@@hectorpatient87 dude that’s something that took me a good year to get out of. So what help me to start taking pitches was taking the first pitch no matter what. An go from there… the pitcher will throw you a strike it’s just up to you to guess when an trust what you see.
Same @drake I’ve been doing better by practicing with my dd team with like 50 contact on legend and changing the way I hold my controller so my thumb is at 90 degrees and I’ve been better at placement
I got rid of the center circles on my PCI and that helped me a ton with seeing the ball. I only have inner basic. Helps a lot when you play at lower difficulty in showdown and stuff where the diamonds/circles are huge
Dude i watched this at 5 am and felt soo happy someone made a super useful video thank you i literally started jumping on my bed from excitement this is gonna help so much.
Keep up the work man, love the enthusiasm. I'm a new player to the Show, and I've been loving pitching but struggle with hitting. This practice looks great and I'm gonna try it and let you know when I'm slugging.
I usually hold my pci up and in. I’m gonna give this a try though because I usually struggle most with those low sliders and sinkers away. Will report back. Great video
Loving the content bro, this is my first year playing mlb and I’ve been STRUGGLING with not swinging at everything, but short to the ball makes so much sense.
Tulo this has helped me alot when I got my head out of my ass. First game on against p5 Cabrera and first inning stunk. Second inning triple with Buxton his first hit for me in 22 ab no doubter from Cedric perfect perfect groshans hits a triple and then nick castellanos his a 101 mph fastball 487 feet and he just raged quit
Huge Help Tulo!! Watch this last year and made tremendous strides with my pci. Struggled a bit this year in 21 in HOF and Legend and came right back to re watch! Got me right mentally again with the pci! Thanks bro
Yo tulo bro appreciate the tips- quick question do you keep your eyes on the pitcher through the whole windup and everything or are you looking at the pci at some point when ur setting up pre pitch?
watched this multiple times this week and definitely helps but still struggling on being short to the ball is your thumb completely on top of the analog or like just the tip of your thumb on analog or could you just explain how you hold left analog
Appreciate it man keep up the good work correctly using contact swing after watching your other video when they patch that do I switch to A or X swing on Xbox
Thanks for the vid bro I just started playing the show and it's badass I just can't hit for shit. Damn dude. So set the sliders while in practice mode right? Your probably burnt on this stuff if your still playing. Talk at you son bro nice fkn smacks man damn nothing like the sound of the crack of the bat on a perfect perfect damn my brain is fried
Hey bro, great vid. Question tho. I've been trying to be more disciplined and not swinging at pitches that "I don't like." But I keep finding myself in 0-2 situations because I'm too picky. How does your mentality change in 0-2 situations? Thanks!
I still keep same approach waiting for something over the middle, if its dotted I'm not afraid to take a called strike looking, but if I see that it's a strike i go into late protection mode. So moral of that is, dont be afraid to take called 3rd strikes✊🏼✊🏼
If he keeps dotting good pitches and getting you in holes (Which is rare) then gotta see if you can yank those tough pitches/Take them the opposite field early in counts
@@VindictiveRaider Look for a common pitch they throw and sit on it sometimes if they throw fast and in fastballs ill leave them on purpose till i have 2 guys on base then with a good hitter count sit there and smash it when its thrown etc looks for consistancy from their pitchs no matter how hard you try to change locations youll always throw something somewhere we are creatures of habit.
Yo Tulo i got 70k stubs who u think i should get for infield? I had JRam but sold him cuz i think hes ass but who should i get between Tatis, Seager, or Lindor.
I don't get where the tips are aside from sliders. Just looks like you crushing balls. Thumbs up though for you trying to help though respect lol. Can you elaborate on the message?
I started off the season 9 and 1. Would you say that's pretty good. I spent the first 40 hrs of playing just grinding showdown so I have an 87 overall team lmao
@@tulo7244 what if the biggest dot is in the middle does that mean perfect line drive since it’s the second dot or since it’s the biggest it’s a perfect fly up?
Also sit on that inside fastball, react to offspeed. Minimal movements will help a lot. And being on that inside fastball will prevent from getting jammed
Be patient, i know its hard af lmao but for like the first 2 innings just take pitches and pick up on their pattern. Im 30-5 in ranked seasons and you just honestly get better as you go because you have to adapt. But, like i said i take a lot more pitches for the first 2 inning to try and get on their pattern
@@itsmedababy3883 Tried that too, but their pattern changes once they found I figured them out. Then it's another two innings to find the new pattern again. Better players change patterns constantly so I could never find any pattern.
ah got it. So just move the PCI super slightly. Are you on Kontrol Freaks? Where do you place your thumb? Also, any tips on where your eyes are? Do you look at the pitches release point? Some of the balls I watch are so hard to determine.
I don't use KF man. And I place my thumb in the middle of the analog stick, eyes are straight at the pitcher and not really, don't really look at release
@@tulo7244 sit up and in a bit, wait for a fast ball up in the zone , if they throw an offspeed adjust to the ball and crush it unless you need to slam the pci down.
@@tulo7244 I will move it the opposite way of a breaking ball to meet it before it breaks even if after I’m like I knew it was not going to be there. Or I will move it way to far up or down and not go diagonal
If yall wanna watch stream highlights, follow me on TikTok!

