How do you hit Home runs in MLB 2k9?

Answer 1

On X-box 360 Move the Left Thumbstick in the direction of the pitch. If the ball is pitched on the outside half of the plate to a right handed batter move the left thumbstick up and to the right and time your swing with the right thumbstick. When you swing pull back on the right thumbstick and on the same pitch time it and move the stick up and to the right. With a player with a high power rating this will produce a home run. For a pitch on the inner half move the left thumbstick up and to the left for a right handed hitter. Then time your swing with the right thumbstick first back then up and to the left. Some hitters have more power to the opposite field. I have more success with Vlademir Balentine (seattle) going the other way. Same thing with Mark Renolyds (Arizona). Experiment with the players on your team and see if they like to go a certain way.

Answer 2

push up on the left analog stick(ps3 and 360)

Answer 3

Sadly enough, it's just luck 90% of the time. You just have to try to make the sweet spot hit the ball.

Answer 4

push up the left stick and press the button you use at the same time
