was.

What? Top of the strike zone is shoulder height. This is above eye level.
According to rule 2.00 of the Major League Baseball rule book, a strike zone is defined as "that area over home plate the upper limit of which is a horizontal line at the midpoint between the top of the shoulders and the top of the uniform pants, and the lower level is a line at the hollow beneath the kneecap" and is determined by "the batter's stance as the batter is prepared to swing at a pitched ball."
The strike zone isn't the shoulders. It's the middle point between top of the pants and shoulders.
Who hit the ball and where were you playing?

I saw the replay, which unfortunately I can't post. It was eye level. This should never have happened. End of story.

Did the batter jump to hit that?

Yeah it is, you're right. Are you okay with this being a 2 run homer regardless of circumstances? On this feedback?

I can't believe people are arguing with you. Everyone knows where the strike zone is in this game and there's visual evidence.
Total BS my man.

THANK YOU! Nice to see someone capable of using common sense.

Everyone arguing the placement of the ball and I’m just looking at the early ok being hit for a HR. I don’t care where the ball is hit from rewarding someone for swinging early and having bad pci placement is what’s wrong with hr derby the show 20.

It seems like I'm the odd man out here, but yeah. If he expected the high fastball, and got the PCI all the way to the top then yeah, plus an early swing raises the PCI a bit more. Probably won't see it again. Very unfortunate for sure though!
