Manage Pitcher Stamina Like a Pro

Tired pitchers leave balls over MLB The Show 25 Stubs the plate. MLB The Show 25 penalizes stamina more aggressively.

Rules for Stamina Management

Remove SP after 85–95 pitches depending on control loss

Don’t let relievers face three batters if their confidence is shaken

Warm up relievers early—even in the 4th inning if you're struggling

Know the “3 Batter Drop Rule”:

Once stamina dips past 50%, control worsens drastically over the next three batters. Don’t push past it unless it’s a blowout.
