    i agree but i tend to miss alot of curveballs and changeup pitches and i was wondering if there a way to hit them. Eventough i patient with those pitches i tend to strikeout with them.

        I think the contact/batting ratings of the batters have a lot to do with hitting breaking balls, because it's not ALL about timing the swing when it comes to hitting something that isn't straight.

                at the risk of sounding redundant, you just have to time them better. make sure you "stay back" on curve balls, you miss them when you swing too early.

                        it not only deals with contact/batting ratings of the batter but also consists of pitcher ratings and the rating of the pitches the pitcher has. e.g. a pitcher with 62 curveball would make a better contact than a DAvid wells curveball.

                                How about a Barry Zito curveball, still amazes me when I see him pitch (the real Zito that is).

                                        More or less, because the pitcher's rating directly affects how much the ball breaks, which indirectly affects how easy it is to make contact with it.

                                                Pitch location makes a big difference also, less likely to hit a pitch if you're trying to pull a flyball and the pitch is low and away. Plus the attribute bonuses/reductions you get for a hot/cold zone.
