Directional Hitting in MLB 15 The Show, How it Works (Video)


This video is provided by OS Guest Poster Jake Berger. You can find (and subscribe) to Jake on YouTube, as well as follow him on Twitter.

Welcome to the second episode of Jake's MLB 101 series. The first guide dealt with Zone hitting.

Today we're keeping the topic on hitting, but we are going to look at the new directional hitting mechanic. We'll break down how its programmed, and explore ways we can use that knowledge to improve our hitting.

Check out the full video above and be sure to subscribe and follow Jake at the links above as well!

Im probably in the minority here but i think the directional hitting is a waste. They couldve used this space to touch up other glaring aspects of the game. Sure it helps if you want to hit the ball in the air or the ground but to pull or hit oppo you just swing early or late on the pitch. Thats how its been for many years now. Regardless just my opinion and really enjoying this years Show!

I thought I was the only one feeling this way. To me, there was never a need to tack this on - pitch location and timing should always be what dictates where the ball goes. But, yeah, I also agree that I am having a great time with the game!

Correct. I would just use directional hitting when there is specifically something you want to do at the plate, like hit a fly/ground ball. still, timing and pitch location/type take precedence over DI.
