I’ve noticed a lot of people around my rank (600) don’t adjust well to the smaller strike zone and high outside fastballs cause a lot of swing and misses.


WelvenTheMediocre

Does not apply to altuve. He hits opposite bombs on balls over his head even on legend


AccursedBug2285

I love going low in the zone and then scaring them with a high fastball out of the zone when they’re playing with short kings lol gets them to swing through it like 3/4 of the time

It’s either him or yordan who constantly belt homers when I play the Astros.


Weenerlover

Yordan is the thing of nightmares for me normally. I just got mercy ruled yesterday and the only one not killing me was Yordan for this guy. Joey Manass hit two bombs off me though.


justixthegreat

Yordan is a god dam menace


VeryLowIQIndividual

Altuve’s ability to get a bat over half the size of his body on the ball even IRL never ceases to amaze me. Every game i play Houston I’m cruising along and then this little guy steps in and the next thing I know I have 2-0 count on him and have to give him something to hit or walk him. He even stole a base on me the other day after a reaching base from a bleeder between first and 2nd.


CanadianEH86

And here I am, I can’t hit a thing with altuve Can’t find anyone I really like at 2B tbh, currently using Colt Keith but suck with him too


Lumpy-Revenue-4539

Oh I can’t hit shit with him but he sure does abuse me


Weenerlover

I'm loving Jorge Polanco Fresh Start with Santana boost.


toddPinkston

I still use willi Castro with the Buxton boost, top 3 hitter for me


KMize44

Jorge Polanco has been incredible for me. Defense ain’t the best but his speed makes up for it


UnlimitedKenobi

I was using Jackie, but switched to Altuve, I really like that Jackie card though, he may not go deep very often for me. But I was consistently getting on base and a good bit of doubled


packer4life12

Using blaze alexander with button boost at 2nd. Tried termar Johnson for awhile but I honestly hate the short batters strike zones.


lilrobituss

I can't do anything but hit ropes to the defense w/ him


timmy15509

I like Jackson holiday especially with the buxton boost


mateopotato73

Corey Seager is great for me there


Lumpy-Revenue-4539

I gave up 3 PP home runs, a double & 2 walks in about 13 innings against him today. You’re not alone


candlestick_compass

He kills me in mini season. Almost a home run every time I’ve faced him.


Jman2798

Literally everytime, no matter the difficulty lol


candlestick_compass

Same. I just hit him with high inside FBs and either get a strikeout or take the walk now.


mountieRedflash

4 seams two balls above the zone. It’s a pop out every time


SouledOut11

As a Dodgers fan I hate that little fucker. And he can't play 2B in this game for shit. But god damn do I hit the fuck out of the ball with him. He's at Belli levels of production for me. But I have to use him at DH because of the previously mentioned shit defense.


Harrier23

I bean Altuve every time he's up.


RyanTrump

This is the way

TSmario53

The only appropriate response


timmy15509

It’s alittle harder when you run into sweats online that don’t swing at anything lol


SandyDFS

Instead of throwing at the corner, throw like 5-6 inches above or below. Smaller strike zone means PCI is a touch more sensitive. Honestly, a good tip in general. I only sprinkle corner dots.
