On June 2, Sony San Diego (SDS) will release the 14th title update for MLB The Show 25. This one is notable for several reasons. Aside from adding Lou Gehrig Day content, the development team is making a significant tweak to bunting. And, new player models for several MLB stars will be inserted on all versions of the game.
June 2 patch notes for MLB The Show 25
Here’s a look at the changes made in the June 2 MLB The Show 25 update:
General
- Added Lou Gehrig Day bat skin and bat grip.
Gameplay
- Adjusted drag/push bunts to be less successful on higher hitting difficulties.
Updated player models
- Spencer Jones
- Addison Barger
- Hyeseong Kim
- Starling Marte
- Ryan Jeffers
- Kyle Stowers
- Luis Torrens
- Shane Baz
- Vinnie Pasquantino
- Marcell Ozuna

- Rafael Marchan
The last title update saw new player models for over 25 players added to the game. Nearly 20 more were added this time around, including updated models for Cal Raleigh, Byron Buxton, and Royce Lewis, among others.
Another notable change is the fact SDS will be making it more difficult to execute drag bunts on higher difficulties.
This is notable, as some Diamond Dynasty players on social media were not-so-subtly stating to use drag bunts on G.O.A.T difficulty with players to grind Diamond Quest, in order to get Stubs, packs, and player rewards.
Lastly, Lou Gehrig-themed content will be added in conjunction with the Lou Gehrig Day celebration across MLB on June 1/2. SDS will also drop a Lou Gehrig Day-themed program on June 2, as the development team has done in past installments of The Show.
This update will go live on all platforms on June 2 at 1 PM ET.
