<![CDATA[Why are check swings back?]]>I faced several players who check swing at every breaking ball off the plate with near 100% success. Its not bad enough that you can foul off changeups in the dirt or cutters 6 inches in on the hands, but now check swings are back in the game?

Yes, I also can’t stand it. It’s mind numbing. Terrible gameplay.

MLB the Show check swing, foul ball and steal 2nd/3rd 2026.
