How do you hit lefty v lefty ?
-
If anyone can give me tips , much appreciated.
I am a natural righty and have no problems hitting righty vs righty.
My biggest problem is lefty vs lefty .
I just mentally can't make the adjustments.
I did hit a bomb with matt olson v lefty today but that was luck. That was all card attributes. Lol.
I rarely put lefties in my lineup for this reason. But to finish the hr derby program i need to use Woods , Chissom and Olson. Smh . -
You’re going to need to travel to the Canadian wilderness. Commune with the moose and subsist on a diet of maple syrup and kraft Mac and cheese with ketchup. You must sing Bryan Adams at every sunrise and Avril Lavigne at sundown. Do this for 40 days and 40 nights. When your body, mind, and soul are ready, Joey Votto will appear to you.
Then, your training begins.

I’m not awesome but some things I’ve done to help:
1 - anchor the PCI at middle in, everyone likes pitching lefty on lefty on the inside, this gives you a quicker reaction.
2 - hunt for inside pitches until 2 strikes, use ambush if that helps. Ignore everything else until you get really good at sniping those inside pitches. Once there’s two strikes, tendency is to throw pitches away to get you to chase outside. It’ll take some practice and time, but you’ll eventually start seeing those and layoff.
3 - Custom practice, start with bronze pitchers and work your way up to diamond and especially pitchers like Sale and Hader who have killer wipeout sliders.
As always, patience is the key, hunt for the spot you want until 2 strikes. You’ll strikeout a lot initially but eventually you’ll start to dial in.

Not a cure but can help: forget who hits, focus on the pitcher and the PCI. Have the same approach as if your hitter was RH

Take your monitor and place it in front of a mirror. Then, everything will appear righty/righty.

Don't you mean Juan Soto?I don’t think Juan Soto will appear to you in the Canadian wilderness if you purify yourself in the ancient rituals of the Canadian people.

Larry Walker might though

@SchnauzerFace_MLBTS does this require saying sorry to lefty pitchers ?

The yeti must squat over your face and fart. This is the only way.
-
Other than that just hop in a practice session versus a lefty on legend. You'll get there.

Pray you are on a good server or no matter what you do you won't be able to catch up to inside fast balls. They have made hitting extremely hard this year. Or you can snort some Crack like some of the people on here. That will speed you up. Anyone who hits 400 plus on average has to be on drugs.
