    All-Star Ruth and SS Ruth were both not pitchers.

    I think OP is talking about outside of DD. Like those pre-canned flashback teams and SDS rosters that only have him as a pitcher.

    Ah, my bad. I always just sort topics by most recent, so I usually don’t even pay attention to the category.

    Same here, dude. It's just easier for me that way.

    OP has a good point though. They really should have both versions of the Babe available. He's famous for both. He was great at both. I get the frustration.

    I wasn’t even aware that this is an issue. I agree then, both versions should be available. Besides, I feel like most people think hitter when they hear babe Ruth, not pitcher.

    Remember, and this is important. They dont care about franchise like you and I do. Just like last year and year before that and so on and so forth. It's a shame

    I'm not at my PS4 right now, but I went through the roster last night and found that there were two Babe Ruths, and both are starting pitchers.

    Honestly this would be easily solved if they would just allow us to freely edit positions. There's really no reason to NOT have that option

    Can you designate either as a two way player?

    At this rate next year they will force Mickey Mantle into the 1B position with no option of changing. Seriously this should be such an obvious/quick fix. Like seconds of work on the developer's part. Hopefully its addressed.

    Nope. You can't change existing players in the rosters into two-way players. The 99 Ruth does have OF/1B as (unchangeable) secondary positions, but his primary position can only be SP/RP/CP. The other Ruth is an 87 with no secondary positions.

    When Babe was added to 18 with all the fanfare that came with it, I'm fairly certain none of the gameplay trailers advertised him as a pitcher lol. This should be a common sense fix.

    So last year a lot of us complained all year round to the team of SDS about the fact thatwe only had Babe Ruth as a Pitcher and we got zero reply to it at all. Now a new year another game MLB The Show 20 and again we only get the Babe as a pitcher. Why SDS ? Why not alsomake him available as a position player we all know and love him for ?

    They don't even give us the option to change his pos to OF. Just ridiculous!

    There is an option to solve this... Start a franchise in MLB the Show 18, continue franchise in 19, then continue it in 20... Ruth the hitter will be there... Not sure how that will effect current stats on all other players, might be 18 stats, but it’s an option, you can always play a 2020 franchise as well separately with all current stats....

    Its even more laughable since almost all of his "quirks" are hitting related.

    I think I figured out a way around this. Change his position to CP and the game will automatically put him at DH in the everyday lineup. I simmed a few games with this setup and he was in the starting lineup as a hitter in every one of them.
