I’ve never seen a video with this topic and go this in depth. Props to you. Immediately helped my game, now I’m just looking for players with early and high leg kicks!
Your videos really help me out a lot as someone who always played football growing up I only knows the basics of baseball and you clearly know baseball so I get educated while trying to get better at this game, it’s really fun and I’m not good at all. I can’t imagine how fun it is when you’re actually good at the game
I appreciate the advice. I would pay attention to the leg kick and would think the timing of the leg kick determined what pitch was coming and I ended up messing myself up mentally so I appreciate you being honest and saying this.
Great vid. I always thought most players have similar timings. Paying attention to leg kicks actually distract me but imma try to look into this more. I been warming up against the CPU on legend and be Whooping them hopefully it’s a sign I’m getting better lol
Agreed. I’m in the same boat tbh. I never could focus on leg kicks as it distracts my mind but I can see exactly what they mean. I usually focus on the shoulder (idk why) but it works for me online and against legend cpu haha. I’ll try it out maybe when TA2 comes out soon.
Coming back to this vid a few months later. Tempo is different from the leg kick even though It still goes off the leg kick. They load a bit earlier when it’s faster pitches very minuscule thing to see but very easy to see when facing someone like cease with 100 mph fb and 70 mph change up . None the less, the early leg kickers are the best for tempo, this the first year I’ve become constant 1000 rating after learning tempo and also I’ve beat a couple too 50s. Much respect to you for the info to folks bro, love the vids I know this one is old but I still come watch It form time to time
BTW -THANK YOU ! i liked and subscribed becuase just even looking at the leg kick figures out the timing for you at least if you use your brain a tiny little bit, helped me beat challenges i've been trying to beat for weeks (yeah I suck but getting better)I basically just used allt the players you mentioned and it was easy right away
My biggest issue isn't with perfect timing. It's GOOD timing. Having good timing on a pitch in the middle of the plate should at least result in a hard hit ball, but 90% of the time for me It's a lazy flyout, a weak ground ball, or even a MISS. How the hell can your timing be "good" IF YOU DONT MAKE CONTACT???
You can also start counting on ONE right when the ball comes out of the pitcher's hand (release point) and then count to TWO. So the method works as follow: 1. After counting ONE, you have to ALWAYS look at the fast ball to time his pitches. 2. Once u know the pitcher's gonna throw a fast ball, start counting to time the fastball like: ONE (RELEASE POINT).. TWO (BALL REACHED TO CATCHER'S HAND). Thats the timing for ANY fastballs (90mph and above). You're basically doing tempo but with the pitcher. 3. if the count reaches TWO before reaching to the plate then the ball is an offspeed pitch (change up, slider, etc..) Hope this tip helps everyone who are learning tempo and have to always look at the leg kick which is kinda frustrating.
@@Prnharlem130stNiceee. Ive improved this method now and Im working on a document with the leg kick of every LS player. It'll take me quite a lot of time but it'll worth the time spent.
Man I know this is a bit old especially with the new update but I've been struggling for 3 days, couldn't hit anything. I needed something to put a dent in my slump and while I know this is simple just hearing someone remind me that timing isn't just about when I think I should swing but the individual batter seems to have worked. I was on a 0-3 streak against the cpu on all star in a mini man 😭. So I thank you for your time.
For me I’ve been pretty fortunate in not getting caught up in thinking about players swing animations. It’s never really been something I’ve thought about. It’s always felt like different swing animations isn’t relevant FOR ME. I focus on ball and timing the pitch and have success that way. But I can see where if you do get caught up in the looks of different swing animations you can start too feel like different animations make a big difference when really I think all it is that animation suits your eyes better so it then feels better or “faster” or the opposite it feels “slow” and weak. So for me I’m better completely ignoring the player and his animation and focusing only on ball, my thumb pressure resting on the button during pre-pitch routines and timing the press.
I'm a freak and use analog stride 😂 i just love the immersive feeling of it. I sit around 650-750 ranked and I'm just fine with that knowing I'm sacrificing competitiveness for immersion
