How to rob a home run in MLB The Show 24

To rob a home run in MLB The Show 24, you must press the jump button (R1/RB) at the precise moment when the ball is about to leave the field over the boundaries.

This way, your Outfielder will jump, catch the ball just as it is about to be marked as a home run, and register an out for the opposing team. Although this play seems simple to execute, it is not easy because you need two factors: the attributes of the Outfielder and the timing to perform the jump.

Outfielders need to be fast and have a great fielding rating to rob a home run in MLB The Show 24.

Firstly, for the attempted home run robbery to have a higher chance of success, the Outfielder must have high Speed and Fielding ratings. Additionally, you must learn the timing to execute the jump.

Once the ball is hit, a guide path will appear on the field indicating where you should stand to make the catch. However, if it ends at a wall and three yellow arrows appear, it indicates that you must become a hero and bring that ball back from the outside.

As the ball approaches, the yellow arrows will turn green, and when the third arrow turns green, you should wait an extra second and press R1/RB to rob the home run. The best way to master this is through practice, and due to the high speed at which the ball travels, it’s likely that you will fail in your first attempts.

All in all, that’s everything you need to know to rob a home run in MLB The Show 24.
