    Strikeouts using zone hitting.

    I'm curious if any of you guys that use zone have the "issue," of not striking out enough. I really like using zone better than directional but usually strike out just 1-3 times per game, tops. It seems like the timing window and the ability to make contact is increased significantly using zone.

    Yeah, I do. This is why I have to play on HOF - because I don't strike out on Allstar. It's not like my BABIP is that much higher on AS, but since I almost never strike out it has a noticeable effect on my average and OBP.

    HOF with its smaller timing window and plate coverage forces me to "guess" with the PCI early in the count, which gets me deeper into counts creating more strikeouts AND walks.

      The last time I looked at Mike Lowe's sliders he was on HoF, I think, but the user timing was all the way down to 1.

        Hate facing the top guys in this interface.

        They never strike out. Once maybe TWICE TOPS a game.

        Swing at everything and anything in the zone despite where the ball is. I don't think they even have approaches it's a just a game within a game for them(pci).

        And now this year these users hate the just late swings you see irl that goes for power cause they take pride in good timing. It's not even about realistic hitting for them imo
