Re: Vison/contact
Personally, I would say don't worry too much about following that guide. For example, I don't think it's necessary to have radically different approaches depending on the type of batter you're using. Especially as a new player, it's making things more complicated. The most important things to being successful hitting in this game are pitch recognition and timing. Forget about using contact or power swings of where you should be influencing based on the count: if you consistently time swings well on good pitches to hit, you'll see results. Homers will come if you're doing this.
I would suggest that find an approach that works for you as a player and stick to that. Again, don't worry I would also say to you what I always say to new players: Take A LOT of pitches. For one, even on higher difficulties, the CPU typically throws a lot of balls. By simply not swinging, you'll often find yourself in a good count. Secondly, this will get your eyes used to picking up the pitches and their timing.
I would echo the thought about not worrying about strikeouts. Once you develop your ability to recognize pitches, you will naturally strike out less. But getting to that point might mean striking out more because you're getting late into counts on purpose.
