Alright, folks, let’s dive into my little adventure with “generic stances” in MLB The Show 24. I’m no pro gamer, just a dude who loves baseball and likes to tinker with the game.

Figuring Out the Stances
So, I started by firing up the game, naturally. My goal? To give my created player a more personalized feel, and that began with messing around with the batting stances.
I headed straight into the “Create a Player” mode. You know, where you can customize everything from the nose hairs to the cleat color. I’m exaggerating a bit, but you get the idea.
After setting up my player’s basic look, I clicked on the “Animations” section. This is where the magic happens. It is easy to find the Batting Stance,I found the “Generic” options.
Experimenting with Options
Now, the “Generic” stances are your basic, run-of-the-mill options. These are the option for many famous batting *’s a brief summary:
- Generic Stance 1, 2, 3, etc.: These are your basic setups. Some are more open, some are closed, some have a higher leg kick, and so on. I spent a good chunk of time just cycling through these, watching how my player’s stance changed.
- One-Handed vs. Two-Handed: It can be changed from one hand swing or two hands. I personally prefer the One-Handed setting.
Finding the “Perfect” Fit (or Not)
Honestly, it took a lot of trial and error. I’d pick a stance, go into practice mode, take a few swings, and then go back and tweak it. I was looking for something that felt comfortable and looked somewhat realistic. I wanted a stance that felt “right” for my virtual player.

I ended up settling on Generic Stance, I forget the number. It had a slight crouch, a bit of a leg kick, and just felt… good. Don’t get me wrong, It wasn’t perfect, I’m always make change to my player.
My Final Thoughts
The generic stances in MLB The Show 24 are a great starting point for customizing your player. The process of experimenting with them is actually pretty fun. Just be prepared to spend some time hitting dingers in practice mode until you find that perfect feel.
Remember, it’s all about personal preference. There’s no “right” or “wrong” stance. Just find one that you like and go crush some virtual baseballs!