@@tanner6184 it's under the hitting settings. It's funny I've actually switched to button input and have made World Series twice since I made this comment 😂
@@tanner6184 I tried it but don't like how it feels. Im if I'm using the analog I'd rather have the extra skill of timing the stride and the swing. It feels the most like an actually baseball sim swing
Each batter has his own leg kick, but you can see when they’re about to put the foot down and you start your swing. If it’s a strike you’re getting good swings. It’s even showing it on the timing picture to the left.
Right when the foot lands completely. There are some players with fast leg kicks like Marcell Ozuna and Matt Olson, others have average leg kick like Mike Trout and Acuña and others have a long leg kick like Aaron Judge and Justin Turner but at the end u have to notice ans get used to his move with the peripheral vision. Im currently making an extensive list with every leg kick's LS player (spanish version). Maybe you might take a look at it in a near future
Is there a reason why you use the bar PCI? or is that just preference? I’m using altitude with the star fighter inner, simply bc I feel like it helps me with verticality for my swings
I been watching the Show videos for years and ive never heard anyone say this. That's how you know all these top players tips and tricks videos are bullshit. They'd never tell us the truth to actually help us get better 😂 So shoutout out to this guy. Earned my sub.
Negative. The leg kick will tell u whether a pitch is a FB or an offspeed pitch. The thing is that very few hitters have the same animation for both type of pitches.
assuming i’m only going for the XP and don’t care about stubs, is there a huge difference in the amount of XP you get from one conquest game vs one mini season game on veteran
My personal hack is to use 1.50 - 2.00 magnification reading glases along with the precision rings. So much easier to see the type of pitch from the release point! Thank me later.
I’m having major issues hitting. I’m starting to wonder if it’s my internet. I either hit a home run or nothing. For example with Gary Sanchez I have 7 hits. All 7 were home runs. After about 600ab’s I have 1 double. With buxton I have 2 hits in 57ab’s. If I’m offline I’m not a great hitter but i get doubles. Could it be the internet?
"Where the ball is in the zone horizontally" I feel like this is where I struggle. That and depth perception. Any suggestions?? Thanks for the great video BTW.
I’m having trouble in seeing the curve ball low. And not swinging at it. So guys just spam low ball and I can’t hit. I built up a good team and started playing ranked and that happened, so I haven’t played in days. So frustrating
I can’t use the pci. I can’t ever correctly guess where the ball is going so I have to just bat using button timing. I also have to play on rookie cuz veteran whips my ass.
I’m not an awesome MLB THE SHOW 24 player by any means but.. the Derek Jeter caption card super glitchy. Just saying, haven’t heard much about it? Kinda wondering if it just me 😂
Cheat code?! Lol!! I played college ball and played since I was 4 years old. I use the word tempo as well, but either way is fine. In my opinion, though, being a pitcher myself, look at what is closest to the pitcher release point. For me, focusing more on the logo on his hat. Some use the letters, and some use the shoulders to the right or left hander. All of these work very well within The Show. Find what you like and go with that. I look forward to more of your videos, my dude. Sorry for the novel I wrote😅
@CJ12KYT I wasn't talking about you, dude. Lol! You mentioned other people thought it was a cheat code and made it clear that it's not. I apologize. I didn't word myself properly. Hahaha! I like your channel a lot! You're very informative and actually try to help us all out, and that's really a kind thing to do. Look forward to more of them!
Thank God! A Man with intelligence. I just came from watching something called The Mighty Goat?? Good Lord, it's nice to listen to a human and not a cartoon character. I feel bad for him becuase he has to say "it's not a cheat code" several times ....why? Because society wants everything for nothing and wants it asap. Which is ridiculous now this old fart is going to take a nap.
All this is making me realize is how dumb and broken this game is 🤦🏻♂️ I shouldn’t be having to watch my batter to know when to time it. I should be having to watch the ball. A batter irl can’t watch himself swing in real time. Stupid.
Blah blah blah another commercialized ass mlbts hitting “tips” video I have not seen a single UA-camr actually get in to depth about this topic and it’s just a shame how y’all lie to people just to gate keep free information, DO BETTER!
It’s not for everybody, but it is how I hit and many other top players hit. If you doesn’t click them it probably not for you

