The only thing I disagree with is "time for pitching and hitting to be updated".

There is more to it than simple button presses, and not game out there has the batter/pitcher interface this intense.

I also see no difference with sliding and analog versus a button. It still does the same thing in the end. And is still repetition.

I honestly dont know how you would have something feel like there is more user control without sacrificing to much of the quality, and/or making it feel too drawn out.
