With only a runner on second base, hit an RBI double. (Excludes simulated gameplay.)
The "Trading Places" trophy/achievement in MLB The Show 24 requires a specific situation and a clutch base hit. Here’s how to achieve it:
Requirements:
The Situation:
Imagine this scenario: there’s an out (or multiple outs) in the inning, and you have a runner who reached second base (via a hit, walk, stolen base, etc.). With nobody else on base, you come up to bat needing a double to score the runner.
Hitting the Double:
Power vs. Placement: You’ll need a good balance of power and placement for this hit. While you want to hit the ball hard enough to reach the outfield for a double, aiming for a gap between outfielders can increase your chances of success.
Baserunner Awareness: Be aware of the baserunner’s speed on second. If they’re slow, you might need to hit the ball even deeper to ensure they can score on a double.
Modes to Achieve This:
Exhibition: This is a great option to practice against the CPU on a lower difficulty level. You can create a custom scenario where you start at the plate with a runner on second and one or two outs.
Franchise/March to October: Play through games and look for situations where you get a runner on second base with a chance to drive them in with a double.
Tips for Success:
Practice Hitting: Sharpen your hitting skills in batting practice or exhibition games. Focus on hitting line drives and gap shots with good power.
Situational Awareness: During the at-bat, be mindful of the outs and the runner’s speed on second. This can influence your approach at the plate.
Additional Notes:
So, step up to the plate in a scoring situation, and aim for that clutch RBI double to celebrate the "Trading Places" trophy/achievement!
