As someone who picked up MLB this year for the first time. Batting is very difficult. Thank you for the tips! I appreciate it!
not just use plate coverage indicator i played mlb the show 23 how to bunt touch ball:
- click left stick and click far side to any direction for plate coverage indicator.
- press y to sacrifice bunt touch ball more barrel of bunt touch ball advances the runner no lazy at bats advance the runner no if and or buts Nike just do it.
- 99 speed at bat easy to score runs from 3rd to home.
- bunting cuts down strikeouts at bat 3 strikes= 1 out as 3 outs ends inning for team.
- push bunt press y and use right stick and go any direction and hold it down like a game of cricket 🏏🏏
- drag bunt tap y to knock ball down.
- base stealing get runners in scoring position avoid double plays that is 2 outs as 3 outs ends inning for your team.
- steal bases but bunt touch ball lb rb advance lead reduce lead hold down lt release lt to attempt to steal a base but to bunt press y to sacifice bunt.

Case in point at bats bunting touch ball cuts down strikeouts at bat stop being lazy out there advance the runner score runs.
Agreed
I’m in the same boat. First timer here and it’s hard af
same man
It’s so hard to time and knowing when it’s a foul or a strike ball
Maaaannnn that claw and stance tip is really helping a lot thank youuuu!!!!! these tips are really good and custom practice is so much better this year I'm actually playing ranked this year so I hope I get a ton better.
Thanks for those hitting tips… I’m a show vet but I was really not seeing the ball well… Your tips just help me hit two jacks in RTTS. Amazing!
This game is dope af once you start hitting 😂 I like that they make it difficult to hit though.
just got the game yesterday. not a baseball guy but the game looked fun, i made contact probably 4 times on rookie yesterday. this tut was amazing already 100x better! thanks man!
Great video man…I need to get back in your streams for mlb. I quit nhl a while ago but your mlb content is great!
Very helpful and I appreciate the delivery.

This video helped a ton!! Thanks man!!
I’m playing road to the show as I watch this and the claw method and the ball area instantly helped man. Amazing video for tips💯
Great vid sleeves keep it up!
This video is a game changer! 23 is my first show game which I got on release day and the first game I play after watching this video and I get my best ever score with lots of HRs, thanks bro!
Bro thanks! This helped a lot
Thanks dude helps Alot!
Thanks bud appreciate the help
Thank you for the tips they definitely improved my RTTS playing
Never played any MLB game in my life played the trial and was hooked. Your video has definitely helped me get out of a hitting slump.
Thanks for the tips man.. I just began playing DD more and more, that I’d like to play ranked at some point but I’ve always use the directional hitting that I began to use the PCI Bat as well.. I’ve hit some good bombs vs CPU but also struggling centering the PCI without my thumb moving it and also having no strategy, so I will practice this while I grind some better cards and build my team for rank.. thank you again! You gained a sub!
Bro because of you, I improved my hitting next game. Hitting with X changes EVERYTHING. You got a new sub! Thanks homie
What settings does he say so I don’t have to watch it please
@@skipbenny biggest difference bro is using X for hitting not square (power)or circle(contact) I was only using power sing and after switching to normal swing(X) I improved a lot.., also Strike zone 2 for hitting view
@@skipbennylol why not just watch it?
Thank you so much for a tutorial!
Great tips. Thanks!!!
Glad they helped!
Dude... thank you. This was so helpful. ♥
Happy to hear man!
Man, I've been playing MLB The Show for years, and this video has been the most helpful and awesome info I've ever seen on any streaming site. A lot of good beginner tips, but you also gave me some new ideas! Keep up the great content!
main question is this years 23 better than 21 and 22? i heard if you only play Rttts and franchise only is same thing no different from 21 and 22. same game.
@Angel bluerider Definitely better than 21. If you're only playing RTTS then there's not a huge difference. But it IS smoother, loads a lot quicker, and overall more enjoyable.
Subscribed!! I liked the way you talked to me. Straight up 💯
Man this mad an immesiate difference. The camera and PCI changes were a huge help. Crushing it as always my man!
This helped me so much this is my first mlb game I just downloaded it from game pass and I'm hitting nukes ❤
Great video. Helped me immensely at least have more contact.
And nice choice on the hat!
GO KRAKEN!!!
Yo! I struggled with outside and inside pitches, that tip about the ball crossing the pitcher and etc helped me a lot!
