In 2018, 19 and now 20, it's not uncommon to get up to the Show by the all-star break of AA. I set up a LF, was drafted by the Marlins, promoted to MLB by mid-July and actually had enough playing time to be the Rookie of the Year. Like TheRedCloak said, it depends on the club.

I just set up a new player, a "Small Ball" Shortstop. I was drafted by... the Rockies (!). Trevor Story sits WAY ahead of me, so I want to see if they either trade me, or let me toil away in the minors for awhile. I hope it's the latter.

I bet they try to make you move positions. I only had Jonathon Schoop ahead of me and they were content with him I guess. I'm now a 99 overall though 💪

They did move me, to CF. After a few weeks, they asked me to stay there. I said "no". They said "Trevor Story is ahead of you". I still said "no". We'll see if I get traded, or have to wait until Trevor reaches free agency...

Hmmm, we'll see what happens. I want to say it took a month to 2 months before they traded me, but I resisted initially, because I've gotten stuck in positions in previous versions. Best of luck.

Back several years the player would automatically watch the ball briefly ( kind of like it does for a fly ball tag up). Now for button running it says pre-pitch hold the left stick Left to watch ball and right to watch coach, neither works well

L2 does work but it is not good, I wish they would just look at the ball and let the player decide if he should run or not. Hmmm... is that not what a player does?

I think what the author is saying is why can’t we pick our team after we go the college route? After the initial scout day/games you are given the option to pick your team you’d like to play for. However, if you go to college for a year (or 4) you are no longer given the option to pick your team and are at the mercy of the draft. I like starting my career at 22 years old. I would like the ability to pick my team at any time!

I've gotten it several times. Only a couple that were homeruns though, the rest were P/P liners to the outfield. I'm a power hitter this time and I strike out a TON which pisses me off, but I got called up to the majors and am hovering between hall of fame + and legend + on dynamic difficulty.

Honestly I expect to get shipped back off to the minors after this season...my average is terrible, my average with risp is terrible, and I have almost as many HR as I do RBI. SMH

Unfortunately, the truth is that San Diego studios seem to have intentionally(?) removed 2 features of tracking what's going on while you are running the bases: Yes, L1 (third base coach) was dropped and so was R1 (track the ball). The answer from the studio so far has been that you can either move the viewpoint around your player with the right stick or use the broadcasting view (L2), both of which are not really useful replacement. It's really strange that they did this ...

In the end, my guy stayed up in the majors, largely because the rest of the Royals rotation was terrible, I think. Finished the season 6-6, got a spring training invite and simmed through it... to find myself as the team's long reliever. By the end of May, I had over 100 innings of pitching in relief... annoying. Starting again now, in July I think, after a long injury from goofing around.

I've honestly never tried. Bugs the [censored] outta me that I have to hold L1. I'll have to try this.

[censored], I already have Diamond in that slot.

I don’t typically swing first pitch. Sometimes I don’t swing at first two pitches. Looks like now you get penalized if it happens to be a strike. Wtf and can that be turned off? That’s insane.

You sure it’s just not the card? If it has first pitch swinger Perk it is bigger on the first pitch and not afterward

It's his Road to the Show player.

It refers to the pitcher’s confidence on your team. His confidence meter will drain more slowly if your relationship results in -%CFD. Not sure how much effect it has. Hard to measure.

I was a starting pitcher, made it to the majors my first season and won Rookie of the year. The next season, I’m coming out of the bullpen. Not happy, want to start, but don’t know how and never seem to talk to my agent. What gives?

I would say you are 100% right, my friend. Am I allowed to retract my detraction? Yeah, being able to look up would be pretty awesome.

Ah, I see. Maybe try a couple of rounds of discipline batting practice? Helps me when my timing gets screwy
