Launch day for any game is a thrilling yet challenging time, with eager players diving in to explore every feature. Unfortunately, *MLB The Show 25* has encountered a peculiar issue known as the “Base hit to right field” bug. Here’s a detailed guide on understanding and resolving this glitch.
Even before *MLB The Show 25* hit the shelves, keen players spotted a recurring issue. Whenever they stepped up to bat, no matter where the ball landed, the game's commentator, Boog Sciambi, would announce, “Swing and a ground ball. Base hit to right field.” This can be particularly disorienting when the ball actually goes to left field or sails out of the park.
Clearly, this isn’t what San Diego Studio intended; the commentary should accurately reflect the on-field action. The bug can be problematic, as players might mistakenly send runners home, thinking the ball is headed for a gap, only to find a defender waiting to make a play. Luckily, there are ways to address this issue.

The simplest solution to bypass the bug is to mute the commentators by sliding the “Commentary Volume” down to zero in the game’s settings. This prevents Boog Sciambi from making the incorrect call. However, this workaround has its drawbacks, as the sounds of the bat and other auditory cues contribute to the immersive experience of the game. Hopefully, this bug will be a temporary nuisance, allowing players to enjoy the full audio experience soon.
As of now, San Diego Studio hasn't officially commented on 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 that the developers are focused on fine-tuning the game. Players are encouraged to stay patient and keep an eye out for updates.
