Hit a ball that can leave the field on either side of the foul pole.
In MLB The Show 24, the "If You Stare, it Might Stay Fair" trophy/achievement is all about hitting a ball that flirts with foul territory but ultimately lands fair for a base hit (or even a home run!). Here’s how to achieve it:
Requirements:
Imagine this scenario:
Strategies and Tips:
Power Hitters: While not essential, using a power hitter with good launch angle can increase your chances of hitting the ball far enough to potentially flirt with foul territory before curving back in.
Directional Hitting: Aim for a line drive or a fly ball hit towards the foul poles (left or right field line). This increases the possibility of the ball staying fair after a slight hook or slice.
Practice (Optional): Playing batting practice can help you get a feel for hitting the ball with the right launch angle and direction to potentially achieve this feat. However, there’s always an element of luck involved.
Modes to Achieve This:
Exhibition: This is the most recommended mode. Set the difficulty to Rookie and choose a pitcher with a weaker arm. Focus on hitting line drives or fly balls towards the foul poles, aiming for that perfect "just fair" outcome.
Franchise/March to October: Play through games and look for situations with a good count and a chance to hit the ball deep. While less controllable, you might get lucky and achieve this trophy during regular gameplay.
Additional Notes:
So, step up to the plate with focus, aim for a well-hit ball towards the foul poles, and celebrate that dramatic "fair" outcome for the "If You Stare, it Might Stay Fair" trophy/achievement!
