How to master Ambush Hitting in MLB The Show 25
Ambush Hitting is one of the new concepts in MLB The Show 25, and mastering it can be extremely rewarding when you're at bat in any game mode. The new technique works on the skill of anticipating what the pitcher is going to do and increasing your chances of landing a successful hit. If you can land a correct prediction, your chances of hitting the ball will go up, which in turn will raise the chances of Home Run. This guide will help you to understand the basics and how the concept works in MLB The Show 25. How does Ambush Hitting work in MLB The Show 25 Ambush Hitting is available at every at bat in the game, and it applies to all game modes. The job is simple: you try to guess the side of the incoming pitch before it's delivered. For every at bat, you'll choose whether the pitch is going to come towards the left side or the right. If you manage to guess correctly, the Plate Coverage Indicator, or the PCI, will be bigger, and the timing window will also improve. If you guess it wrong, the reverse will happen, and your PCI and timing window will worsen, making it harder for you to hit the ball. Do note that you can still hit a ball after picking the wrong side before the pitch gets delivered.

The selected side will be highlighted in grey, making it easier for you to remember your choice. If you want to reset your choice, press RS. Mastering Ambush Hitting is all about when you're using it, as the controls are straightforward. Here's how I use it while playing the game. If you're one strike away from being given out, it's best not to be brave. Trying to guess when you're already struggling to hit the ball isn't going to make your life any easier. If anything, you will end up with your chance of getting struck out. I also avoid using it when my hitter is significantly better in terms of stats. Such a hitter will already have a decent chance of hitting the ball, so Ambush Hitting again becomes too risky to my liking. The best time to use the technique is when the pitcher has already delivered two Balls and you're yet to get a single Strike. I personally avoid using the method of playing against a human opponent because AI is easier to predict. They will usually try to follow a set pattern when it comes to pitch direction, so guesswork works better. Ultimately, Ambush Hitting is all about predicting what the pitcher is going to do. If you're learning the game, it's better to focus more on the basics and make sure that you get the hitting settings correct, as that will increase your chances of success in the long run.
