MLB The Show 23 has become a big hit among baseball fans since its release in March. The new content and features offer a brand-new video game experience for players.
The two-way players in the game have gained plenty of prominence. Here, you can use one player to do both — pitch like a pro and swing for the stands.
Interestingly, MLB The Show 23 allows you to build a two-way player only with natural pitchers. Hence, if a player does not have the natural attribute to pitch, he cannot be transformed into a two-way player in the game.
In order to prepare for a player's two-way designation, he must pitch at least 20 Major League innings and have at least 20 games played as a position player or designated hitter. Moreover, the player needs a minimum of three plate appearances across those 20 games.
Once you create a two-way player, he maintains that status for the rest of that season and the following campaign as well. Interestingly, the two-way status for a player also does not take up a spot on your MLB team's pitching roster.
