@mbveeezy22_psn said in Fingers Crossed for a Contact Swing patch today.:
They have to do something to fix the contact swing exit velo. I should not be able to hit 5 home runs in an inning simply using contact swing. It already makes the PCI bigger and there needs to be some penalty to using it otherwise it is just going to be foul ball city until they eventually piece one up. Fingers crossed this next patch addresses it and and people can stop using it as a crutch.
Contact swing should be useful on guys like lofton, lou brock, dee gordon, etc. and in certain situations when you need a ball in play. Not overpowered and able to consistently go yard with.
Edit: Just read the notes.... F me they didn't touch it. This is going to get dumb in a hurry once everyone catches on.
Yep. Played a guy on HOF that used it yesterday. He hit 2 HR's, one of which would have been a HR anyway. The other one wasn't even touching the PCI. A lot of 5-8 pitch AB's with ridiculous foul balls.
