Learn to Recognize Pitches

Pay attention to the types of pitches thrown at you, so you can identify it the instant it comes off of a pitcher's fingertips. To make this easier you can press the right trigger of your controller when you are at the plate to see a full list of what pitches the pitcher has in their repertoire. You can also press the right trigger of your controller after a pitch is thrown to see where it landed in the zone and what type it was. Once you reach the point where you are able to recognize pitches and where they are likely to be thrown you will know when your best opportunity will be to strike. The type of pitch you need to keep an eye out for are fastballs that are heading to a certain part of the zone you are focussing on. When this occurs you need to take advantage of the situation and hit it out of the ballpark with your power swing.
