    @LIONED-33_XBL it does it forces u to have much more of an approach at the plate. And as pitcher it combats how op hitting was.

    I didn’t like it at first. But it kinda made a better hitter. I guess swing the box was messing with my eyes. It did help with not every hit being a hr or barreled up.

    I LOVE the new strike zone, especially as a pitcher. I also feel it’s making me a better hitter too.

    It was probably a needed change. It is a lot tougher to hit than it was, though...especially if you were someone who wouldn't swing much at edge pitches. That strategy is hard to use now.

    I like the strike zone too, just wish the umpires actually made the correct call.

    @IaMbAtMaN7777777_PSN No thinks. It should reflect how the strike zone works in real life. Adjust.

    The strike zone is still the same as before. Its just a visual change. If a pitch was a strike before its still a strike now, if a pitch was a ball before its still a ball now.

    It has made me better against the inside Cutter.
    The Splitter is still my Kryptonite, though. I despise that pitch, lol. At least 'against.'
    Pitching-wise, it's great!

    Agreed, it's made me more patient at the plate. Taught me to work walks and that strikeouts are not necessarily a bad thing especially with a man on first with less than 2 outs. A lot of times with 1 out a man on first if the ball isn't down the middle I'll take the strikeout to stay out of a doubleplay.. Usually I do a lot damage with 2 outs they are more apt to theow it over the plate than then to nibble.

    Also noticed I am getting more gap shots and singles and not homering 10 times a game. It feels more like baseball and less arcadic.

    I hate the splitter. If it's up in the zone I can crush it, down around the knees dropping out of the zone forget about it, the spectators are feeling the breeze of my bat swinging through hopefully making contact with a mosquito because it sure isn't making contact with the ball

    Change up for me...It looks like a juicy meatball and then the bottom just falls right out of it. It's also my humble opinion they gave changeups WAY too much vertical break, but I still gotta hit or lay off the d@mn thing.

    I must not be a good pitcher as I'm getting hit left and right.

    The only time I go after a change up if it starts up out of the zone then I will know it will be somewhere in the middle of the zone. It it starts im the zone, no bueno for the worms. Probably my second least favorite pitch
