MLB The Show 22: How to slide

Sliding is an underappreciated aspect of jogging on the base paths in MLB The Show 22. Slides can be employed in a variety of situations, including creeping in to snag an extra base that one might not have otherwise. Preventing the defense from turning a double play, for example. But, in MLB The Show 22, how exactly do you execute a slide? Sliding controls come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they're all related.

Users should familiarise themselves with the right analog stick before playing MLB The Show 22. In order to slide on all three platforms (Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo), users must move the right stick around. Each orientation, however, performs a different type of slide. Starting with slides at home plate, here's a synopsis of each:

Type	Control

Straight in headfirst	Right Stick (Down)
Wide right feet-first	Right Stick (Down-Right)
Wide right headfirst	Right Stick (Up-Right)
Wide left feet-first	Right Stick (Down-Left)
Wide left headfirst	Right Stick (Down-Up)

And here's how you get into the bases:

Type	Control
Straight in feet-first	Right Stick (Down)
Straight in headfirst	Right Stick (Up)
Hook to the left	Right Stick (Left)
Hook to the right	Right Stick (Right)
