Anyone else can't hit with Soriano?
-
He started coming around for me lately but I’ve been close to benching him a few times. Him playing second always saved him but now that my CAP is closing in on max that won’t be the case for long. He will be the first of the 99s benched more than likely.
-
Yeah I think I need a quick swing. My CAP is using Gleyber Torres' swing who I raked with for awhile before benching because he is a silver card. I also crush with MA Buxton, Acuna, Finley, Ramirez, Realmuto and just realizing Tatis hits well above his weight especially against righties. All have quick swings IMO. Bellinger has a loopy swing but it's also easy to golf low balls for HRs.

I thought it was just me. I’m batting like 200 with him

It's so weird but I can't hit with him. Just playing offline all my other guys are over .400 with a HR every 4-6 ABs but I'm hitting .340 with him with a HR every 11 ABs or something. Ernie Banks has a swing that is harder to hit HRs also but still has a plus .400 avg for me.
Soriano has been the most disappointing card I think I've ever used, hitting wise atleast. Especially with his attributes. It's like they nerfed him. CPU pitchers definitely pitch to him but still, I am patient and it doesn't make a difference. Anyone else??
I mean just looking at the feedback sooo many other of my guys hit HRs on balls that he pops up or grounds out. Soo few balls are hit with good contact it's crazy.
On the other hand, guys that have met or exceeded my expectations are Buxton (ridiculous) and Finley. Both of them hit balls all the time that shouldn't be HRs but are lol. The opposite of Soriano for me. I never liked Banks' swing either but I'm still using him.I started using contact swing only with Soriano and he’s finally getting hits. When I first got him I only used normal and couldn’t hit a [censored] fly on the wall
-
Yeah, I was batting in the 100s with him for a while, but I’m starting to get better with him I’m around 280 now.

Soriano is coming around for me it seems like. Finley has been trash for me and so has Mike Piazza. Luckily I pulled Adley Rutschman out of a Space Pack so I have been using him at catcher. It is a big plus that he is a switch hitter.
-
Soriano is my best hitter. Love him. Even his gold is a monster.

Finley has the mondesi swing idk how u struggle lol

Can’t hit a lick with him. Both LS Tatis and Mookie have been way better for me. Sticking with him for now as I’m hoping I’ll come around with him, but yeah, it’s been rough

Soriano sucks

This happens every year with collection rewards. And it's too bad. Guys lock in a truck load of stubs for a card they don't like.
This is why I decided against collections moving forward with the game, it's almost never worth it. I prefer to buy and sell guys until I find the ones I do well with. Once you've used them in previous years, you'll have a pretty good idea of which cards you hit well with.
-
I’m not good at hitting but he is atrocious. Hitting .130 and benched him.
-
I am hitting about .180 with him in 200 at bats so I Pretty much use him as a defensive sub and bench bat which is very frustrating
