I hit using pure analog and it seems like no matter what I do, I cannot hit the ball to the pull field. Maybe one out of 20 or 30 of my balls in play go to the pull side. About 5 out of 20 go to center but the vast majority go to the opposite side. I do admit that even with the fastball pitch speed at 5 and offspeed pitch speeds lower than that, I find it almost impossible to have early swing timing (but I dont like them that low because I almost never strikeout, which is unrealistic). I trust that is probably the most important factor in which field the ball goes to, but is there something else that I should be doing? I'd like this game to play as realistically as possible and having 75% or more of batted balls going to the opposite field is not realistic.
Cannot pull the ball for the life of me

Bat speed. Not fast enough to the ball so it’s going oppo. I’d rather hit oppo anyway so I don’t know why you’re madZ especially with shift guys up
I do prefer oppo field hitting as well, but not to such a high degree. I'm not mad, just would like it to be more realistic.

Try getting underneath the ball more to lift it, I know it's hard to consistently get back to back hits especially facing that glitch Kershaw wannabe Kluber but just sit in certain spots n study his pitch analysis of where he pitches. Everyone has a pattern
