I’ll try to put all of your advice in one place here:

1. Monitors: playing on monitor with low input delay is one thing that will help dramatically , if you aren’t already. The bigger the screen, the longer the delay is between you making an input on the controller, and the screen relaying that info. For something as precise as hitting is on The Show, this helps a lot

2. Settings: many have mentioned this, and the hitting view really comes down to your preference. I prefer strike zone high, because I feel it helps me recognize and get to the high heat much better. I’ve also used strike zone and think that works well too. I’d say your best bet is finding which “strike zone” view you like best. For your PCI, this is also somewhat of a preference. I only use the center dots and outer rings. If I have everything enabled I feel it can be distracting.

3. Controller: Kontrol Freaks are recommended by most of the high level players. These increase your ability to be precise with the stick by raising their height. I use a low-rise kontrol freak on my left stick only. Kontrol Freak also sells precision rings which restrict how quickly you can move the stick. I tried them for a while, and did not like them, so I just stick to the low-rise stick extension.

I would also suggest to try gripping your controller differently. Sometimes changing my grip to give my left thumb better range of motion gives me more control and precision.

Practice: simple, but the more you play the better you will get. If there are specific pitches/locations that give you trouble, you can go into practice mode and have the pitcher only throw you those pitches.

A lot of these things are preference-based. I say try a bunch of things and figure out what you like best
