When you get up to bat in MLB The Show 22, you want to make sure you're ready for anything. When playing on higher difficulties, especially, you can expect that it's not going to be all that easy to hit a small ball coming at you at autobahn speeds. But while nothing but practice is going to perfect your swing, the game does offer you an opportunity to make life just a tiny bit easier with its Guess Pitch feature. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to enable and disable Guess Pitch, as well as how to use its various types.

How to use Guess Pitch

Hold R2 / RT during the wind-up to bring up a list of pitches in the pitcher's repertoire.. You'll see corresponding buttons beside each pitch, and pressing one of those buttons on your controller will select that pitch as your guess.

When trying to guess what pitch is coming your way, consider both the context of the game and the preference of your opponent. This can be tricky when facing other players in PvP, as they're not really bound by any real-world logic. If they want to throw sliders for an entire game, they can, whereas the CPU will more likely use pitches that make sense based on its internal logic.
