MLB The Show 24 Ambush

Get a hit with the first pitch of the game.

You’ve got it! The "Ambush!" trophy/achievement in MLB The Show 24 rewards being aggressive from the very first pitch. Here’s how to conquer it:

Requirements:

  • In any game mode (except Moments and simulated games), you need to get a hit with the very first pitch that the pitcher throws in the entire game.

Strategies and Tips:

  • Be Ready to Swing: Be prepared to swing at the first pitch, especially if it’s a fastball right down the middle. You’ll need good reflexes and anticipation.

  • Opposing Pitcher: Ideally, you might face a pitcher with lower control ratings, making it more likely they’ll throw a hittable first pitch. However, this isn’t guaranteed.

  • Practice (Optional): In batting practice, you can try getting a feel for fastballs and practicing your timing to hit the first pitch.

Modes to Achieve This:

  • Exhibition: This is the most recommended mode. Set the difficulty to Rookie and choose a pitcher with a weaker control rating. Focus on hitting the first pitch that’s a strike down the middle.

  • Franchise/March to October: Play through games and hope to see a first-pitch fastball that you can react to for a hit. However, this trophy relies more on luck in these modes.

  • Online Play: While technically possible, it’s much more challenging to predict what pitch a human player will throw first.

Additional Notes:

  • Patience is key. You might not get this trophy on the first try. Keep playing and focus on being ready to swing at the first hittable pitch.
  • This trophy emphasizes reading the pitcher and being aggressive early in the at-bat.

So, step up to the plate with focus, and aim to connect with that first pitch for the sweet satisfaction of the "Ambush!" trophy/achievement!
