For gamers eager to gain an edge in *MLB The Show 25*, San Diego Studio has introduced a game-changing feature: Ambush Hitting. This mechanic offers a strategic advantage for batters looking to outsmart their opponents. Here’s a detailed guide on how to master Ambush Hitting in *MLB The Show 25*.
Ambush Hitting is a pivotal feature available in every at-bat within *MLB The Show 25*. Essentially, it allows hitters to predict which side of the plate the next pitch will target. If the prediction is correct, the Plate Coverage Indicator (PCI) expands, and the timing window improves, giving players more room for error against challenging pitchers, particularly those who favor one side of the plate. However, using this feature at the wrong moment can backfire.

The controls for Ambush Hitting are conveniently displayed at the bottom of the screen during an at-bat. To use this feature, players can move the right stick to the left for the left side of the plate or to the right for the right side. The selected side will then turn gray, visually indicating the area of the plate covered by the Ambush. Even if the pitch lands outside the Ambush zone, players can still swing or take the pitch; they just won't benefit from the Ambush bonus.
While it might be tempting to use Ambush Hitting on every pitch, the unpredictable nature of pitchers in *MLB The Show 25* demands a more strategic approach. The best strategy is to observe the opponent's pitching patterns. By identifying a sequence, players can develop an attack plan that leverages Ambush Hitting effectively. Though this tactic won't succeed every time and might lead to some frustrating outs, it could be the crucial difference between victory and defeat.
And that's how to utilize Ambush Hitting in *MLB The Show 25*. For those looking to further enhance their gameplay, consider exploring whether to pursue college or go pro in this year's Road to the Show mode.
*MLB The Show 25 is now available in Early Access on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.*
