Players seeking an edge at the plate in MLB The Show 25 can leverage a powerful tool from San Diego Studio. Here’s how to effectively use Ambush Hitting in MLB The Show 25.
What Is Ambush Hitting in MLB The Show 25?
Ambush Hitting is a key feature available during every at-bat in MLB The Show 25. It allows batters to predict which side of the plate the next pitch will target. A correct guess enlarges the Plate Coverage Indicator (PCI) and widens the timing window, offering a significant advantage against challenging pitchers who favor one side of the plate. However, using it at the wrong moment can be risky.

How To Use Ambush Hitting in MLB The Show 25
During an at-bat in MLB The Show 25, Ambush Hitting controls are displayed at the bottom of the screen. Players can tilt the right stick left to cover the left side of the plate or right for the opposite side. The selected area turns gray, showing the covered portion of the plate. If the pitch lands outside this zone, players can still swing or take it, but they won’t benefit from the Ambush bonus.
While Ambush Hitting may seem like a go-to strategy for every pitch, opponents in MLB The Show 25 can be unpredictable, much like real pitchers. The best approach is to study the opponent’s pitching patterns. By identifying tendencies, players can strategically deploy Ambush Hitting to gain an edge. While it’s not foolproof and may lead to some frustrating outs, this feature can be a game-changer in tight matches.
