One hitting change I’d like to see

Is the ability to crush balls low and out of the zone. Yes, on real life it happens from time to time but for both me and my opponent it is far too frequent to see balls near the ankles that are crushed.
Whether it is a fastball or breaking ball, it is highly improbable that someone should be able to hit a 105 mph liner on a pitch down there but it seems to happen a lot in this game.

Discourages people from throwing low all game.

What’s that supposed to mean? Don’t swing at low pitches out of the zone. I do it all the tile and get rewarded way too much on those types of swings.
A curveball under the zone is supposed to be one of the most effective pitches in baseball if you get a swing. In this game it is often a bomb.

I think they are ok. Unless someone is throwing too many and you set up down there. Then it should be crushed. Mike Trouts fav pitch. But it is amazing how hard it is to hit a letter high FB out. They should be drilled out if you are on it. But they have improved over last year.

Those garbage hits reward and enable lack of plate discipline

You should go and play MLB The Show 18. You'd love that game, guaranteed.

Well, OP wants to crush balls below the zone. That game allowed that like no other game we've ever seen before and hopefully will see again.

He DOESN'T want low pitches to be so easily crushed like they can be right now.

It's not uncommon to play someone who sits on pitches below the zone all game, taking fastballs if they're down the middle.
If you guys want to golf so badly, there's another game for that...

The problem is too is that they are way to easy to foul off. Just game down the left stick and you’ll likely make some sort of contact...then the dude can just sit high in the zone and wait if you can’t get someone out on a pitch below the zone.

That’s really only true on lower difficulty levels.

How low? I’m in the 600’s and it’s still an issue, so all Star I believe?

Yeah very easy to at least foul tip low pitches from rook through all star as long as your timing is decent unless ball is well in the dirt. Once you hit HOF not so much. But I agree it can be very frustrating.

My first little league homerun was off my shoetops since the ump was calling strikes at the feet. Broke out the 9 iron and teed off

I liked low pitches in real life, but ones in or borderline strikes, this game h game drive one 6 inches below abs off the plate for 450 in all star lol it’s maddening
