Experience over everything else. The more you see a certain pitch, the faster you'll recognize its pattern and the faster you will react. There is no trick to it, repetition and practice is all it is.
What have we seen, 100k pitches in the years we ve been playing?
I'd guess more than that if you're patient. Average around 100 pitches per 9 inning game, you'd only have to play 1000 games. I'd bet between vs CPU & humans you've probably seen over 1m.

I'm not an elite hitter but I don't think I'm terrible. Last year to help out at first when playing conquest and I couldn't hit a guy I would go to replay and just keep watching their motion to find their release point. Then just stare at the brim of their cap until the ball comes out of the hand.

Fastballs that come in at 100-102 mph with outlier basically got to swing as soon as you see there hands go up otherwise your late on it , I wonder with people who play on a monitor if it’s the same ordeal .

Change your TV settings to game mode… then at the main screen of the game go to settings- video- and change the game resolution to faster. It’ll reduce the resolution to 1080p and help a little with the input lag

SDS needs to clean it up. The timing windows change by the day

I feel really stupid but I can't find the settings you speak of on the main screen of the game. Are you PS4 or 5?

They don't exist on PS5 version of the game. Also, make sure you have your PS5 in performance mode. Can't recall where that is but it's in PS5 settings. Maybe under game data.

I switch to a cheepo monitor recently the game feel smoother and I'm early on most pitch... so for me I'll say I got a wider time window to figure it out and I still sukc

Patience is
Only look for your pitch till 2 strikes even then look for something. For me it’s pitches up that i can destroy so i only look for pitches up until 2 strikes then i battle. People tend to panic in 1-0 and 2-0 counts so chances you see a high fastball increase a lot

Another tip that i don't think a lot of people do is after about the first 3-4 innings, go in Pitcher Analysis and look at where your opponent is throwing relative to the zone. You can also see what he throws most as his 1st pitch, when ahead in the count, when behind in the count etc to help with your pitch anticipation. It's a very underrated tool.
