How to Customize a Batting Stance in MLB The Show 24

Once you've chosen a base stance, players who want to adjust it to fit their own style have several different settings to pick from. If you're still early in your MLB The Show 24 journey, we recommend using a base stance at first to get a feel for your own hitting tendencies and preferences before significantly customizing the stance.

First off, adjusting Hand Offset X lower will improve your late swings and higher will help your early swings. Hand Offset Y helps low pitches or high pitches based on value, and Hand Offset Z should be lowered to help when facing outside pitches or raised to help inside pitches. Hand Rotation and Hand Waggle Rotation can be lowered to help with high pitches or raised to help with low pitches. 

Lower your Back Elbow Offset value to improve contact swings or raise it to help with power swings. Lower the Front Elbow Offset to help with low pitches or raise it to improve high pitches. Hips Offset X works the same as Hand Offset X, but the others are inverted. Adjust Hips Offset Y to a low value to help with high pitches or a high value to help with low pitches, and move Hips Offset Z down to help inside pitches or up to help outside pitches.

Finally, raise Forward Foot Offset Z to push hits more frequently or lower it to pull hits more often. Lower the value on Forward Foot Offset X to improve contact on late swings or raise it to improve contact on early swings. If you notice a hitting tendency in your games that can be addressed with one of these settings, head in and customize until you have the best batting stance in MLB The Show 24.
