If you’re reading this guide, you obviously don’t know how to quick pitch in MLB’s latest game, but you’ve probably still experienced it online. Quick pitching occurs when a runner is on base and the pitcher is throwing from the stretch. In order to keep the runner from trying to steal a base, the pitcher will throw in an accelerated motion to ensure the catcher has time to react.

Now, sweaty gamers on The Show will use quick pitching as a way to throw off your timing, whether there’s a speedy runner on base or not. It can get pretty frustrating, but if you add it to your bag of tricks, you can make sure your opponent gets a taste of their own medicine next time they’re up to bat.

And that’s how to quick pitch in MLB The Show 24.
