As you make your way around the diamond, you’ll find yourself getting a lot of help from the in-game tutorials. However, there are a few little things that they don’t explain, such as how to slide, and even how to jump to catch a ball that is near the wall. Thankfully, it’s a very simple process and can save a lot of frustration when it comes to making a big play that could turn the pace of the game in your favor.

To jump up the wall, or make a dive for the ball, all you’ll need to do is press the R2/LT/ZR button on your system of choice. That’s all there is to it when it comes to making these big showtime plays, and can save your bacon if it’s the final inning of the game.

To make sure that you are sliding into the base, you’ll need to press the L1/LB/L button on your system of choice. If you are playing modes like Road to the Show or have a Player Lock on, you’ll need to manually initiate the slide, otherwise, your computer-controlled allies will do this on their own.

While the control system is simple to use and hard to master, you can always give yourself a refresher in the Game Controls section, where you’ll get a detailed rundown of everything you’ll be able to do with your controller.

MLB The Show 22 is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
