Launch day for games like *MLB The Show 25* can be a thrilling yet challenging time, with a surge of players eager to explore every feature. Unfortunately, this excitement can sometimes be marred by bugs, such as the "Base hit to right field" issue currently affecting the game. Here's a detailed guide on how to address this bug and keep your gameplay smooth.

What Is the 'Base Hit to Right Field' Bug in MLB The Show 25?

Even before *MLB The Show 25* hit the shelves, players encountered a peculiar issue at the plate. No matter where the ball landed, the game's commentator, Boog Sciambi, would consistently announce, "Swing and a ground ball. Base hit to right field." This can be quite disorienting, especially when the ball actually goes to left field or even out of the park.

This mismatch between the commentary and the on-field action is not what San Diego Studio intended. It can lead to strategic missteps, like sending a runner home under the false assumption that the ball is safely in right field. Thankfully, there are ways to mitigate this problem.

How To Fix the 'Base Hit to Right Field' Bug in MLB The Show 25

The most straightforward solution to bypass the "Base hit to right field" bug is to mute the commentators. Navigate to the game's settings and slide the "Commentary Volume" to zero. This prevents Boog Sciambi from making the incorrect call. However, this fix comes with a trade-off, as the ambient sounds like the crack of the bat can enhance the gaming experience. Hopefully, this bug will be resolved soon, allowing players to enjoy the full audio experience once again.

As of now, San Diego Studio has not officially addressed this bug, leaving players uncertain about a permanent fix. Given that it's launch week for *MLB The Show 25*, it's understandable that the developers are focused on ensuring the game runs smoothly across all platforms.

That's how you can manage the "Base hit to right field" bug in *MLB The Show 25*. For more tips, check out whether you should opt for college or go pro in this year's Road to the Show mode.
