So is the vision stat basically meaningless if you are using zone hitting?
You’re in the right track, you were also mislead, contact is the middle PCI and vision is the outer, it can help foul off bad swings and help you not strike out. But getting better at hitting will have those start to disappear, and although it’s not meaningless, you won’t need to worry about it as much.
Trout is a great example, massive contact and mediocre vision, the target that matters is massive, and the one that isn’t as important is much smaller. You wouldn’t want to trade his contact for vision and have 110 vision, 60 contact.
Great way to put it that helps with the trout analogy....thanks a lot

No problem, when you get more comfortable you’ll have to find the balance you like, players with really good timing and accuracy can get away with someone like Gallo who has terrible contact and vision but massive power. Meaning the two things they can control are in there hands, but the power they don’t have control over is as high as possible. I prefer to try and find a balance and trade some power for contact. 80-90 contact and power is perfect balance IMO. Hit for average and for power. Corey Seager or Postseason Josh Donaldson are decent examples but honestly most cards fall into that category.

Zone especially if you can figure out how your opponent is pitching you and can sit on a pitch in that location.

Which one is better? Is it possible to use analog and be competitive or is zone hitting a must? New player here just curious and also wondering why if not...thank you
You can be "competitive" using Directional if that's what you want. Probably gonna be more difficult over all as there is more randomness involved but it can be and is done.

if you are doing well w/ analog stick with it. i dont understand why everyone has to use 'zone' or is pressured to.

Yeah samea that’s why I was curious if I “had” to use zone to be competitive.

I just wonder if I’m selling myself short and wasting time on analog if zone is “sooo much better and every competitive YouTuber uses it”
