its crazy how this applies to real life too. i will always have a tough time seeing/recognizing the spin 😂

Love how each pitch goes right down the middle 👍

He does this in rookie with them throwing meatballs … a lot harder when its p5 randy on hof or higher pumping 158 on the corners

It’s so much easier to recognize spin and break in real life compared to the game for me

Dude said "pick up the spin" ok bro I want u to make a video and tell us what it is based on the spin

This really only works on fastballs. If you swing right as they release on curveballs you’ll be way too early

Yeah I’m gonna have the time to figure the pitch out while it’s flying 103 mph at me

I actually have more success hitting when I let the ball come to me. Not being afraid to let the ball get deep and react to the pitch. And if I’m having trouble picking up sequences, or don’t really know what I’m looking for…. I sit middle fastball and react to any pitch near the middle early in counts. Best advice anyone ever gave me in mlb the show, is see the ball and hit it. Seems obvious, but the more reps you get over the years, you will get better and better it’s inevitable.

this will definitely make you a better hitter in the game and what i love about the sport is even then you’ll get pitches that make you look silly 😅😂

Its insane how simple yet effective this advice is😂 like it sounds very obvious but no really if you just sit at the right angle to catch this everytime you have those games where u mercy ppl😂

Ive noticed that after a while of doing whats mentioned in this video, i started being able to predict the general area that the ball was gonna land on based solely on when the hand releases the ball, ex: early release from the hand means high or middle and complete follow trough usually end up in a lower to almost on the ground pitch etc.

Helps when you’re on Rookie difficulty too 🤣

Also right down the middle every time

Meanwhile, grass is green

This made such a huge difference in my game right off the bat. I’m on hall of fame and my pci placement improved and just had to work on timing. Just hit 3 homers in a row following this method

Number 1 tip. Turn it to rookie mode

Great tip to use until Felix Bautista comes on the mound

Just started playing two days ago and now knocking them so far out of the park they got send out a search party to find the ball 😂

I thought that was a given its just like real baseball

It’s simple, work the count to get ahead and when it comes to timing “stay back” in other words give the ball time to reach the plate. Better late than early.

This helped so much!!!! No joke I hit nukes by using this method, thx so much

Thanks

I’m still just lost and confused lol

I just go off pure reaction cause i have pretty fast thumbs

Because of this video this helped big time thank you🙏🏽

im having such a hard time seeing spin and i literally play on a 4k monitor lol

In the first second of the video, I thought you were going to talk like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Bro this has made me so good within only 30 minutes of doing this holy crap, thanks dude😂🤘🏾

It doesn’t matter because even if you do this you will still fly out to the warning track or ground into double plays every time.

As I hit a Homerun first, try using this

I literally am playing the show right now, watched this video and just hit a home run

What I do to find the arm angle and release is tracking the glove side and we’re that’s at that we’re they release it.

I didn’t know this I am going to try it so now I know why players online are always hitting it

Issue is i can't read where it's going it's less about the type of pitch

He's 100% right about picking up the release point even if the video shows nothing but meatballs

Thank you sooooo much

I’ve been playing Diamond dynasty since the show 15 and never been a threat. There will be a span of 2 days at most when I’m hitting well. But most of the time it’s just a dice roll. My record is 35-17 which doesn’t look too bad at first, but my batting avg is only .244 and most of those wins were when I first got the game and was playing other bad players in the lower divisions. There isn’t a specific pitch that I do well against. I have the same chance of hitting a HR on the corner of the zone than I do in the middle 😂

How did you read the pitches so fast jesus im like 80 seconds behind i cant never tell a fastball from a cutter

Boom perfect perfect ✊

Same in real life wanna see it out the hand

Just sit on the high or low cheese and adjust to the off speed and punish their mistakes.

This is spot on. And the point of all of the practice is that you are still going to fail alot. Especially online and on hof or legend. But because of the practice you'll succeed alot more the more you commit. Just like everything else in life 😂

Pci settings / transparency and hitting view?

