What Batting Options do you use and why?

What batting options do you guys use and why?

I always seem to bounce around and never get set on one method.

Zone with analog, all-star. I like Zone because it feels rewarding to get a hit or homerun. The just hit x to swing method never truly felt like I was doing much.

Zone is also challenging which I like.

Hall of fame difficulty with zone hitting

The just pressing x to hit feels “too simple” to me

I play with pure analog (with stride enabled). Makes it feel like I'm swinging the bat. Plus it makes timing your swing much more skill based. Every time I hit that no-doubter I feel incredibly rewarded and validated.

Zone HOF (or its RTTS equivalent given what org level I'm in), Fisheye. Very unlikely to change it unless the hitting adjustments to this years game cause me to,which I don't think they will.

Very well balanced to my skill level - I do strike out, but I also walk and am more than capable of hitting for average and power depending on the batter's ratings.

Yes aim with left stick. Better players will have bigger zone. Swing with right stick, or you can make it where you aim and just press X to swing.
