How to Change Pitches in MLB The Show 21

MLB The Show 21 players are interested in how to change pitches in-game.

There are several advantages to changing pitching styles during a match. Much like in real life, having a varied arsenal of pitches at a player's disposal can easily be utilized to throw the opponent off their game. It can be difficult to hit a home run off a curveball when you were expecting a fastball, after all. Fortunately, customizing pitches is one of the easier aspects of playing the game.

Here's how to do it.

How to Change Pitches in MLB The Show 21

Pitches must be chosen before entering the match. Players will either be approached by or need to seek out their coach in order to do this. This can be done in Road to the Show once the player is out of the minor leagues. Their coach will discuss their typical set of pitches to them, which the player can either confirm or deny.

If denied, they'll be taken to the Focus Training screen where they should be able to change out their pitches. This is as easy as selecting and swapping already learned maneuvers or simply learning new ones to replace the default set: curveball, fastball, and change up.

Additionally, for those looking for a simple pitch change on the mound, players can press L1 after selecting a pitch pre-emptively. That will take the pitcher off the mound allowing them to choose a different pitch.

MLB The Show 21 is currently available for Xbox One, Series S/X, and PlayStation 4/5.
