Launch day for *MLB The Show 25* has brought excitement and challenges as players dive into the game's features. One particular issue that's cropped up is the "Base hit to right field" bug. Here's a comprehensive guide on what this bug is and how to fix it.
What Is the ‘Base Hit to Right Field’ Bug in MLB The Show 25?
Even before *MLB The Show 25* hit the shelves, players reported a strange occurrence at the plate. No matter where the ball lands, commentator Boog Sciambi consistently narrates, “Swing and a ground ball. Base hit to right field.” This can be particularly disorienting when the ball actually goes to left field or even out of the park.
This bug disrupts the intended experience, as the commentary should accurately reflect the on-field action. The issue can lead to misjudgments in gameplay, such as sending a runner home thinking the ball will sneak through, only to find a defender ready to make a play. Thankfully, there are steps you can take to mitigate this problem.

How To Fix the ‘Base Hit to Right Field’ Bug in MLB The Show 25
The most straightforward solution to bypass the "Base hit to right field" bug is to mute the commentators. You can do this by adjusting the “Commentary Volume” slider to zero in the game’s settings menu. While this silences Boog Sciambi's incorrect calls, it also means you'll miss out on the immersive sounds of the game, like the crack of the bat, which can be crucial for gauging the game's atmosphere and dynamics.
As of now, San Diego Studio has not officially addressed this bug, leaving uncertainty about a permanent fix. Given that it's launch week for *MLB The Show 25*, the developers are likely focused on stabilizing the game. Players are hopeful that a solution will be forthcoming, allowing them to enjoy the full audio experience soon.
And that's how you can manage the "Base hit to right field" bug in *MLB The Show 25*. For further guidance, consider whether to choose college or go pro in this year's Road to the Show mode.