I tried this but I keep swinging too early. I would usually swing right when the ball is almost at the dirt, right where the turf and homeplate dirt meet to be exact. It works, sometimes lol

Thos is why i played on the easiest i can go and started with timing. With timing your gonna get acclimated to watching the pitcher

nice catch

Or just use quadrant guessing to eliminate half the strikezone. Still dont know why Im THE ONLY ONE who has done this since the came up with quad guessing. Yall like doing things the hard way even though your soft gen zers who DONT like things hard.

This is a joke. There are multiple pitchers on the game that have absolutely fucked up releases and wind ups that make 0 sense and nobody could read.

You should also change your hitting to just buttons only. What is the point of purposely making the game harder by having the more complex batting controls

Yoo what’s that pci setting?

I am terrible at picking up the spin no wonder I’m late on fastballs all the time I’m starting swinging way too late

All these tips and tricks, comin back to KZfaq. And I still slam my pci every pitch

Does that mean tap while balls in his hand or recognize it ??????

If u played in real life you would know to stare at the top of the pitchers hat

jokes on you i play on rookie and only get fastballs

yeah i can pick up the spin when its 102 thanks

Look at the pitchers cap

I never do that n still positive in wins

Literally hit two bombs after this lmao

How did you get the line things

You can not tell what that pitch is right there on this game lol

Hey here is my number one tip, hit the ball perfect perfect. Easy.

Did mlb the show get harder or I just haven’t played since ‘17 show and I’m ass now?

I'm sure this works when they throwing shit down the middle.....what about reality??????

people shitting on this most important tip. i GUARANTEE you (because i catch myself doing it) that you have no idea how ADHD your eyes really are pre-pitch thinking you’re “looking” at release point and break etc. nah we all get in that rut where we like “wtf!? i 😅can’t stop swinging at shit pitches...” this tip right here!! literally fucking inhale and exhale and just focus on that highlighted circle he edited in there around the hand. it will literally lock you in to any pitch they got in their arsenal AND you can get SO good at knowing what’s a ball or strike regardless zoom or strike zone camera view. TRUSSSS GREAT CONTENT KING

I don’t even know how I hit lol I can’t look at pitcher hand or hitter leg kick lol I just wait and hit what ever comes but I can recognize the pitch very well my average is 389

Someone tell T Martin

He’s kind of throwing the ball right down the middle so how could you not miss 🤨🤨

Thanks bro

Dude I’m old my hand to eye is terrible. There has to be some hack to use this pci thing easier

This is a video game gang 😂😂 chill

How do I hit the pitches that go out of the box

joseee josee jose jose jose jose

I do this and whiff on three straight sliders cause my blind ass can’t read spin off the hand 😂

hate it! I can't hit the dam fastball! ima offspeed crusher tho

Bro ive never plaayed any type of mlb game till about a week ago ive been playing and i fuckinf absolutely suck at hitting. Bro i cant hit no fucking ball. Im always missing if they throw high i bat too low if they throw low i bat to high like fuck i never know where their throwing. I only play online too.

Is this really a tip. The problem is that the pitches are not down the middle and its usually not a fast ball.

I like following the pitchers glove to the hand going behind the back, then continuing to follow the motion of the arm. This usually helps to follow the ball and square it up if it’s across the plate, as well as recognizing early if it’s off the plate. If I get a 2-0, or 2-1 count I aim the pci at the pitchers head and look for something up in the zone. I hardly ever strike out and win 100 games per season at a hall of fame level.

I still suck tho

Ok

Sure picking up randy on HOF is easy 🤓

Wtf you mean pick up the spin?

😭

Ok, so pick up the pitch right out of the hand….. then what? What does that even mean lol. All of the tips are pick it up out of the hand but no directions after….

Funny cuz you can’t do this unless you buy a tiny monitor or spend $$ on a niceee tv. 😂

Bro it this doesn't freaking work

Guy what are you talking about that doesn’t work

Jeez bro. Easy to be in practice mode taking only middle pitches and then talk about ball tracking. Not hating but atleast have other pitches in different areas of the plate while telling us how to play better

Do my ears deceive me or are you a fellow New Jerseyian??

Duh

Yeah this is useless

Lmao L tip

This is the worst hitting tip ever

Terrible tip

This didn't teach me anything, I don't understand shit
