eld.gg MLB The Show 25 Stubs: Swinging way too early/late

[Kongyawen]

Using Adaptability to Predict
Once you’ve seen enough pitches, you can predict certain tendencies and MLB The Show 25 Stubs pre-adjust your timing.

Example:

Opponent always throws a changeup after a high fastball → sit slower timing after you see the heater.

Opponent uses inside fastballs when ahead 0–2 → pre-load earlier in those counts.

This isn’t guessing — it’s anticipatory adaptation based on observed patterns.

10. Common Timing and Adaptability Mistakes
Locking into One Timing: Works vs. CPUs, fails badly vs. humans.

Overcompensating: Swinging way too early/late when trying to adjust.

Not Practicing Offspeed: If you only train against fastballs, real games will expose you.

Ignoring Location: Timing isn’t just about speed — inside/outside makes a huge difference.

Playing Tilted: Frustration tightens muscles and slows reaction time, making adjustments harder.

11. Integrating Timing and Adaptability
At the plate, here’s the sequence elite players run through in milliseconds:

Baseline Load: Default fastball-ready timing.

Early Read: Out of the hand, judge potential speed and location.

Micro-Adjust: Slightly earlier or later load depending on cheap MLB Stubs read.

Commit or Check: Swing if read is confirmed; hold if not.