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I can work on my plate discipline and hit better because of that tip that many other creators don’t say/tell
This video has helped me immediately. I am cranking a home run way more often now. I was at all-star, now I am legend.
Yes! Thankyou. Recommended dropping to rookie and re-playing games with hard quitting to get your feel for it before letting it affect stats… no batting cages :(
Thanks!
I like using no inner PCI just diamonds in the middle and reverb outer PCI. It helps me hit better at higher difficulties.
I’m 54 and have been playing the game every since it came out and I changed a couple settings to yours in the video and I love it. Thanks!
Helped me more than you'd ever know
Thanks dude
I just got the game today, and this is a lot of information to absorb. Thanks for the tips, it definitely helps.
Definitely a decent learning curve, hope this helps!
This was actually good advice thank you the strike zone 1 is helping me a lot more with taking pitches. Also, I feel you on the whole "playing numbers" thing for newer players with overalls on cards. It's my first mlb the show game, and for whatever reason I just love J.T.'s swing. But thanks for the video it really helped me out.
Just started playing it last night. Really hard lol but I like it. Good informative video
Man that claw technique is helping me atleast hit the ball. I don’t know if my thumb to brain is slow but that claw helps me to hit stuff!! You love to see it!!
Just getting Into MLB I'm fine pitching my hitting is a work in progress thanks
just gotta say, My savior
Great vid. Im a new player. Only played a couple times on 22 n now on 23 I can’t hit the ball all over again. But one tip I figured out myself is that instead of watching the pitcher or ball the entire time. Just look at where he releases the ball when he throws
I watched it twice and subscribed
I hate this game. Hardest baseball game ever. 😂😂
Facts
I'm brand new too it and i suck at base running
Ian gone lie you just gotta play it shi really take skill I was Ass at first keep fw it you a get nice istg
for anyone new, this game just takes time. I started with the show 21 and i was straight cheeks, then in 22 i was a little better but i was striking out more than kyle schwarber irl, now in 23 in a bit better, taking pitches being patient. Just keep playing and you guys will be goats in no time, trust!
bro fr, i have been batting .209 on Rookie difficulty in AA😭
The fact that I'm on cloud gaming doesn't help either
Thanks
u dont understand how happy i was when the show came to xbox, i used to play 13 the show on ps vita and i loved it. miss that ps vita too
Bro thank you for this video. I haven't played in awhile and my hitting was wayyy off in RTTS. The game doesn't help much lol
This year I decided to play in Legend rtts I started off horrible then picked up the pace but still too many strikeouts I watched your video went from batting 240 to 345 in less 15 games still on legend with the setting you provided hit more hrs and even got called up to aaa in those 15 games
The left thumb and pointer finger strategy was a game changer for me as a newer player thank you 🤝🏼
Major League Baseball 2K6 was the last baseball game I ever played on the original Xbox. I recently started getting into baseball again
Good tips. I had been struggling.
Have you ever gotten “opponent has invalid roster” message in Mini Seasons?
Guess I suck. It seems like the timing is all over the place but like I said it’s probably just me. Although in years passed, I never struggled this much.
Same
No… you just need to practice… not gonna take 1 day for you to hit home runs
The game is realistic in the fact that you are not going to hit homers all the time unless you are on a low difficulty which is no fun at all let’s be honest. A real ball player can go many games without even recording a hit and that’s okay! It’s luck of the draw with batting…you don’t have to hit a home run every at bat.
I wasn’t talking about hitting home runs every at bat, but I understand what you’re saying. I was talking about how the timing, to me doesn’t seem consistent
My timing is terrible this year and I play every year and do fairly well. To early on 99 fast balls like what 😂
Thanks I'm new even little Timmy can kill me but last year I barely playied for me batting sucked this year it's better but I only have some 90's but your info is nice many thanks have a good Easter mate watching from the Philippines
Can you swap to using the R stick instead of the L stick? From someone who plays shooters on controller I feel it would come a lot more natural.
do you think this will help in conquest in 24 i cant hit the broad side of a barn atm :(
I mean honestly I haven’t played since like the show 2010 it takes about a few weeks or so to get used to the “general” gameplay of the batting. I’ve done good up to this point and this is my first time seeing this vid so hopefully this takes it to the next lvl. Good luck y’all
How do you get rid of the blue lines AROUND the strikezone. My little cousin put them on and it’s driving me crazy trying to figure out how to take them off
Hey I’m new to the game And the hitting sone is going away once he pitches. Is there a way to keep it on for the whole way through the pitch
I’m a month late but that video is great man. Thank you.
hey i need help in unlocking the the throwing accuracy buttons in the show 23 so i can use the buttons to throw instead of the mdter how can i do that thanks for your help
Do you have a pitching tips video?
the claw method is great, already making more consistent contact.
