Late hits are the new thing i see
-
Why must there always be something that bails hitters out? I have seen more late hits since launch than ever before. Just lost 10-9 where my opponent was able to have a 5 run inning on 3 back to back very late hits. And the best part is there not even bloopers sometimes there’s shots down the line.

its been like this for years unfortunately. the physics on late hits dont always make sense. It used to be way worse though so thnkfully its not that bad.

Late doesn’t always mean bad, same goes for early.

Yes it does that’s why there’s early side of good and late side of good. If your late you got beat i can see a bloop coming out of it but not line drives down the line that’s what late side of good should be.

lol so how do hitters in real life hit line drives opposite field? this is idiotic.
late, good, and early are just labels across a continuum but in any case the bat is finding the ball and it if hits it just right then its gonna go hard somewhere. -

No, it really doesn’t. What you perceive to be “on time” means that, mostly, the ball is going to go straight. Early means you’ll pull the ball. Late means you’ll push the ball the other way. There are other factors, i.e. pitch speed, bat angle, etc. but ultimately, swinging early or late isn’t a bad thing. I intentionally swing late against the shift. It’s a good way to get doubles.
There are balls that bloop for hits or land just out of reach on pitches that shouldn’t have been swung at, but that happens in real life plenty.

There is a huge difference in letting the ball travel and going oppo and being late & beat. Within the game the later side of good contact represents letting the ball travel just like the early side of Good represents pulling a pitch. Show me a batter being beat inside and driving it hard the other way.

What you just mentioned is what early side of good and Late side of good represent. You wanna be on the later side of good on a outside pitch just like you wanna be on the earlier side of good on an inside pitch. Late means you go beat plain and simple and early means your out in front. It’s just like irl if your beat on a pitch your not driving it with authority. If your out in front your not consistently blasting it fair.

It's a spectrum, and being just early or late, or early or late doesn't mean you can't make decent enough contact to get a hit. Very early and very late are on that spectrum, and typically don't lead to hits...but that doesn't mean never.
