PCI placement

[prnharlem130st]

So being new to Zone hitting I had a quick question. The way I've been hitting is by starting the PCI in the lower outside corner. I've heard of people start the at bat by aiming higher in the zone. Just curious what method you guys use for where you aim the PCI BEFORE the pitcher throws the ball? Thanks!

I play RTTS with zone hitting. I personally can't track the pitch coming in like you see in videos regarding zone hitting. What I do is see what the situation calls for the pitcher to do and then have the PCI where I expect the pitch to be. For example, in a double play situation I expect low pitches to try to get me to hit a ground ball, so I have the PCI low before the pitch comes in.

I normally just leave it centered and react. Probably not the best, but I haven't had much trouble. One problem I have is if there's a pitch right down the middle, for some reason I want to pull the PCI down.

I have that same problem. Drives me crazy.

I usually tend to start the PCI high. That way I dont have to move it if the pitch is a high fastball. It's much easier to flick the stick down and react if the pitch is low in my opinion. And a lot of low stuff will be breaking balls and offspeed too, so you have a slit second extra to react and move it down there.

If I'm playing zone I usually guess on a pitch in the upper part of the zone then move the pci to the lower half. If the pitch is up the pci automatically moves there because I guessed correctly. If it's not up then chances are it will be in the lower part where I already have the pci. Depends on the hitter though. Sometimes I just leave it centered and react

Interesting. ... I didn't know people moved it from the center before the pitch. I just leave mine in the center and then aim it towards the pitch as it comes in
