I was struggling with showdowns, but recently came up with a strategy that worked for me. I took until 2 strikes unless the pitch was thrown down the middle. I did accidentally swing at a lot of pitches that were not down the middle but not enough to change the end result. Do not get frustrated. I then went with my usual approach where I control the sticks if I got to 2 strikes. The perk priority is to first use 7th inning or later exit velocity or vision. After that I used 2 strike exit velocity or vision. I think it is critical to have the 2 strike perk as you are going to do a lot of 2 strike hitting. The pitchers are going to throw strikes so do not expect walks, but still be patient as that helps lowers the pitchers energy. Do not get frustrated if things are not going your way.

Same thing happened to me. Crashed after the 2nd inning 3 times in a row.
