Launch day for games can be challenging, especially when countless players dive in to explore all the features. Unfortunately, *MLB The Show 25* is currently facing a bug known as the "Base hit to right field" issue. Here's a detailed guide on how to fix this bug and keep enjoying your game.
Even before *MLB The Show 25* officially launched, players noticed 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 discrepancy can be confusing and misleading, particularly when the ball actually goes to left field or even out of the park.
This bug disrupts the intended synchronization between gameplay and commentary, which is crucial for an immersive experience. It can lead to strategic errors, such as sending a runner home prematurely, thinking the ball will sneak through when a defender is ready to make a play. Fortunately, there are ways to address this issue effectively.

The simplest solution to bypass the "Base hit to right field" bug is to mute the commentators. You can do this by lowering the "Commentary Volume" slider to zero in the game’s settings. This prevents Boog Sciambi from making the incorrect call. However, this fix has its drawbacks, as the sounds of the bat and other in-game noises contribute significantly to the overall gaming experience. Hopefully, this workaround will only be temporary, and players can soon enjoy the game with commentary turned back on.
As of now, San Diego Studio has not officially addressed this bug, so there's no confirmation on a permanent fix. Given that it's *MLB The Show 25*'s launch week, the developers deserve some patience as they work to optimize their latest baseball title.
And that’s how to manage the "Base hit to right field" bug in *MLB The Show 25*. For more tips, check out our advice on whether to go to college or go pro in this year's Road to the Show.
