Launch day for games is often a thrilling yet challenging time, with a surge of players eager to explore every feature. It's not uncommon for bugs to emerge, and *MLB The Show 25* is currently experiencing one such issue—the "Base hit to right field" bug. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to address this bug and continue enjoying the game.
What Is the 'Base Hit to Right Field' Bug in MLB The Show 25?
Even before *MLB The Show 25* hit the shelves, players encountered a peculiar issue. When at bat, no matter where the ball landed, the game's commentator Boog Sciambi would consistently say, "Swing and a ground ball. Base hit to right field." This can be particularly confusing, especially when the ball actually goes to left field or even out of the park.
This mismatch between the commentary and the on-field action is certainly not what San Diego Studio intended. The bug can lead to strategic misjudgments, such as sending a runner home thinking a ball will sneak through, only to find the defender ready to make a play. Thankfully, there are ways to address this issue.

How To Fix the 'Base Hit to Right Field' Bug in MLB The Show 25
The simplest solution to this bug is to mute the commentators by adjusting the “Commentary Volume” slider to zero in the game’s settings menu. This prevents Boog Sciambi from making the incorrect call. However, this workaround comes with a trade-off, as the ambient sounds and the crack of the bat can enhance the immersive experience of the game. Hopefully, this bug will be short-lived, allowing players to enjoy the commentary once again soon.
As of now, San Diego Studio has not yet publicly addressed the "Base hit to right field" bug, leaving uncertainty about a permanent fix. Given that it's launch week for *MLB The Show 25*, it's understandable to give the developers some time to fine-tune their latest baseball simulation.
