MLB The Show 22: How to win the Mini Seasons championship

MLB The new Mini Seasons game option in Show 22 gives dozens of rewards to those who master it, but most players will find it difficult. The "Global League" is a hypothetical league made up of seven other clubs based entirely on other players' Diamond Dynasty teams. As a result, anticipate opposition clubs to include diamond-tier stars such as Randy Johnson, Bryce Harper, and, of course, Mike Trout. Even novices can beat these talented teams, thus it's not impossible for them to win. With only three innings in each game, there are a few methods that should help your lineup win the championship. Here's how to get the Mini Seasons Championship and the 16-Pack award that comes with it.

Learn how to set up your lineup

In Mini Seasons, the biggest error you can do is to put your best power hitters at the head of your lineup. You won't see as many home runs as you would in other settings because all of these clubs are likely to feature one or two of the top pitchers in the game. As a result, individuals that excel in batting for contact should be at the top of your order.

At the time of writing, the Faces of the Franchise program had George Brett, Michael Young, and Johnny Damon as early rewards. Batters like these are known for getting doubles virtually every other at-bat, putting your power hitters in position for an RBI — even if it's on a sacrifice fly.

The king of the road is speed

Because you only have nine outs to win a game in Mini Seasons, a quick player becomes your most valuable asset. They also don't have to be particularly good hitters or fielders. Because you'll want to sub them in once you've got one man on base. After then, only one or two sacrifice flies should be required to get this baserunner home. It sounds too good to be true, but with these games being so short, this technique becomes the most effective way to earn that 1-0 victory.

It's also worth noting that extra-innings games will start with a runner on second base. These runners will be assigned automatically, so make sure to bring in your quickest player before taking a pitch. Those interested in attempting this method should look for inexpensive speed demons like Harrison Bader, Billy Hamilton, or Adalberto Mondesi. Billy Hamilton, with a 99 Stealing rating and a normal market price of roughly 100 Stubs, maybe the best of the group.

Prepare ahead of time by scouting your opponent

One of the best strategies to use before walking onto the field is to look at each team's lineup and starting pitcher. This may be done by hovering your mouse over a team in your schedule and selecting "View Team Info." You can scout this to determine if they're employing a left-handed or right-handed pitcher, and then build your lineup around those who have the best chance of getting a hit off of them.

Second, who you employ to pitch during the game may be influenced by this. Pitchers that have the same dominant hand as the hitter have an advantage in most cases. This is because the majority of their breaking balls will be going away from the batter, making it much more difficult to hit. If their lineup is primarily made up of right-handed hitters, you should use right-handed pitchers in each inning.
