I have not been able to figure this out either and I have tried to change everything that I can see as an option. It's very difficult to figure out the timing to jump and try to catch flyballs at the fences when you can't see the trajectory of the flyball

I created a new RTTS player and the speed and steal stats are in the low 30s. I am not having any success in the current game. I noticed that the game no longer slows time when the pitcher tries to pick me off. Is the new norm or is there a setting that I need to adjust? If I try to take a slight lead, more often than not, the pitcher will try and pick me off. Trying to steal now feels more difficult than it used to in the previous game. I'm just checking in case I'm doing something wrong or if this is how the game is now
