Bro, hitting's hard cuz it's supposed to simulate real-life baseball. Try practicing in the batting cages mode—worked for me!
Hot take: Maybe it's because you're just not that good. Keep practicing!
As someone who struggled with it too, I'd say it's about getting used to the pitch speeds and types. Play around with the difficulty settings, and you’ll get the hang of it.
