Example:
If you notice they throw a high fastball on MLB The Show 25 Stubs almost every 0–2 count, you can sit on that pitch when you’re behind, possibly fouling it off or even turning it around.

Pro Tip: The first 2–3 innings are “data gathering time.” Don’t get discouraged if you make early outs; you’re collecting intel.

Reading Pitch Location Patterns
Human pitchers often fall into comfort zones:

Inside vs. Outside: Some avoid inside pitches out of fear of giving up homers, others live there because they think you can’t turn on it.

Up vs. Down: Some pitchers work low to induce grounders, while others love to climb the ladder.

Hot Zones Avoidance: Many players check your PCI heat map and aim for your cold zones exclusively.

What to do:

Watch where pitches are ending up, not just where they start.

If you see consistent location bias (e.g., always low and away), you can start shading your PCI there before the pitch.

Identifying Sequence Patterns
Sequence patterns are the most powerful tendencies to crack because they reveal what’s coming next.

Examples of common human sequences:

Fastball → Slider Away: Classic “hard then soft” pattern to throw off timing.

Slider Away → High Fastball: Bait a chase, then blow one by you.

Two Fastballs → Offspeed in Dirt: Set you up for a swing-and-miss.

When you catch on, you can essentially “call” the next pitch in your head.

How to Collect Tendencies Without Overthinking
You don’t have to memorize every pitch. Instead, follow a simple mental system:

First Two Innings: Focus on recognizing what pitches they like and how often.

Middle Innings: Look for repeated sequences or “go-to” locations in key counts.

Late Innings: Apply your knowledge aggressively, sitting on MLB Stubs for sale likely pitches or locations.
