Speed-Run Strategy

Triples are notoriously tough in MLB The Show 26, but the following tips will help you hit your goal fast:

Play at Forbes Field

Best stadium for triples farming.

Massive gaps and deep fences make it easier to get balls to the outfield "limbo," giving even slower runners a chance to reach third base.

Target Oracle Park (Right-Center)

Use the famous "Triples Alley."

Aim line drives toward the deep right-center wall for guaranteed extra-base hits.

Optimize Your Lineup

Stack your team with high-speed players (90+ Speed) and High Contact.

Avoid power hitters who are likely to hit home runs. The goal is to keep the ball in play so you can run the bases.

CPU Grinding

Play against the Rockies or Nationals on Rookie Difficulty in Play vs CPU.

Their outfielders tend to be slower, giving you more time to stretch singles into triples.

Once you hit your 30th triple, the Polo Grounds card will automatically appear in your inventory. From there, you can set it as your home field in any game mode, letting you enjoy those classic outfield dimensions anytime.
