MLB The Show 22: How to slide step

Let's imagine you're the pitcher in an MLB The Show 22 game and there's a fast runner at first base. What can you do to prevent the runner from progressing by stealing a base? One method is to attempt pickoff throws on a regular basis. You could also do a slidestep. A slidestep is a type of fast pitch in which the pitcher tosses the ball with a shortened delivery. The length of time the runner has to steal before the catcher gains control of the baseball is reduced by shortening the delivery. Slidesteps, on the other hand, are not without risk. So, in MLB The Show 22, how do you throw a slidestep? Let's have a look at what you'll need to do.

The slidestep controls in MLB The Show 22 are nearly identical to those in MLB The Show 21. Make sure a runner is on base first before performing a slidestep. Then press LT (for Xbox), LT (for PlayStation), or ZL (for both) (for Nintendo Switch). Then choose a pitch to throw and follow the same steps as you normally would.

If you're using Pinpoint Pitching, you'll note that not only is the windup shortened, but so is the time is given to delivering a pitch correctly. When employing a slidestep, you'll need to be conscious of this because pitching becomes more difficult. You compensate for the slidestep, make sure to do the moves faster.
