Best batting stances in MLB The Show 22

Ken Griffey Jr.

For a reason, KGJ is a household name in Major League Baseball. It's no wonder that Jr's batting stance is at the top of the game's pecking order, with a career total of 2781 base hits and 630 home runs. This stance is not only favored by many of the game's finest Road to the Show players, but it's also available in Diamond Dynasty for anyone who wants to try out the swing before making the switch. When imitating the icon's own characteristics, such as hitting right-handed and facing right-handed pitchers on the mound, this stance becomes even more powerful.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

In 2022, Vlad Guerrero is probably the purest hitter in baseball. He tied for first place in the homerun race in 2021, and he's swinging the bat well early in 2022, and it's simple to understand why. In real life and in the game, his stance is a wonderful balance of rigid and fluid, and it's one of the more forgiving stances on the list. You'll be crushing pitches like Vladdy for the Blue Jays with just a little practice.

Chipper Jones

Chipper Jones' stance, like Ken Griffey Jr's, involves a lot of moving the bat about. If you don't like pre-swing action, this stance isn't for you; instead, opt for a more solid stance. For those who don't mind the pre-swing action, this stance is ideal for contact hitters and power swingers alike. Jones' distinctive swing has one flaw: it appears to wobble more to inside pitches than some of his competitors, but this is only visible at the highest levels of the game. It's worth mentioning that the 2008 version, which is straight-legged, is preferable to his initial backward-leaning position.

Shohei Ohtani 

For a reason, the cover athlete is the cover athlete. The lofty and solid stance of Ohtani-san produces exactly what you'd expect for a game with his face on the cover. This stance is recommended for anyone who wishes to have as little distraction from their bat as possible while at the plate. This is the stance to use if you're having difficulties hitting with loosey-goosey hitters like Jones or those with big windup steps like Ozzie Albies. As long as you're making excellent contact, this no-nonsense batting style is lethal against pitches both inside and outside the strike zone.
