From Couch Potato to Cat-like Contender: Mastering the Dive
First things first, forget everything you know about gymnastics. Unlike the real world, where a well-timed somersault might impress your friends (and possibly terrify small children), MLB The Show 22 is all about controlled chaos. Here's the key:
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
- The Right Trigger is your Dive BFF: This isn't rocket surgery, folks. See a line drive screaming towards the outfield grass? Hold down that right trigger and witness the magic of your outfielder transforming into a human missile.
Pro Tip: Think of the buttons like the ground. The trigger is closer, so it makes your player hug the dirt...er, I mean, dive.
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
Reading the Ball: From Derp to ESP
Now, just mashing the button won't turn you into Superman. You gotta have some precognition skills (or at least decent hand-eye coordination). Here's how to become a seer of batted balls:
QuickTip: Reflect before moving to the next part.

- Watch the trajectory: Is the ball taking a nosedive towards the earth? Dive time! Is it soaring like a majestic bald eagle? Time to channel your inner acrobat (with the right bumper, not the trigger...remember?).
- The magic of "Drifting Ball": This nifty setting in the options menu shows the projected path of the ball. Activate it, become one with the baseball gods, and snag everything that comes your way.
Avoiding the Epic Dive Fail: A Cautionary Tale
We've all been there. You see the ball, you unleash your inner dolphin, and... you land five feet away while the ball rolls merrily into the gap. Don't despair! Here are some things to keep in mind:
Tip: Highlight what feels important.
- Don't dive for everything: Sometimes, a good ol' fashioned run and catch is the better option. Trust your gut, grasshopper.
- Stamina is your friend: Those epic dives are impressive, but they drain your player's energy faster than a teenager inhaling pizza. Pick your moments wisely, young grasshopper.
You've Got This, Champ!
With a little practice and these handy tips, you'll be making diving catches that would make Ken Griffey Jr. proud. Remember, it's not about brute force, it's about finesse (and the right trigger). Now get out there and snag some fly balls!
