      Dude, you gotta have plate discipline and sit on a piece of cheese and wait for that pitch and adjust to every thing else. An example is say the pitchers main pitch is a fastball. So you want to place your pci in the center and up towards his release point. Only swing at that piece of Cheese and nothing else. If he throws a curve, your going to see that hump after the pitch, then you have the time to adjust the pci in the lower part of the zone. Watch out for those sliders and change ups as well because they look like fastballs then break all of a sudden. When youre behind in the count, they will almost always try to nibble at the corners and throw way outside the zone. There's a good chance they'll miss their spot. If it's a strike, forget about it, and keep looking for that piece of cheese. If they fall behind in the count, there's a really good chance your going to see that piece of cheese you were waiting for.

    The biggest problem I’m having right now is timing swinging late on fastballs and early on off speed, for the most part my pci placement is fine I try starting it at the pitchers hands then following but I’ve been struggling with pitches down the middle cause it’s almost like I yank the pci so I might try going back to holding it in the middle. I’m just always stuck in veteran dynamic

    Plate discipline is definitely my Achilles heel. Always has been. In fact, it's the main reason why I, as an actual baseball player, never made it very far past Little League. And that has clearly found its way into the game. I've been working on that. Always working.

  • @Truth_whisperer
    @Truth_whisperer Před rokem +2

    Love your video , my only disagreement is using contact and power swing in situations. If I'm getting owned I'll go to a contact swing in a defensive ab .. I'll go to power if I got the pitcher against the ropes and he's tired (certain pitches not all in the ab) or I'll go to power if I have an idea of what's coming . Overall love your video. Do those extenders on the control help you not drop your pci as much?

    OK, every year, I try to get better with my hitting, and sometimes I do. But one tip I got years ago that I still do, and that could be good or bad. It is the thumb position on the controller. The tip I got was more the tip of the thumb. I'm feeling that the KontrolFreak you're using doesn't seem like the best for that option. So do you use the flat part of the thumb or the tip of it?

    turn PCI anchor off and just leave your PCI high in the strike zone ready for the high heat. once you read the pitch and recognize its not a fastball, you can just let go of the left stick and the PCI will return to the middle making it easier to sit on the breaking balls or off-speed pitches

I added the black control pads that help with grip. I have 3 types of control freaks. But it always comes back to the controller I just can’t get comfortable. I can’t seem to get my hand and thumb in the right place. It’s to bulky I think.

    There's definitely a difference between the swings, not sure how you can't notice that lol.

    Has anyone been encountering really bad lag online? I’ve been trying to play online but every time a pitch comes in, it chops & trying to get the timing down is so frustrating.

    i either swing at everything and have good timing and bad pci placement or good pci placement and bad timing

    I use zone hitting very differently going back to the psp days. I always start each pitch with the pci on the pitchers hand and follow the ball with it. This has always felt the most natural to me.
    What i dont understand with these new versions is why is there 3 pci dots?

      Wow thanks for that tip! The most helpful tip I’ve seen it’s so much easier to follow the ball like that.

      The top pci dots are where you wanna aim to get a perfect perfect. The top one is a flyball the middle dot is a line drive and the bottom one is a ground ball

    My biggest problem is recognizing pitches which then effects my timing

      Yup. I have been practicing for weeks and i cant "recognize" any pitch. I just suck

      Idk about you but sliders always mess me up. I can hit the hell out of fastballs and curveballs but I never identify the slider fast enough and end up chasing it out of the zone or taking a strike.
