Unleash Your Inner Machado: A Guide to the Glorious Bat Flip in MLB The Show 22
Ah, the bat flip. A thing of beauty, a source of controversy, and the ultimate sign of disrespect...or pure, unadulterated joy, depending on who you ask. In MLB The Show 22, you too can join the ranks of bat-flipping legends (or villains, no judgment here). But before you go launching lumber like it owes you rent, let's break down the art of the digital bat flip.

Step 1: Earn Your Right to Flip
This ain't your grandpappy's blooper single. You gotta launch the ball, people. We're talking a majestic moonshot, a laser beam over the wall, a tater that leaves the pitcher questioning his life choices.** Think walk-off homerun, a grand slam that silences the crowd, anything that would make Joe Buck lose his mind.**

Step 2: Soak it In, Champ
You did it. You deposited the baseball in a distant zip code. Now, take a moment. Admire your handiwork. Flip your imaginary bat (practice makes perfect!). Stare down the pitcher (optional, but highly effective). This is your moment, bask in the glory!
Tip: Highlight sentences that answer your questions.
Step 3: Don't Be That Guy
There's a fine line between celebration and flat-out disrespect. Flipping your bat against a lowly AA team in April? Maybe not the best look. Save the theatrics for the big moments, and for Pete's sake, don't admire a home run you hit off the pitcher's shin. You'll get plunked next time, trust me.
Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.
