Timing up certain batting stances

[Rmiok222]

Are there certain player stances that you cannot hit with? I can’t with Donaldson’s and for me, somehow it’s a timing issue..I can’t time up Donaldson ever. I have this issue mostly with a righty on righty matchup. Anybody else have this issue? Or a specific stance you just can’t hit with?

I love this game btw. Just curious about other people experience.

Yeah. Any batter that "waggles" their bat at the plate, and random players; despite their ratings.

jose abreu. traded him in my franchise.

any player that has a pause in their stride is a no-go for me. it's really hard to mimic that type of stride with a joystick.

i actuallly love JD's stride.

RH hitters with closed stance. I have to cheat to hit a fb. Then I'm set up for off speed stuff. doesn't fit my eye for some reason

I hate closed and low stances. Guys like Arenado and Stanton and Tulo I can't hit with.

Conversely, I love, love, love high and open stances. In 17 and 18 I killed the ball with Kike Hernandez and having just picked up the game and playing through the Moments I love Josh Bell's stance. I know it's on a lesser difficulty but man I was on every pitch. Also hitting well with Cargo.

I also do better if there's a timing mechanism of some sort. Having played for a good chunk of my life I used foot tapping or bat waggling throughout and apparently it helps here too.
