Inform us why it is so incredibly difficult to score runs against opponents with low batting averages? I cannot be the only one who notices this. Good-good swings die at the track. Hard hit balls are directly at people. It’s painful to sit through a game like this when you know you should be scoring runs consistently. And it’s true across the board because I’ve studied tons of online stats in depth. Anyone have any info on this?

Opponents batting averages have nothing to do with how good or well they pitch.

Let me just say, usually when guys aren’t great at hitting, they’re generally not that great altogether. (The last guy I played wasn’t great at either and I barely got the win). The best players in the game are good hitters and pitchers, yet the best players in the game this year are getting smashed in terms of pitching. Go look at top 200 players ERA. Yes they play other top players more often than bad players do, but that doesn’t account for having an ERA of 6+. I honestly think it’s an algorithm or something to keep games close between opponents with high skill disparity.

In short, there’s just no way I should be able to hit better off Rebel or Gunski than a dude whose record is below .500 and who has a low batting average. And this is almost always the case.

I am not great at hitting in this game but pitching is where I can stay in games, but it is getting my opponent to swing at ptichers pitches. Knowing I am playing a good hitter my pitching has to be that much better. I am not a WS player but have played some of them in Events and even RS when they fall below 700. My problem hitting is I am not patience enough and when I do get a good pitch to hit I miss time it.

I am about 10 games below 500 I have low Batting Avg but I also have a pretty good ERA most of my games are low scoring. Knowing how to pitch to certain hitters to get them out. Finding the weakness in my opponents hitting make them unjust if I can figure out they adjusted then change how I pitch. Maybe I just really pay attention to how my opponent hits an pay attention what pitches and locations work on certain hitters.

I honestly don't think your last sentence is out of the question.you can usually tell after an inning if you are better than your opponent, outclasswd or around the same skill level. My games with lower bronze and silver players are way too close and I lose way more than I should.

In another thread someone made an interesting comment that sounds like it may fit in this type of thinking. They mentioned that the higher levels of the game players use more hard throwers or guys with lots of movement and tend to fill up the zone with strikes. Their reliance is on "stuff" getting people out more than it is a good mix of pitching and location. At AS levels especially, players may not be as good at pitching or they nibble more knowing it's easier to square something up. That requires users to have much more patience and wait to hammer hangers instead of swinging at everything, even if you can get good PCI placement and swing timing.
Honestly, I don't know what the rhyme or reason is for the game. I can get "good" PCI placement and timing on the ball a lot, but I don't get many HR, which is where this game plays most of the time. HR or bust. Most of my HR come when my timing is early and my PCI is not located well on the ball, from a logical stand point. My perfect results have seemed pretty solid AVG wise, but I rarely hit a perfect for a HR. They're mostly gap shots if they're in the air.

You probably also have a lower ERA because most of your opponents aren’t great hitters. But even when you play someone with a great record, they probably won’t score a ton off you even if they’re raking the ball.

I do think every player can be fooled, kept off balance and have weaknesses. When playing someone who can rake you can not make mistakes pitching. The hardest players to get out are the ones that have patience. I would rather walk a player than give into a player. I have no problem Int walking batters if the situation calls for it.

It's all about the RNG. As far as top players having high ERA's, that's always the case year after year. Pitching as a whole needs to be reprogrammed. It's either around the middle of the plate for a homer or just outside the zone for a ball. Nobody in this game paints the corners like they do IRL. That's the frustrating part for me.

Pitching in 2017 was the best

Good pitching = playing bad hitters.
However, I don’t have any problems hitting against lower rated players
