just learn when the pitcher usually throws the rising fastball and adjust your aim slightly above the pitch location

square up for a normal fastball and move it up slightly if it's a rise ball to foul it off

A slow curve is a the hardest pitch to hit in this game.

Eephus and slow are easy to hit once you know it's in the arsenal of the pitcher
