Come now and tell me check swings don’t bail out bad hitters.
I would be ready to shove the controller down my throat at that point, the patience u must have. Kudos.
I'd shove it somewhere else personally.
There’s a gaping world of possibilities of what this could mean.
But does it include the planet Uranus? You bet your [censored] it does.
Let’s probe deeper into your Uranus comment.

Until baulks are here you can eat check swings nerd

Go into your settings and turn check swings off(or whatever option is used) and try a game. Believe it should work on dd because I haven’t seen a check swing in a while

You would have swung and missed and the guy that checked his swing noticed a bad pitch and stopped his swing. So the guy with the ability to check his swing is the better player.

Smh. Dude you couldn’t be more wrong here. This isn’t the mlb. It’s a controller. Check swinging is not skill based in this game. It’s a bail out for people to sit fast ball and never have to chase the off speed.- the people that use it consistently would never see pennant race in games past and now they are getting to WS.

a ton of people (myself included) use check swings to check our timing, and with a check swing, you get the feedback. I check swing on strikes in the zone, placed in a location I don't like. It's a strike either way, and I get specific feedback on my timing without making contact.
MLB guys do this on virtually every pitch. You see them go through their stride to time things up. The video game doesn't give us this option, so check swinging is the next best thing.

Silliest thing I've ever heard...tell me more silly things. Check swinger are the better players? What color is the sky in your world?

20 has catapulted some of the worst players to be able to compete with things like check swings and forced mistakes.

This guy wasn’t checking his timing, he was flailing at every offspeed pitch and checking last second. He was even early on the fastball, he clearly was swiging because he couldn’t handle HOF speeds.

Do you check 35 times per game?

Any good player would’ve taken those pitches and forced me to throw strikes. If I kept throwing the pitches out of the zone is because he had no plate discipline... the proof is all the checkswings, he started to swing and went to the bail out quirk every bad hitter uses... checkswing

Done, hopefully next game every checkswing will be a strike!

Excellent pitch tunneling....I bet all the strikeouts were fastballs that were not recognized in time. Every time I throw one, it is sent to the seats.

If I'm not actually swinging, I tend to check swing. Again, I get timing feedback, which is far more useful than sitting there and watching the pitch.
Work every pitch of every at bat, get as much data as possible, then use it to your advantage.

I don’t think you ever needed to check your timing 35 times in a game, also... those pitches were all out of the zone. How can a good hitter be fooled that often? Look at the pitcture I uploaded again

I hear you man, just giving you other explanations as to why/how people use the game mechanic.
I just played a 6 inning game (he dashboarded) against Nolan Ryan. I check swung at least 30 times, he threw over 100 pitches in 5 innings.
I work the count to death, but I take advantage of the ability to time pitches up in the mean time.

It’s a game breaking mechanic. I played this game when it launched and then stopped for months and picked it up again. I didn’t realize how bad the check swing was. It’s the difference in a lot of games.
It basically tires pitchers out so they make mistakes and you can’t always go to your bullpen. And tiring a pitcher out is fine but not like that. It’s corny.

That’s how I lost my WS game this season, against that checkswing bandit...my bullpen was already taxed from previous games I had to sweat to win

Lol, I’ve seen Brev work pitch counts to 100+ pitches in 4 innings and never seen him checkswinging that much... yes, it’s an exploit, you’re getting bailed out too Lucas.
