My major weakness is striking out. I've been playing since late September, and this problem is still a killer for me. I play on an iPhone 5, so I don't have a big screen and thus not a lot of time to recognize pitches. Any suggestions? I play a lot so I'm getting practice in, but something isn't clicking.
I'm HoF level, and my W-L record (158-98) isn't bad, but strikeout vulnerability is what is holding me back.

I get in a rut sometimes where I swing at every strike no matter what, but that will usually end up bad for me. Try to let those curve***** go, unless you're in a bad count.
The advice offered by Dtrain and Amused should help you reduce your rate of strikeouts. The only thing I would add, is that each pitcher has certain tendencies, so get to know them. There are pitchers that will throw a ball most of the time with a full count, and other almost always throw a strike. Once you recognize these signs, I guarantee you will strike out less. Like Amused said, and I concur, it is sometimes just a guessing game. Luck absolutely plays a role in this game!
Sidenote: Amused, your team must be so stacked by now. I deleted the app because I was spending too much time on it, but I wish I still had it so I could beat your studly squad.
Yea Liverpool, you probably would still give me a run for my money. Good to see you on the forum. I figured you grew tired of the game and hung up your cleats. I ended up getting all the 5 star players by playing the tourney and it only costing 400 gold a player. It took a lot of time, but no more drafting. Thank God. I don't play as much either. But I won't be deleting the app. Way too much time and effort invested. Plus I'm curious to see the player rating changes in the future. Take care!!
