MLB The Show: The Hardest Pitch to Hit Is...

[Herschie]

Low changeup. If I have a runner on first, there are about to be two outs if the pitcher throws the low changeup.

Knuckleball by default for anybody however the approach i take is guess whatever pitch you struggle with in a location that gives you a hard time example for me i guess curveball down change up down slider outside that way it eliminates that spot and i can sit on a FB

Inside two-seamers that nip the inside corner are deadly. Low change-ups are devastating as well, especially when the CPU sets up the pitch with a few high fastballs. Not cool, dude. Not cool...

Knuckle sandwich

Though an outside slider from a RHP to a RHB is also very tough. Especially if the RHP has a good fastball too.

[Bawstun]

Knuckleballs and any pitch from Darren O'Day.

Low changeups are the death of me.

[Blublub]

Low change-ups FTW

Always the out-of-zone high fastball. Can't hit it and can almost never lay off of it.

"Wow, no chance of getting on top of that fastball" ARRRRRRGGGH

I cant hit pitches thrown by submarine pitchers. At all. Lol

But yes, change ups kills me everytime.

[cusefan74]

Changeup low in the zone. I hate that thing.

[BizDevConglomerate]

I hope the hitting logic is fixed. Especially with the next Gen console. Hitting is too difficult in the show. It seems like your to early or too late. By a hair.

Re: MLB The Show: The Hardest Pitch to Hit Is...

Yeah, times I think I've got great or perfect timing, and I'm just early or just late. It can get annoying. Then again I use hardest hitting settings, so maybe I should ease up.. hmmmm

Re: MLB The Show: The Hardest Pitch to Hit Is...

1. Sliders
2. Anything submarine
3. Anything low


Especially a low slider from a submarine pitcher lol



I got a LOT better at plate discipline in 2013, started drawing walks regularly, got into a nice groove with pitch recognition. But it's been months since I played so I'll probably be hacking a lot to start out in 2014. Hopefully muscle memory (thumbs have muscles in them) will take over and I'll be able to get back some of my moxie at the plate sooner rather than later.


Guess pitch helps a lot, if I get down in the count I always guess low so I don't strike out on something in the dirt.If I know it's not gonna be low, I have a much better chance at either taking a ball or swinging on something hittable. I can generally tell if a pitch is gonna be inside or outside, unless it's a lefty throwing a slider outside against a lefthanded batter, that pitch kills me. Against lefties I will also guess outside a lot when I've got 2 strikes on me.

[Radja]

i dont know why and it makes no sense, but i have to take my hand off the controller when i recognize a high fastball. for some reason, i twitch my hand and swing at them. if the crowd yells swing and / or i hear the ball hit the glove i twitch and swing.

otherwise, i is a pitcher with a slow fastball and an even slower change up or curve. i cannot hit those guys.

Sliders away are hard for me, but I've learned some self restrain .. Except side arm pitchers, can't hit them at all