Me: Okay me, it's a fastball just below the chute, go a bit down.
My thumb: Go all the way down, got it.
Hahaha you're not alone
Fax
IKR my thumb just wants to be all the way down or all the way up
I can take pitches easily I just have trouble with PCI movement/tracking the ball
I’m the complete opposite I swing at everything .

I got rid of the center circles on my PCI and that helped me a ton with seeing the ball. I only have inner basic. Helps a lot when you play at lower difficulty in showdown and stuff where the diamonds/circles are huge
Tried this placement after slumping for a few games. Hit 5 bombs in 4 innings on hall of fame at crosby. Good times
Custom practice got me so much better last year. Thanks for this bro
Dude i watched this at 5 am and felt soo happy someone made a super useful video thank you i literally started jumping on my bed from excitement this is gonna help so much.
😂😂🙏💯
Bro! This is a great video...thank you for breaking this down. Short and sweet!
Bro. You explain that so well. I cant thank you enough

Great vid bro, can't stress enough the importance of short to the ball!

Thanks for this bro, definitely improving not only plate discipline but also pitch recognition! Now it’s back to the lab to put in the work. Aces dude

Thanks for the tip man ! Def helped!
Me in the first half of the vid: 'Short to the ball'? What the hell is he talking about?
Me in the second half: This video was exactly what I needed.
💯 I agree
Ahhh good advice on that short and sweet.
Would u put your pci on the opposite side when using a righty batter so it would be middle in on a lefty batter?
Huge Help Tulo!!
Watch this last year and made tremendous strides with my pci.
Struggled a bit this year in 21 in HOF and Legend and came right back to re watch! Got me right mentally again with the pci!
Thanks bro
LETS GO BRO
🔥🔥🔥🔥 you dropped this 👑
Yo tulo bro appreciate the tips- quick question do you keep your eyes on the pitcher through the whole windup and everything or are you looking at the pci at some point when ur setting up pre pitch?
At the pitcher, until ball is coming then PCI
Hey Tulo great vid- where do you keep the PCI pre pitch when it’s righty on righty or lefty on lefty?
I now sit my PCI middle vs both
Need this it’s the first show I’ve played
tulo has the best hitting tips on youtube
thanks bro! ur goated
When you say short to the ball what do you exactly mean? Because I’m new and not that good
Thx bro I haven’t played since mlb 11
watched this multiple times this week and definitely helps but still struggling on being short to the ball is your thumb completely on top of the analog or like just the tip of your thumb on analog or could you just explain how you hold left analog
I use middle of my thumb so I have most leverage
Appreciate it man keep up the good work correctly using contact swing after watching your other video when they patch that do I switch to A or X swing on Xbox
A
You should do a tips video on how to make World Series also
Thanks for the vid bro I just started playing the show and it's badass I just can't hit for shit. Damn dude. So set the sliders while in practice mode right?

