Hitting Tips?
-
As someone on the Nintendo Switch, I need hitting tips because I suck at hitting. Yeah I am sort of good but before I tried all-star difficulty, I chased every single pitch that was delivered to me. That caused me to build a ton of strikeouts and no walks. But I tried all-star last year and I have majorly improved even though I noticed that I am chasing pitches more often lately. I do use a good strike zone camera, but I think the bat on the screen is the problem most likely, and then it's the FPS. I know I probably should be asking this when I migrate to PS5 for mlb the show 26 but I just wanna get quick tips.

On Switch, theres not a lot you can do. I would buy a Pro Controller, get a Kontrol Freek for it, and makes sure youre playing on a TV or monitor. Focus on trying to catch up to fastballs. -
@TheRupster12_XBL No point since the official launch is in 12 days (or 7 days with early access) and I have to test out the gameplay on the PS5, I will let you know. I do try to catch up on fastballs but either my PCI isn't on it or I am too early or late. I did take myself to the practice mode and batted with Aaron Judge and Bryce Harper and work on some parts of the zone that I need help on.

Great video that helped me a lot.

@LHUBison58_XBL I actually watched it except I had my PCI just diamonds, not bat. The results are crazy, I did more contact with the PCI change, and the part where I use power with power hitters, normal (power and contact) with balance hitters and contact with contact hitters really helped.

I use the diamonds and no outer or inner rings. It’s helpful for sure. BP also helps a ton.

Let’s be real you can use a dumbbell as a PCI at the end of the day it’s all about comfort. I do recommend strike zone hitting view, and watch for the pitcher’s arm action. I’ve noticed the arm action often gives away what pitch is coming.
