In MLB The show 25, in addition to the overall rating, the way to understand a player’s strength is to observe each of their attributes. This is a more advanced way to select players, which allows you to build a team with the best coordination at the lowest cost, thus saving you stubs.

Players in MLB The show 25 are not as easy to understand as players in FIFA. Each player in MLB 25 has more than a dozen attributes. These attributes are definitely important attributes for various baseball players, while some are not important. So when you select a player, which attributes should you focus on?

The attributes of players in the game will affect their batting, defense, and base running. All attributes are important. Here are all 17 attributes:

• Contact Right-Handed Pitcher

• Vision
• Discipline
• Clutch
• Bunt
• Drag Bunt

• Arm
• Accuracy

• Baserunning Aggressiveness

For a batsman, the following 8 attributes are the most important and can determine your player’s performance in a game.

Rank 1 Contact

The Ambush batting mechanic makes Contact particularly important in MLB 25. This is related to whether your player has a good batting average. As long as the player can frequently find the right time to hit the baseball, your team has a good chance of getting on base. If you want to recruit a free hitter to join your team, you can first look at his Contact attribute. If his attribute is high enough, you can sign him with MLB The Show 25 Stubs.

Rank 2 Power

Contacting the ball is the first step, but only enough power can make the baseball fly far enough. If the power is not enough to make the ball fly far enough, the batter will not have much chance to take the base. A player with enough power is more likely to hit the ball to the distance and position he wants.

Rank 3 Fielding

Defense in MLB The Show 25 is much more important than in previous games. It can almost be said that as long as you can play good defense, you can win the championship. Only good defense can prevent your batter from getting out and give your other players a chance to score. If Fielding points is not high, it may cause your batter to be in a disadvantageous position frequently and unable to score.

Rank 4 Reaction

When the ball is hit by the batter, each player needs to react to the ball. This is actually still part of defense. The faster the outfielder or infielder and their reaction to the batted ball, the greater the chance of getting the batter out. However, reacting too slowly may result in a slow pitch or lousy throw.

Rank 5 Vision

When a batter stands at the plate, the higher Vision attribute, the greater the chance of hitting the ball. In the new ambush hit mechanic, when your batter hits the ball in a specific part of the strike zone, a player with a good Vision attribute will be able to hit the ball more accurately. You only need to let your player swing the bat within the time range of the hit determination to hit the ball, even if the swing time is slightly early or late.

Rank 6 Speed

When the batter hits the ball, it is not the end of the game but the beginning of the game; the first baseman and the second baseman must run as fast as possible to reach the destination safely. The speed of your players will depend on whether they hit a single or a double. This can play an important role in the later stages of the game, because every hit is important, and the faster you are, the easier it is to score. Elly De La Cruz is the fastest runner in Reds, and he is also one of the three cover athletes of this MLB 25. If your team lacks a speed player, it is recommended that you invest stubs for this player.

Rank 7 Clutch

When the game is at a critical moment and you need to hit the ball to win, players with higher Clutch attributes will perform better in this situation. Clutch attributes are related to the player’s performance in high-pressure situations, such as batting for the team, catching the ball in the outfield, or passing the ball to first base for a big out. There are many opportunities to encounter such situations in the game, so make sure your batter can perform well in high-pressure situations and use this attribute.

Rank 8 Steal

After reaching the base safely, you can’t completely relax. It depends on whether the batter can run the bases smoothly. This Steal is very important when you need to gain momentum in the game and want to get ahead and put the runners in scoring position. Speed is also crucial because it is directly related to whether the batter can steal bases smoothly. High speed and good movement when sliding into the base position are indispensable for a good base stealer.

The above are the 8 attributes that are crucial for batters. When players select players or train batters in Road to the Show mode, you can refer to the above attribute rankings.
