If you're a person who struggles with pci placement I want to help and give you a tip that I feel is underrated. Whether you're bad and moving your pci to the ball or you're pci god you can use this tip to get better at the game. So something I've been doing recently is practicing my hand-eye coordination. I noticed that after just few days of doing this I went from being okay on legend difficulty, to absolutely smacking pitchers like Gerrit Cole, Jacob DeGrom and Aroldis Chapman around the ballpark on legend. So the drill I want you to try is get something that's soft enough to bounce off the wall with out putting a dent/crack in your wall and that is small enough to catch with one hand, like a stress ball our something. Find a wall and some space. Now what you're going to do is throw the ball with one hand and catch the ball with the other hand. Keep alternating between hands, never catch and throw the ball with the same hand. Try this for a week and see how it works out for you. I'm going to leave a link at the end of this post just in case you want to see the hand-eye coordination drill visually. I really hope this helps. Here's a link to the hand-eye coordination drill: https://youtu.be/SaK5dFGuMNA

I forgot to mention that pitch recognition is also key to taking your game to the next level. Also always practice on legend difficulty and nothing else, you're going to fail but keep going and don't give up. You'll make adjustments and get better I Promise.

I was curious about your stats but I can't find them on the leaderboards. Do you play offline only by chance? Thanks for the advice btw.

I took a year off from the game and didn't by the mlb 20 but I've been practicing in the mlb 21 tech test and I've been mashing.

Gotcha.

this is decent advice.
I will say, out of bitterness, that left-handed players are naturally just going to be better at PCI placement.
They really need an alternate swing button mechanic with the PCI placement using the right hand.
I imagine practicing any fine motor skills with your left hand will reap more benefits than this drill. Brushing your teeth, writing, eating, wiping your 'power swing' generator ...

Does this help "newbies" who still drop the pci after a year?

I still drop my PCI from time to time after 6 years. It comes and goes, just like slumps.

I do almost everything with my left hand even tho I am right handed. I even shoot the basketball with my left hand, so I guess catching the ball off the wall with my “weak” hand will only help me to improve.
Thanks a lot

There's a setting where you can change the buttons around and you can use the right thumb stick to move the pci. I think it's under "button accessibility"
in the ps4 settings -

While I still drop the pci every once in a while I don't do it as much as I use to. It's really hard to break bad habits but just keep practicing my man.

That's actually a great tip that I would also recommend.

You would have to use the down button on the directional pad as the x button. I tried it a while ago and it was just to weird and confusing for me.

I actually tried it. It’s very hard because I played this game for so long.
