I use Show 16 too.

One further thing with guess pitch and looking for a pitch to the zone.

If I "guess pitch" to a zone (say straight down) ... I'll then look for the pitch in another part of the strike zone (say up) so that I'm imporving my odds of getting the pitch either where Im looking or where I've selected "guess pitch." Especially effective way to cover the plate with two strikes.

Hitting is always harder in The Show than it used to be on old baseball titles and I honestly love it. I play with Armor and Swords sliders and when I get a bit hit/HR I feel like I really did something. I strongly recommend them and the Zoom camera. If an old fart like me can do it I'm sure you younger guys with better reflexes can too : )

alls good here though I kinda enjoy the struggle over those first 2 months rather than coming on like gangbusters out the gate.

Using strike zone is a game changer for me. Went from Vet/All-Star difficulty to
Hall of Fame+ by switching cameras.

Something I've noticed over the years with The Show is... you're really only battling yourself, especially with the difficulty.
If the pitcher gives you something to hit, hit it, if not, take it but it's all better said than done.

The hitting is entirely about patience, pitch recognition and timing.(and a little bit of luck).

The two most things that improved my hitting was getting a gaming monitor and turning guess pitch off. I went from Rookie/Pro hitter to Allstar/Allstar+ hitter using dynamic.

With difficulty, I wish you could select the whole "Veteran Plus" from the difficulty selection. I like in-between levels, don't know why they don't allow it.
