    After testing this awhile with various difficulties, players and pitching setups the easiest I got this is while playing Retro mode in less than 10 minutes.

    I uploaded the sliders for this so that you can download from the vault if you don't want to do it manually.
    Click on the create icon on the main menu, then vaults.
    Press cn_X to search then type in PitchcollectorTA and search again.
    Press cn_RB to go to sliders tab and download it(should be the only one with my GT).
    Now back on main menu go to settings>file management>load>sliders and load the sliders you saved.


    To do sliders manually:
    On the main menu top right corner click on settings>settings>gameplay>change hitting difficulty to beginner then cn_LB to general settings and change gameplay to casual. Also, make sure you turn off dynamic difficulty.

    Now go back and click on sliders instead of settings. You want to adjust these all the way to the left:
    Human timing
    Human solid hits
    CPU pitcher control
    CPU strike frequency
    CPU pitcher consistency
    All pitch speeds

    Now these all the way to the right:
    Human foul frequency
    Human Contact
    Wind

    Game mode
    Go intro Retro mode and have your team as away so you can bat first. Only thing that matters is you have hitters with good contact(most teams have this) and an opposing pitcher who's main pitch is a 4 seam fastball or curve.
    So I choose Dodgers since a few of their hitters have the 20/20 perk which means they rarely miss a ball while swinging early or late plus they have good contact.
    Alot of people in the comments are having more success with Corey Seager on the Dodgers for this so you can adjust lineup to have him batting first before starting the game.

    In Retro mode you simply press cn_A to pitch or hit. Do not swing while at bat, let the CPU pitch. If you're lucky, it'll end up at 3-2 count and you just need to foul off 5 balls. If you happen to get 2 strikes before a 3-2 count, try swinging late or early at pitches inside(close to the batter) and hitting foul balls. It may take a little to get used to timing for a foul ball but the game moves fast. Unfortunately, you can't change the camera angles in this mode.

    RedSox25964I've been trying to do this for an hour and I can't even make contact with a single pitch.

    Zashule 1765Biggest issue I have with this setup: For some reason after 7-8 fouls, the pitcher seems to always hit me with the ball and force a walk. I have no idea why this keeps happening.

    FurnitureCarSomeone please thoroughly explain when to swing, can’t get more than 2 fouls if i’m lucky.

    UGotta Check ItA tip if you are boosting this with someone. Aim the opposite up corner. So a right handed batter is aiming to the top right corner (right field). This plus you getting the timing down on a late swing will help you foul off more consistently. It took some timing and about 10 attempts, but once you get it down, it becomes pretty easy with a partner

    AleranI was trying to get this achievement but was failing miserably. Then I realized my batting difficulty was on All-Star! I changed it to Rookie and got it on my first try. So, double check your batting difficulty setting.
