    Contact = PCI size
    Vision = Timing window

    Contact is the ability to hit for average; vision it the ability to avoid strike outs and reduces weak contacts

    Vision is the outer pci circle. Contacts is the inner circle I believe

    That's what it is. Notice if you play with someone like Gallo their inner PCI is small but the outer PCI is larger. Where as someone like the 95 Rickey Henderson has a huge inner and outer PCI. Think of it as vision is the odds that you can get a bat on the ball with somewhat good timing (doesn't mean you'll hit it good though) and contact is thr likelihood that you'll hit it better and have more of a chance of a base hit. This is also a big reason why guys can square pitches up that are outside the zone because they move their PCI to a spot that either they're going to foul it off or actually hit it.

    This is why for guys that don't use zone and use either directional or pure analog hitting it is recommended to have high contact and high vision guys because the AI sets your PCI for you and the higher you have in both the more likely you'll have success with those input methods. This is another good thing to keep in mind when pitching as well. If you're going up against high vision guys you're less likely to get swing and misses so you want to focus on pitching to spots that are less likely to be squared up. Where as if you're pitching against low vision guys you can go for the K more often.

    But yes. Vision is Outer pci. Helps with fouling off pitches.

    Having high contact gives a bigger Diamond/Dot in the middle of the pci.
    High contact/High Power guys will have the top and middle dots bigger, small bottom dot.
    High contact/low power guys will have small top dot, big middle and bottom dots.

    Pci size also change according to the pitcher they face

    Visio. Is outer PCI, but the outer PCI is pretty unimportant unless you foul off a bunch of pitches. Visions important purpose is that it effect the timing window
