Can you explain in a little more detail what exactly you look for?
I don't think I can explain it much better but if you go into practice mode and find a guy with a higher leg kick like trout, biggio, etc. If you time when he's placing his foot down on the ground then the hands are going through the zone at the exact same time.
Go in a game on rookie mode and just hit a HR perfect perfect then analzye the swing, what where the foot is hitting the ground when you're making contact with the ball
I'd pick one batter and use practice mode then set it to inside fastballs until you get the timing down....then switch to strikes inside and outside
Most the batters are different with their kicks, I think trout/tatis/biggio are really good for this method. Joc Pederson for example has a crazy high weird leg kick that I have a hard time with...David Wright I think has almost a slide step and is hard to time with different pitch speeds...I'm good with gehrig but he has a fairly low leg kick too.
I think you've gotta try it out in practice mode on a few players with decent leg kicks in their stride
I'm done playing for the year I think, but im curious what your starting lineup you use for this method? Ive heard of ppl using this before, but never really tried since i use a cubs theme team
