Do anybody have any tips how to beat this challenge. I try at least 50 times and still can’t complete it. I came close a few times within 1 extra basehit

Thanks so much for your insight

Hey I had the same trouble. It took me about 50 times until I finally completed it. What I would suggest what someone else suggested in the community is to sit little low inside to pull the ball to right field. The right field pouch is short . It’s very hard to get a extra base hit, hitting the ball to center field and with mike trout playing center field your chances are very slim. With Lou swing you should have no problem. Try to be early not to early. I went to the community for help because I had trouble with this mission. As soon as I receive the advice I finally completed it before than I failed a number of times.

This game is fun to play in comparison from last year. The gameplay is amazing and a big improvement from last year.

Does it seems like this year on Hall of fame ranked seasons it’s very difficult to hit. Is it just that pitching has improve or the hitting is broken

It all depends on the model. 75hz doesn't mean anything, because MLB The Show runs at 60hz on PS4 Pro and PS5. The 1ms you refer to is not the actual input lag, but a marketing term called 'response time' which is not the same thing. Most monitors will have an input lag of about ~8ms to ~15ms and there are TVs out there nowadays who can perform similarly in that regard.
And last but not least, motion handling is important. You don't want ghosting or inverse ghosting because you won't see the baseball very well. If a panel has a poor motion handling and a lot of ghosting, you can have the lowest input lag available and still struggle to hit because the ball is blurry coming in.

I'd advise you to look up some monitors you like and go to rtings.com to check out the specs I mentioned. They do a great job over there with testing and they're independent and reliable.
