Combining Both in MLB The Show 25 Stubs Key Scenarios

Let’s look at how base running and situational awareness work hand-in-hand in common scenarios:

Scenario 1: Runner on First, No Outs

Base Running: Take a moderate lead.

Situational Awareness: If your hitter is a contact machine, use hit and run. If your hitter is a power threat, avoid risking a steal and wait for the long ball.

Scenario 2: Runner on Third, One Out

Base Running: Be ready to tag on a fly ball.

Situational Awareness: Only run on contact if the infield is playing back. If they’re in, hold your runner to avoid an easy out at home.

Scenario 3: Extra Innings, Runner on Second (Ghost Runner Rule)

Base Running: Be aggressive on anything hit to the outfield.

Situational Awareness: With no outs, a bunt may be the smart play. With one out, look for a deep fly to tag up.