I'm new I played a bit last year but it's the batting wasn't consistent and didn't make much sence is it any better? Last year I pre ordered now I'm just asking to be sure or not but loved everything else really
It’s great you’ll enjoy it if you get it
I suck at this game but I’m raw af in madden and 2k. So this is the first challenging game I’ve played in forever. I quit the last 2 but imma try to thug it out this time. I’m in 2 leagues now.
Good tips. Bottom line hitting a baseball is hard in real life so it should be hard in the game. Just takes alot of practices and reps and patience to get better.
Hello! New viewer here (subbed of course) newish player as well. Would timing hitting not be worth it? I’ve noticed if I time perfectly it gives me perfect pci even though I’m not using it? Is that an automatic thing every time I have perfect timing or is that a stat affected thing happening in the background? Love the Vids! Thank you!
Hey man! Appreciate the sub! So timing online will give you random results which is why it’s not recommended. If you are purely offline, the whatever works the best for you!
I felt like he was speaking right at me when he talked about slamming the PCI down on tunneled pitches. I think it’s bc my brain believes that the PCI is in the way, like I can’t see the pitch so I move it out the way. Can’t tell you how many perfect/perfect I missed bc of it.
I’m old and enjoy basic franchise mode. Any suggestions to offset the horrendous CPU in-game logic? Specifically with bullpen settings. The over use of long relievers and underuse of late-inning options just takes me out of it.
I was not expecting a halo claw reference. 👍.
Hahaha I was boutta ask anyone if they use directional.. been playing mlb games forever and I just found the pci sooooo difficult to use.. after watching this I think ima try it out again tho.. directional really gives me minimal hits but alot of long balls
Which setting follows the ball during a homerun?
I’m spending up to 30 minutes each moment because my pci placement is horrible and my timing is guaranteed very late or very early
Man that last thing you said couldn't be more true. Some cards are just ass for me. Im batting like .125 with the 95 Nolan Arenado lol. I just can't figure him out
I love your take on not being a miracle worker and not being able to help people see the ball or move the thumb stick.
I always try to be honest in my tip videos. The show is one of the most like, instinct based game. Some will be able to do it immediately, some will take hours and hours to get it
I remember when I first played mlb the show 11... guess pitch was usable lol why not anymore? No mentions or anything. I dont use it personally, but used to (obviously).
Bro, I’ve been playing The Show since day 1 and I never thought about changing my grip on the controller when batting 🤯 I’ve been raking since doing that! Thanks for the tip!
Good communication about hitting how about the defense I’m losing a lot of games because I’m not playing defense well and I’m playing the rtts
Watched this video while working & i was tempted to put it to the test, i got home played 3 games had awesome plate discipline, hit a grand slam & a 3 run home run in the same game to seal the deal. Now my only issue is hitting 102+. Apparently verlander throws 104 I’ve seen it that’s my only issue now
My tip is to just look for the first movement of offspeed and if it doesn’t come yk it’s fb
Is there any tips for someone where i can rarely even hit with timing? PCI im even worse. I can barely do veteran difficuly moments without wasting 30+ minutes and its at the point where its just straight up not fun.
Literally
it just takes a lot of practice and patience, one thing that really helped me click with hitting was just focusing on the pitchers glove and arm motion every time, it may sound obvious but its one of those things you really gotta lock in to focus on
best tip is to go into the practice mode and practice a lot to get your timing down. You can change what types of pitches the pitcher throws, the locations of where he throws them, anything. Practice on the higher difficulties and then playing on the lower difficulties will be easy. It's like swinging a weighted bat in the on deck circle in real life.
There is 2 reasons why this game is so difficult, especially online.
1. The difference in ball speed between all the modes is something that will really mess up your timing. For example, the visual speed of the ball between Vs CPU, 1 on 1, and RTTS are all different. The Vs CPU has a much faster visual than 1 on 1.
