Balls vs Strikes recognition.
-
So when I practice with all pitches in the strike zone I do great.
But when the pitcher can throw balls and I have to take that extra second to make sure I'm not swinging at something out of the zone it makes me a second late on pitches.
Anyone got advice or tips for being able to recognize balls from strikes faster, so I can fix this 1 second problem? -
It's literally just something that will click one day, it just comes through playing alot

Well first 1 second is way too long. It's more like a fraction of a second. And to state the obvious you need to recognize the pitch as soon as it leaves the pitchers hand, not while it's on the way. It takes some practice picking up what kind of pitch it will be out of their hand, but reading whether it will be in the zone or not is a little bit easier.

My process
- Go to practice mode on rookie difficulty and use zone hitting with only center diamonds turned on.
Select only 4 seam fb and only the 4 corners of the strikezone.
As pitches come in onky move your pci to the spots and do not swing
Then deselect all the 4 corners and let the cpu throw you pitches to all the zone both balls and strikes.
Grade yourself every 10 pitches.
Have you swung at 90 % strikes??
Move difficulty up towards legend as you hit the 90 % mark in each difficulty
Good luck

I'm pretty good at recognizing the pitches, but that doesn't mean I know if it'll be a ball or strike yet.
But I really like that exercise and I'm going to do it
Thanks.

I turn off PCI. I use zone hitting and I just focus on timing and pitch pattern. About three innings in I'll pause and look at pitch locations and normally notice trends. Off speed are low and out of zone and fast balls are up and on corners. Then just focus on my pitch and location.

Plenty of people can recognize a ball or a strike without expensive monitors or cheating. All you have to do is practice it. You're never going to recognize every single pitch anyway. Even the pros can't do that

You're acting as if you're a top player but pretty much sure that I will beat the hell out of you at any given day.
