Always give a batter 50 AB you’ll know - don’t press take the first pitch! Get to know the pitching rhythm of the pitcher vs Right hand batters and you’ll find more success

The thing is that in baseball good hitters can hit homers on great pitches. Obviously it happens more frequently in the game which annoys me too but I dont think there is really anything they can do without putting the hitter at a disadvantage

Finally somebody that comprehends. This is basically all I was saying lol I was never complaining just tryna figure why is almost every hit on good location a home run regardless if the pci is right on It or barely touching. The frequency of it is annoying that’s all.

When every player in the lineup is a good hitter that can go deep and many games are played in hitter friendly parks like shippett then you're going to have a lot of HRs. No matter how great the pitcher is, once the ball leaves his hand he has no control over the outcome

True 👍🏾

Yeah you hit best when focused on the ball coming out of the pitcher's hand, not waiting til it's thrown to key in on it. When I struggle hitting it's because I focus on the PCI more than the ball and end up missing center cut balls moving it when I don't need to.
Sometimes like the guy above said turning off your PCI can help. I hit best keeping the PCI still then moving it as the pitch is coming in, which makes hitting low balls easier for me. Like I can get under really low balls for HRs sometimes. But it's easier for me to move the joystick down then up. And this method works better for Veteran or AS. But with a smaller PCI, like a pitcher hitting I move the PCI around in circles before the pitch.
If I want to hit a high or high and inside fastball I start with the PCI up and in. That's just me though. I'd also try adjusting the batting camera to Strike Zone or a variant of that if you're using something farther back now, and also adjusting the PCI to just the minimum or removing it entirely for awhile.

Freddie Freeman has a great swing and can play 3B.

This guy rakes. Defense at 3rd not great but his quirks set him apart from everyone else. My first diamond I pulled this year, but at under 35k he is a steal.

Budget beast that is also solid is J. Baez.

Sixto or possibly flaherty/Castillo, anyone else like luzardo or Marquez gets Smashed very easily

I would go with sixto