How do you know when to swing so it’s not so late or so early I can’t figure it iut
Audio issues are fixed now✊🏼
BEST TIPS EVER🐐

0-2 is when I use contact swing. Try and work the count back. Then I use normal swing. If I get it to full count I use power swing or normal swing.
I leave in the middle with no movement and just try to adjust
Do you have a vid for setting up your batter view settings?
Yeah
ua-cam.com/video/b-q1EcC0Zic/v-deo.html
Can I play u for practice so I get better and eventually hopefully I become a great hitter. And I love this tip I’ve been doing it for a couple days
Wow this really works thank you bro
When I play I don’t have it so how do you put it in game
Do you bat the same way no matter what? Lefty on Lefty righty on righty? Or do you make adjustments whatever style your opponent is playing?
Same way always
@@tulo7244 I'm working on your style but it's hard to start low I need to start hi. But it is working there is no doubt about it. TY
@@VindictiveRaider Look for a common pitch they throw and sit on it sometimes if they throw fast and in fastballs ill leave them on purpose till i have 2 guys on base then with a good hitter count sit there and smash it when its thrown etc looks for consistancy from their pitchs no matter how hard you try to change locations youll always throw something somewhere we are creatures of habit.
How do u get that hiring thing
I struggle big time with the pitches in the dirt any advice on how not to swing on those
Try to not swing at borderline strikes and work counts, naturally you will layoff balls after waiting for good strikes
Hey is the graphics and the delay better on next gen, thanks for the tips hope u have a great rest of the year.
Yeah next gen feels great
When do you swing
What kind of hitting view should I use for a tv
Thanks
Strike zone!
Can anyone tell me why my pc is laggy and doesn’t move quickly
appreciation
Yo Tulo i got 70k stubs who u think i should get for infield? I had JRam but sold him cuz i think hes ass but who should i get between Tatis, Seager, or Lindor.
Lindor!!
@@tulo7244 i definitely trust you and heard you mention he was a beast but the dude literally has no quirks for some reason..i guess ill try him out
Lindor all he way! I will say this though, don’t sell cards. Use them towards the collection!
Everytime I don’t move my pci a lot I’m always late but my pci is on the ball
I don't get where the tips are aside from sliders. Just looks like you crushing balls. Thumbs up though for you trying to help though respect lol. Can you elaborate on the message?
Where do you start your pci righty vs righty?
Inside most likely
SHORT AND SWEET TULO
hey tulo how can I see the ball when it comes I have a problem with that and react?
try to get reps in custom practice bro, if you're still having trouble you could consider taking the inner out of PCI to see ball better
@@tulo7244 Thank you bro I going to try it
Does anyone know how to get the old PCI from like mlb the show 18? I remember it was like a white box
Try to expand on it and I could help you for sure, what you mean exactly
Would using these high speed pitches make you swing early in game?
Yes but Early is better than being late. Easier adjustment
Hey tulo I got a PS4 so should I get mlb 21 on ps4 or get it in ps5
Get MLB 21 on PS5. That’s what I would recommend at least!
Tulo, which hitting difficulty did you have it on for this video?
Legend
Sweet tulo!
What diamond you want to line up on the ball when you hit it?
Top one
When you sit low with your pci do you ever feel like you can’t or struggle to get to high pitches?
Nah cuz once you get reps on these pitch speeds you can turn on high pitches
What is your pci
how do you screen record your hitting like this? i wanna be able to film my games
Take a video clip bro!
Haven’t played this game since the Xbox 360 and now they added it on Xbox again but I’m struggling to score rn, keep on getting horrible hits
Use the power swing for more hits. If you make contact there’s a higher chance at getting hits,doubles, HR’s etc than with contact or normal swing.
Should I normal swing every time?
X always yup
time to get cracked
bro I can hit the ball really well on practice on legend but when I play the game I'm late it feels deleayed do you know why that is?
That's weird. You play practice w sliders on bro?
I started off the season 9 and 1. Would you say that's pretty good. I spent the first 40 hrs of playing just grinding showdown so I have an 87 overall team lmao
Good start yeah bro. Keep it up
My only problem is I’m im late on every pitch
You sound like you would make a good hitting coach in real life too lol😈
👀
Are you using strike zone high hitting camera?
Nah just normal strike zone
Does the sliders affect gameplay in DD?
Nope
Do the three dots mean anything on the pci 1 is bigger than the other dots?
I'm pretty sure, the top dot PCI gets perfect perfect fly ball, middle is perfect perfect line drive, bottom is perfect perfect grounder
@@tulo7244 what if the biggest dot is in the middle does that mean perfect line drive since it’s the second dot or since it’s the biggest it’s a perfect fly up?
Tulo i literally cant stop dropping my pci feel so ass bro i get good timings but i just cant stop dropping my pci
Did you try my minimal movemnt strategy bro
When do I swing
Tulooooooooooooo!
So what if your opponent figures it out and starts to throw you tons of inside fastballs? You move your pci to inside?
Also sit on that inside fastball, react to offspeed. Minimal movements will help a lot. And being on that inside fastball will prevent from getting jammed
Be patient, i know its hard af lmao but for like the first 2 innings just take pitches and pick up on their pattern. Im 30-5 in ranked seasons and you just honestly get better as you go because you have to adapt. But, like i said i take a lot more pitches for the first 2 inning to try and get on their pattern
@@itsmedababy3883 Tried that too, but their pattern changes once they found I figured them out. Then it's another two innings to find the new pattern again. Better players change patterns constantly so I could never find any pattern.
@@K76154 no matter how much they try to change, they always end up going back to the same pattern at some point
You are the 'batting box' whisperer...🙏🏾
🙏🏻😂
I’m gonna need to see matchup with Kyle lol
Do you always sit fastball and react?
Yessir
Is 11-3 in ranked season good right now?
Yessir!
With high fast balls, what tips can I use
That comes with reps bro, gotta be able to jump on it
go into practice and set the pitcher to throw high fastballs and practice different scenarios like sit up then start middle etc
I don’t understand what shirt to the ball means
Short to the ball basically means move your pci a short distance, if you're still far from ball, take it. It's probably not a good pitch anyway
What kind of monitor do u use?
Acer!
What is your transparency for your pci?
70% bro
@@tulo7244 thx man
How do people pcis move I do t like the strike box moving one
What you mean by that bro?
@@tulo7244 i got it i was very confused but i figured it out no worrys
Dawg you a fucking life saver , been hitting the fucking ball way more easier now! And actually seeing the ball better .
Yessirrrr so happy to hear that bro!! HMU if you need any other help for sure!
R u supposed to hold x or tap it
Hold for a very short amount of time

