    Pitching I've gotten down pretty well. My problem is hitting. When I do hit it's mostly singles, and some pitchers I just can't hit at all. Any tips?

    I got a lot better at hitting when I decided to stop using the "Guess the Pitch" feature.  If I guessed wrong I would lay off balls in the zone and when I guessed correctly, I would miss because the ball would be off the plate in the direction of where I guessed. 

    I really struggled with the hitting at first but just take a deep breath and wait back on pitches as long as you possible can.

    Also, Joe Maure in the HR derby? Go twins... but damn I never expected that in a million years.

    Thats the same exact problem I have, the "guess the pitch." feature like you said.  I'll try not using it.

    It seemed I only did well when a closer came in, or someone with 3 pitches and I just guessed a fastball and got hits off of it.
