PitchTunnels

MLB The Show 26 Edition

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

New in 1.4: replay every tunnel from the catcher's view in slow motion, and see exactly where each pitch lives in the zone. PitchTunnels 2.0 arrives with The Show 27. Stop throwing predictable pitches. Start tunneling. PitchTunnels gives MLB The Show 26 players data-backed pitch sequencing that keeps online batters guessing. Master the strategy used by real MLB pitchers and watch your strikeout rate climb. HOW IT WORKS Pitch tunneling works because two pitches look identical until the batter must commit — then break in different directions. PitchTunnels shows you which combinations create that deception with your pitcher's specific arsenal.

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.