Do you use control freaks
Nope
I really want to like this game but I simply can't hit the ball. Only playing my RTTS player but he sucks.
Try to put in that work in custom practice bro✊🏼
can we get a settings video?
Yessir. Soon
I mean, his hitting settings aren’t really hard to figure out lol. Strike zone high, Circles, wedge, yellow, and I’m guessing 60%
Does anyone know why my pci is smaller than my opponent is my settings wrong
The PCI feedback for opponents is bugged rn bro. Happens to me on legend
So is not bigger or is it they same size
Because my buddy says his is they same size as his opponent
So do you think they will fix it
What is "short to the ball" lol?
ah got it. So just move the PCI super slightly. Are you on Kontrol Freaks? Where do you place your thumb? Also, any tips on where your eyes are? Do you look at the pitches release point? Some of the balls I watch are so hard to determine.

Lmao😂. I feel honored 💪
First
I kinda just think I’ll just wait at a spot until they throw it
I say look for an area of the zone yeah
@@tulo7244 sit up and in a bit, wait for a fast ball up in the zone , if they throw an offspeed adjust to the ball and crush it unless you need to slam the pci down.
See I feel like I am always too far over or beyond
What do you mean by that? Like you overdo your PCI? Happy to help
@@tulo7244 once you get to two strikes, is that when you recommend being a little more aggressive at swinging at pitches?
@@tulo7244 especially if they are close? I can’t play on strike zone either, personally play better on strike zone 2. I struggle that far in.
@@tulo7244 I will move it the opposite way of a breaking ball to meet it before it breaks even if after I’m like I knew it was not going to be there. Or I will move it way to far up or down and not go diagonal

Minimum movement but he moves the crap out of the pci 🤣
