guess pitch and location

[COMMISSIONERHBK9]

i know people say it is bad. but for those that do you use how do you go about for picking what pitch and what location to guess?

Depends on the pitcher and his patterns. Obviously 2-0 3-1 ill look fastball. Ill look at his pitch confidence as well. Some guys have good offspeed and will throw it in fastball counts. I generally just guess pitch now and not location. Then I feel like I have to swing if im right

im bad at seeing the ball so i guess location. they change it this year so if u just guess location it shows up very late. so that why i am guessing pitch too because it will so up immediately.

Its a crutch tgat ruins your approach as a hitter.

You are better off trying to pick up release point. Go into batting practice and just watch the ball out of the pitchers hand. You start to pick up right away when pitches are gonna be low or high.

Well hitters in real life will look at a certain location and or pitch type in favourable counts. If youre constantly guessing ya that will screw you up. Its whatever works for you really. I dont use it much as your ratings are lowered if you still swing after guessing wrong I believe

This is correct. I "guess" all the time but not with the in game mechanic. I have developed a decent eye. If the pitch doesn't go where I am waiting for it. I just lay off. Taking a strike isn't the worst thing in the world.
