I rob 4-5 a year. Takes alot of luck. I see people try all the time but they really don’t have the technique
Yep, I think i have robbed about 15-20 this year. It’s definitely a numbers game where the failure outweighs the success by a large margin

I hit a dinger for a sure HR right? Nah, robbed. Fast forward half an inning and he hits a dinger and it I can't catch it with Mickey Mantle. Right...
Trout has been a god for me this year i have robbed a few homers in RS play - took screenshots and all - you just have to time it right
-
I've been robbed all year lol
-
I get one every now and then but not very often...And I’m ok with that. It’s a rare occurrence in real life & should be in the game as well.

My favorite play of the year was 2 months ago and I robbed a 3R HR with Babe Ruth in Left Field. Seeing the Bambino run and scale the wall at Shippett made me laugh many, many times. Won the game based on that play (and his 2 HRs) for sure.

I've robbed like 3 or 4 this year. Its very difficult but also very satisfying when you do, which is how it should be imo

Someone robbed me off arenado in the giants event. To center. Then I hit a bomb with Seager and dashboarded me
-
I've definitely robbed over 10 on the year. And probably even more against me.
-
I robbed my share this year. Best bet is let it stay ahead of you, and slowly ease ur way to the ball and jump at last second.
Edit: ease way to warning track...

I've gotten a couple this year with Mantle.

Got one with Walker a few weeks ago.

I agree. So far I’ve robbed 2 this year. Conversely speaking, Griffey Jr. robbed 2 from me in the same showdown! Three batters apart. I was like whatever dude...

A lot of times the game says the homer is catchable and it's not. The ones that you really have a chance at need to have the ball drop indicator hang up on the wall for a bit. If it's just the jump meter the whole time it's almost never actually able to be robbed.
And obviously you need to time it right, zig zag and not jump too soon, etc...

I rob around 5-10 every year, but in reality the instances of having a home run robbed is much much much higher in terms of frequency in this game than IRL.

If you zig zag you’ve already failed at the rob attempt. You are much more likely to rob a home run rounding into the jump arc.

Zig zag, rounding... What I meant was basically stalling in the outfield and timing up the jump.
