October 19, 2026
v1.4 — Final MLB The Show 26 feature update PITCHTUNNELS 2.0 IS COMING WITH MLB THE SHOW 27 • This is the last feature update for MLB The Show 26 — bug fixes may still follow. • Check for PitchTunnels 2.0 when The Show 27 releases. PITCH GUIDE • Watch each pitch fly from the catcher's view and see how far its spin moves it from a no-spin throw, for right- and left-handed pitchers TUNNEL BREAKDOWN (PRO) • Watch a tunnel's two pitches leave the hand on the same line and split late — a slow-motion replay from the catcher's view, in place of the movement plot RATINGS IN CARD COLORS • Pitching attribute bars now measure to 125, The Show's ceiling, not 99, and take the card-tier color of their value — Red Diamond for 95 and up — readable in light and dark mode • OVR numbers now take their card-tier color on My Pitchers, Active Roster, Add Players and the matchup picker LOCATION FIXES • The Attack Plan, the Pitch Sequencer and tunnel results now share one matchup — pick the pitcher and the batter once and every screen follows • Fixed an up-and-away sinker recommendation against right-handed hitters from a left-handed pitcher — it now matches the mirror matchup • The changeup and circle change are now targeted down and away in every matchup • Location arrows now flip correctly for left-handed hitters • Curveball, knuckle-curve, 12-6 curve and forkball targets now follow each pitch's break and match for left- and right-handed pitchers • Targets on the Pitch Locator, Attack Plan and tunnel strike zones can sit beside the zone or straddle its edge, with an oval for each pitch • The Pitch Locator, Attack Plan and Tunnel Details now show the pitcher on a mound and the batter in the batter's box, instead of a badge in the corner • When one pitch's targets touch, the Pitch Locator draws them as one upright oval with one label • The Location Guide names every pitch that shares a target, instead of drawing one on top of another • Chase targets now stay outside the strike zone instead of spilling back over its edge PRIVACY • Ads now wait for your consent answer before they load • Where Google asks for ad consent, you can change your choice anytime in Help & Settings → Legal → Privacy Options CLEARER RECOMMENDATIONS • Every pitch recommendation now spells out the location in words — "Low & Away", "Middle In" — instead of an arrow you had to interpret • The tunnel detail screen's order section is now headed "Pitch Order" THANK YOU The location fixes came from one player who kept writing in.
