    Go to practice mode on legend and have someone like manoah pitch only sinkers to you and use power swing to hit. You’ll miss a lot, but when you start making contact then when you use your normal swing in game you’ll be really squaring up on those

    Is there a way to control which pitches theyre going to throw or should I just do someone with main pitch as sinker?

    Yeah, you go into batting mode and you can choose what pitch and where in the zone they throw it so you can just practice until you’re comfortable

    This is the only pitch I cannot handle. Im at the point of never swing the bat when a sinker is coming because it will be an automatic out. Its so annoying

    Well Since its been the most broken and overpowered pitch for a few years now, and SDS has literally laughed and made jokes about it instead of fixing it. Comes out of the hand looking like off speed, then speeds up late and cuts in so hard on righties even if its a high pitch. You could tell me where a sinkers coming and if its against a good pither I still probably won't hit it. Used to make World Series regularly a few years ago and ever since the god sinker was introduced I cant. Any tips, or is this just something I should practice in batting practice

    When you see the pitch hump, your pci should be where the pitch will end up and your swing should already be started. I don’t know how to explain it, but it’s like fastball swing timing, but your pci has to be down and to the arm side of the pitcher. Take some practice against a sinker baller a level up from what difficulty you usually play on. This will help with timing it up - you can even have them throw just sinkers in a specific zone

    Anything hand side be ready to swing. Lay off anything glove side. You must take away the the inside gas from your opponent.

    the sinker on this game is so out of line with a real sinker. It goes up initially, which is stupid. It should come out the hand like a fastball, then drop and move a little. It looks like a slider or curve out the hand currently, that's why im late often on them.
