Perfect Perfect???
-
How am I hitting perfect perfects with batters with 100+ power and they’re fly outs that don’t even make it to the warning track?
-
Not all perfect perfects are home runs and nor should they be.
Perhaps they need to change the name because many seem to think that all perfect perfects should be automatic home runs and that's just not the case.

Boils down to launch angles. For the most part, when I have checked their distances based on launch angles and exit velocity seemed to be roughly the same as Statcasts actual data for real at bats.
I assume that since there can also be perfect/perfect ground balls as well as pop ups that the sweet spot for perfect placement is a little bigger. This may be in order to make perfects a little more common at the expense of them all having perfect launch angles

If you also check your PCI, a lot of the times the ground balls you're P/P but SLIGHTLY above the ball.
Now there is a "glitch" (maybe) I get where with a lefty hitter I'm P/P and just below the ball, which is typically a tank... but then a % of the time, it ends up being a line out to the 2nd basemen. This happens for me more offline than online, though. -
@Bridge-Piece_XBL do hitters still have preferred pitch locations? Remember a few years back when power hitters were best with pitches higher in the PCI while balanced hitters sweet spot was the middle?
-
@Dolenz_PSN you know, I turn off the red/blue zones... but now that you mention it, perhaps that's the issue. A P/P in a blue zone may be more likely to be an out. I'm going to turn those back on and see if I can make sense out of it.
