Best button to swing with?

Which button produces the most all around hits? I've been using X(PS4) but been in a real slump. What yall think?

Switch to analog. My hitting has increased exponentially using the analog stick.

probably using O is best because it gives you the best chance to hit the ball. power is used very rarely because it only seems to help at all when you know a fastball is coming from down the heart and you can get everything on it. but even if you O that pitch you can still send it over the walls.

I play RTTS and spent several seasons focusing on trying to hit with power swing and had terrible numbers. My last 5 seasons I used X about 90% of the time and saw my average go up about 20-30 points. My HRs did drop from about 30 to low 20's, but my player is also 40 years old now.

I use square until I'm down to 2 strikes at which time it's all about the x button.

FYI game manual says to use O rarely, like to avoid the K with a man on third and one out. Square is solid contact less often but solid contact means it will go farther. I use X mostly, square with runner on first or nobody on and two out, generally. Not with Ben Revere though.
