MLB The Show 24 A Double Play Would Be Nice Here

Get a double play to end the inning. (Excludes simulated gameplay.)

Absolutely! The "A Double Play Would Be Nice Here" trophy/achievement in MLB The Show 24 celebrates turning a critical double play to extinguish a scoring threat and end the inning. Here’s how to achieve it:

Requirements:

  • In a non-simulated game, you need to record a double play to retire two baserunners and end the inning.

Understanding Double Plays:

A double play occurs when the defense records two outs on a single play. This can happen in various situations, but commonly involves:

  • Force Out: A force out happens when a fielder steps on a base that a runner is forced to advance to (e.g., runner on first forced to go to second on a ground ball).
  • Tag Out: A tag out involves touching a baserunner with the ball while they’re not on a base.

Double Plays to End the Inning:

  • Ground Balls: Ground balls hit to the infield often present opportunities for double plays, especially with runners on base. Depending on the situation, the fielder can force out the runner at second and then throw to first for another out.
  • Line Drives: In some scenarios, a line drive can result in a double play if the fielder catches the ball and throws quickly to get a force out or tag out a baserunner advancing.

Strategies and Tips:

  • Shifting Defense (Optional): You can use defensive shifts to position your infielders strategically based on the batter and baserunner situation. This can improve your chances of turning a double play on certain ground balls.

  • Situational Awareness: Be aware of the baserunners on base and the outs in the inning. This can help you anticipate double play opportunities and position your fielders accordingly.

Modes to Achieve This:

  • Exhibition: This is a great option to practice against the CPU on a lower difficulty level. You can set up situations with runners on base and work on turning double plays with your infielders.

  • Franchise/March to October: Play through games and focus on making good defensive plays, especially with runners on base. Capitalize on opportunities to turn double plays and end innings early.

Additional Notes:

  • While possible online, it might be easier to get this trophy offline against the CPU.
  • This trophy emphasizes the importance of strong infield defense and capitalizing on opportunities to record multiple outs on a single play.

So, think strategically, position your defense effectively, and execute a clutch double play to secure the "A Double Play Would Be Nice Here" trophy/achievement!
