MLB The Show 24 Watch

Hit a home run and steal a base with the same player in one game. (Excludes simulated gameplay.)

The "Watch?" trophy/achievement in MLB The Show 24 challenges you to showcase your baserunning and power hitting skills with one player! Here’s how to achieve it:

Requirements:

  • In a single game, you need to hit a home run and steal a base with the same player.
  • Simulated games don’t count towards this trophy.

Strategies:

  • Balanced Player: Select a player with a good combination of power hitting (high power hitting attributes) and baserunning speed (preferably with a base stealing rating above 70).

  • Situational Awareness:

    • Hitting a Home Run: Look for an ideal hitting opportunity. This could be a good pitch to hit (a fastball down the middle with a high pitch count) or a situation with runners on base (potentially leading to a multi-run homer).
    • Stealing a Base: Identify the right moment to steal. Ideally, this would be after you’ve hit a single or double and there’s a favorable situation (weak throwing catcher, high pitch count on the pitcher).

Modes to Achieve This:

  • Exhibition: This is a great option to practice against the CPU on a lower difficulty level. You can set the game settings to favor offense (smaller ballparks, short fences) to increase your chances of hitting a home run.

  • Franchise/March to October: Play through regular season games and look for opportunities where your chosen player gets on base early in the game.

Tips for Success:

  • Practice Baserunning: Sharpen your baserunning skills by attempting steals in exhibition games. Learn the timing of the "Steal Base" command and how to anticipate the pitcher’s throws.
  • Focus on Pitch Selection (Hitting): During your at-bat, look for pitches you can crush for a home run.
  • Be Patient (Stealing): Don’t rush the steal attempt. Wait for the right moment when the odds are in your favor.

Additional Notes:

  • While this trophy can be achieved online, it might be easier to do offline against the CPU on a lower difficulty.
  • This trophy encourages well-rounded gameplay, requiring both power hitting and smart baserunning decisions.

So, step up to the plate with a balanced player, and showcase your offensive and baserunning prowess! With a little practice and patience, you’ll be celebrating the "Watch?" trophy/achievement in no time.
