Launch day for *MLB The Show 25* has brought excitement and challenges, as players dive into the game and explore its myriad features. Unfortunately, it's also brought a bug to light—the "Base hit to right field" glitch. Here's a detailed look at this issue and how to address it.
Even before the official launch of *MLB The Show 25*, keen players noticed a recurring issue at the plate. Regardless of where the ball was hit, commentator Boog Sciambi would consistently say, "Swing and a ground ball. Base hit to right field." This discrepancy can be confusing, particularly when the ball lands in left field or even leaves the park.
Clearly, this isn't what San Diego Studio intended, as the commentary should accurately reflect the on-field action. The bug isn't just a minor annoyance; it can lead to strategic missteps, like sending a runner home thinking the ball is heading to right field when it's actually being fielded elsewhere. Thankfully, there are ways to mitigate this issue.

The simplest workaround for the "Base hit to right field" bug is to mute the commentators. Navigate to the game's settings and slide the "Commentary Volume" to zero. This prevents Boog Sciambi from making incorrect calls, though it does mean missing out on the immersive experience that commentary adds, including the sound of the bat hitting the ball and other crucial audio cues.
As of now, San Diego Studio has not officially addressed this bug, leaving uncertainty about a permanent fix. Given that it's launch week for *MLB The Show 25*, the developers are likely focused on ensuring the game runs smoothly across all platforms. Hopefully, a solution will be forthcoming, allowing players to enjoy the full audio experience once again.
