InMLB The Show 22, players can step into the action during three-game innings to build experience and work their way towards rewards while conserving time in the condensed game mode. While the idea is a big hit with the player base, an issue came to light regarding the energy levels of the game’s relief andstarting pitchers.
The problem occurs specifically inMLB The Show 22’s three-inning games, where players noticed their relief pitchers' stamina bars going into yellow after only five pitches. While the game-shortened mode brings a nine-inning game down to three, relief pitchers usually average a few dozen pitches in a few innings.

However, San Diego Studio announced that a patch adds a fix to the stamina levels for both the starting and relief pitchers in a tweet on April 12.
