I'm doing much better in my 3rd year. Think I figured it out. I use directional hitting. I'm terrible with PCI. I've been at .350 for the month of April and I'm hitting for power.

I've switched back and forth, but focus on using the PCI. I rarely move it, though. Only if I have an advantage in the count and I'm looking for a specific pitch in a specific spot. Once you get your vision and contact high enough, you can cover most of the plate without having to move the PCI much.

Yeah, my guy is a Pure Power hitter who also got drafted by Detroit. Absolutely dominated in AA and got called up to Detroit so fast that I never even got a call from my agent.

He's been the Batting Champion for 3 years running (and would have won in his first year if he had the prerequisite ABs). But none of his production at the plate matters because for every 2-3 runs he produces per game, the pitching staff gives up three times that. So we end up with games where we lose 13-4 where my guy was responsible for 3 quarters of their offense.

The worst was when we went from winning like 5-0 and then lost 20-5 in the late innings. That was a real WTF.