2. Latency. You have 2 different systems in 2 different locations (usually) and this is just the downfall of internet. You will find the further away your opponent is, the harder it is to have good timing.
Side note of something that irritates me in this game. The pitch speed between player pitching and player batting. Why the hell did they do that. You look like you’re throwing 45 MPH. Then I go to bat and I have to try to hit 102 MPH heaters.
Can anyone please help. Did they remove the PCI move-to-place when guessing a section for a pitch? It was in last year, can't figure out why they removed it, if they did.
you have to change the setting call guess pitch and turn it on
As someone who played MLB years ago and came back not too long ago…
1. The whole dynamic difficulty is horrible. You should start at the most easiest difficulty if you are really struggling so you can at least get a feel of what good pitches are since most will be in the center of the zone. Once you feel you have caught up to what good pitches are, then go up on difficulty yourself. Go back if you need more practice. Once you are hitting like a pro, you’ll have a better chance facing another player.
2. Good pitches are only going to become rare. Try to not gonfor all the pitches and only focus on what comes closer to the inner PCI as you’ll have a better chance of a solid hit.
Also, look at every pitcher’s arsenal. This way you’ll create a memory of how pitches break and know what each pitcher might be throwing at you and the speed so you get better at timing the swing. After many games, trust that it works.
Once a while we all strike out but when you build up on getting better at being patient with the ball, almost every time there’s a hit.
I’m at the point where I only use the diamonds inner PCI with nothing else and I’m reading the balls very easily.
my pci anchor still locks to the middle even when I have it set to free
Can someone please help me the pci anchor dots isn’t showing when I have all the correct settings on
Should have used a right hand pitcher but great advice!
Seattle gang
this year do they have flick in mlb23
I hit foul ball after foul ball after foul ball after foul ball when I play online. While my opponent doesn't one foul all game. Is it my hand-eye coordination or is something else the problem?
🎉🎉
Don’t forget to plug the controller in for better response time and monitor not tv
The best way to hit is strike zone 2 with pci visibility set to 100%. This way the pci cursor is no longer a distraction
MLB The Show 23 : Good timing & ball in reticle? Out, pop fly, or snagged by an infielder with below average defense.
Perfect Perfect? Out, pop fly etc.
As someone really on the fence and leaning toward buying the game. This didn’t help its cause, challenge is one thing, but I think this helped with my decision unless there’s a patch
YOU FUCKIN BEATY, missed my first pitch after watching this and thought... well better then before and then actually got two balls from being from the pitcher technique and then hit a out of the park homer... I couldn't get out of AA and was almost gonna be a bust lol thanks man!
Bruh I was doing great even in legend+ now I’m just in a bad bad slump
Yo that claw idea is actually pretty slick. I might go try that rn
Can someone please tell me why in RTTS the pci shrinks when runners are on base?
If you didn't know by now, if runners are in scoring position your clutch stat matter instead of your contact. Hope this clears it up!
@@Destrave91 Thank you
I’m 6-0 online and I didn’t touch a slider😂
You should research vision more. It also affects timing windows. It's a lot more important than people think. The in-game handbook explains it a little bit.
Vision in mlb the show 23 means how well you see the baseball. How do mlb the show give ratings to vision: your eye pupil the center of your eye. Go to settings go to bat from plate coverage indicator, that is the actual you yes the actual you with two eyes at bat. For example this is mlb Francisco Lindor in real life seeing the baseball looking at the mound. High vision like for example 90 vision helps you follow through swing. low vision for example 40 vision means the other way around which leads to strikeouts at bat but still:
- to sacrifice bunt touch baseball press y stop being lazy out there advance the runner.
- 4 seam fastballs especially 8888 mph, 2 seam fastballs sinkers and cutters are weak vs bunt touch the ball
- and bunting touch baseball cuts down strikeouts at bat.
@@steveho7366 or you could read the handbook for the proper explanation instead of whatever that was
Hi. As a noob to this game, I am wondering. The pitch type box, are you choosing what the pitcher will throw and then batting off that? I don't understand how that works. How do you not get a hit every time if you choose what he throws? Like I said, first MLB game ever. Thanks for the help.
Oh no, I think you are just seeing it from the Pitchers perspective, online and offline in game you shouldn't see that. Just practise mode.
Still trying to fight the habit of dropping my PCI all the way down when the pitch comes …..
Edit : got to your “claw” tip. Let’s see how that works. Thanks
Let me know!
