How To Fix the ‘Base Hit To Right Field’ Bug in MLB The Show 25

Launch day jitters are common for new games, and MLB The Show 25 is no exception. A particularly quirky bug has players scratching their heads: the persistent "Base hit to right field" commentary, regardless of where the ball actually lands.

Even before launch, players reported this odd commentary glitch. Whether the ball sails into left field, clears the fence, or drops harmlessly short, commentator Boog Sciambi consistently announces, "Swing and a ground ball. Base hit to right field." This discrepancy can be incredibly confusing, potentially leading players to make poor strategic decisions on the basepaths, assuming a hit when the defense might actually be in position to make a play.

The simplest solution? Mute the commentary. Navigate to the game's settings and adjust the "Commentary Volume" slider to zero. While this eliminates the inaccurate calls, it also removes the atmospheric sounds and other audio cues that enhance immersion.

Unfortunately, San Diego Studio hasn't yet acknowledged or addressed this bug, so a permanent fix remains uncertain. Given it's early days for MLB The Show 25, we can expect the developers to prioritize patching this issue soon.