I just got my kontrol freeks in today and it was almost an instant improvement to my accuracy of the PCI, feels weird being on the ball this often lol
They will take your game to another level! I won’t ever play without them now!
@@daryldixon3685 what kind did you buy
They're good around the zone, but not great on balls out of the zone.
is it thr ones that stick out? or the rings
Which ones are they
I'm new to the game this year. Your last 2 videos helped me get on what I should be paying attention to.
Piazza actually has a great swing finally. He's been my favorite catcher by far
Gets gassed on legend but lower difficulties I don’t mind it
I appreciate the advice. I would pay attention to the leg kick and would think the timing of the leg kick determined what pitch was coming and I ended up messing myself up mentally so I appreciate you being honest and saying this.
Depends on exactly what batter you’re using but yeah not a “cheat code”
Not even gassing you up,,, This is so helpful. The strike zone cam and the leg kick tip is huge!
Great video bro! Not many players break down this concept. Props to you for going in depth on it and helping others
Thanks for the video. Your “tempo” vid from last year really made me a better hitter!!

@@Prnharlem130st Sure!
i dont understand at all
I learned this baaaack in the day using Manny Ramirez..I realized my timing was easier to understand while learning his high leg drive

Appreciate it this video a lot man. It has helped me get a lot more hits and stay alive in counts
That also works on timing instead of using zone. It’s the leg kick you’re right on when it comes to that you get better swings.
Each batter has his own leg kick, but you can see when they’re about to put the foot down and you start your swing. If it’s a strike you’re getting good swings. It’s even showing it on the timing picture to the left.
The pitcher does shake his head yes or no when you're looking in the right direction just watch him and you'll notice it
When?
Are we meant to swing when the leg kick is complete or as its happening or at the start? I'm confused
Exactly. He talks about watching the leg kick for 20 mins but doesn’t say when during the leg kick we should start to think about swinging. Smh
Right when the foot lands completely. There are some players with fast leg kicks like Marcell Ozuna and Matt Olson, others have average leg kick like Mike Trout and Acuña and others have a long leg kick like Aaron Judge and Justin Turner but at the end u have to notice ans get used to his move with the peripheral vision.

@@thegreedy211 please let me know! thank you for this explanation.
I needed this. My timing is awful and if I win online it’s because I pitch a near shutout thanks
Count one when pitcher gathers 2 when he lifts leg and 3 when he releases the ball after that u need to know ur awareness of the type pitch
3. Leg kick
2. Ball release
1. HIT!
Is there a reason why you use the bar PCI? or is that just preference? I’m using altitude with the star fighter inner, simply bc I feel like it helps me with verticality for my swings
Do you think with these tips plus “zoom” hitting view is essential? Or is strike zone still the best?
I been watching the Show videos for years and ive never heard anyone say this.
That's how you know all these top players tips and tricks videos are bullshit.
They'd never tell us the truth to actually help us get better 😂
So shoutout out to this guy. Earned my sub.
Touche!!
Do you use kontrol freeks and precision rings? Which ones if you do. Thanks.
you said the leg kick doesn’t let you know if it’s an off speed or a fastball so did they take out tempo? or is it still in the game?
Negative. The leg kick will tell u whether a pitch is a FB or an offspeed pitch. The thing is that very few hitters have the same animation for both type of pitches.
This video is being very helpful so far👍 btw how can i use my dd team in team practice?
Question: Does it help to take into account the type of swing a batter has? Like if they're balanced, pull hitter, etc?
A lil but it’s not super significant
This is great. My biggest problem is I pull the PCI down too far and too often, so I pop it up a lot. Any tips for that?
Gotta improve pitch recognition
assuming i’m only going for the XP and don’t care about stubs, is there a huge difference in the amount of XP you get from one conquest game vs one mini season game on veteran
My personal hack is to use 1.50 - 2.00 magnification reading glases along with the precision rings. So much easier to see the type of pitch from the release point! Thank me later.
How r u using all players in the practice? Custom roster and mimicking the pitcher?
I’m having major issues hitting. I’m starting to wonder if it’s my internet. I either hit a home run or nothing. For example with Gary Sanchez I have 7 hits. All 7 were home runs.

Find a camera angle you like the best sz, sz 2, sz high are popular
lol Corey Seager has such a good swing. Don’t base it off the foot kick and his is literally top 5
thanks for these tips
I’m having trouble in seeing the curve ball low. And not swinging at it. So guys just spam low ball and I can’t hit. I built up a good team and started playing ranked and that happened, so I haven’t played in days. So frustrating
How do we load up our team in practice? Can’t seem to figure it out
You have to create the roster
I can’t use the pci. I can’t ever correctly guess where the ball is going so I have to just bat using button timing. I also have to play on rookie cuz veteran whips my ass.
Just gotta play more, but definitely practice and get used to the PCI cause you’ll never be able to win consistently with directional hitting.
@@tommyryan8631 i play every day. I cant use pci. I have watched 100 videos and nothing helps. I love baseball but this game is to hard for me.
It’s not guessing with the pci watch the brim of the pitchers cap when he pitches until it comes out of his hand and just move it where the ball goes
I’m not an awesome MLB THE SHOW 24 player by any means but.. the Derek Jeter caption card super glitchy. Just saying, haven’t heard much about it? Kinda wondering if it just me 😂
