Launch day for games like *MLB The Show 25* can be quite hectic, with players eagerly diving into all the new features. However, it's not uncommon for bugs to emerge, and one such issue currently affecting the game is the "Base hit to right field" bug. Let's explore what this bug is and how you can address it.
What Is the 'Base Hit to Right Field' Bug in MLB The Show 25?
Even before the official launch of *MLB The Show 25*, players noticed a peculiar issue at the plate. No matter where the ball actually lands, the game's commentator, Boog Sciambi, consistently announces, "Swing and a ground ball. Base hit to right field." This can be confusing, especially when the ball 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's a significant bug because it can mislead players into making incorrect strategic decisions, such as sending a runner home, thinking the ball will sneak through. Fortunately, there are ways to mitigate this issue.

How To Fix the 'Base Hit to Right Field' Bug in MLB The Show 25
The simplest solution to bypass the "Base hit to right field" bug is to mute the commentators. You can do this by navigating to the game's settings and sliding the "Commentary Volume" to zero. This prevents Boog Sciambi from making the incorrect call. However, be aware that turning off the commentary might affect your in-game experience, as the sounds of the bat and other audio cues are important for gauging the game's flow.
As of now, San Diego Studio hasn't officially addressed this bug, so it's unclear whether a permanent fix is forthcoming. Given that it's launch week for *MLB The Show 25*, it's understandable that the developers are still working to polish the game.
That's how you can temporarily resolve the "Base hit to right field" bug in *MLB The Show 25*. For more tips, check out whether you should go to college or go pro in this year's Road to the Show.
