Position Flexibility in RTTS – What You Can (and Can’t) Control in MLB The Show

sunshine666

Position changes in MLB The Show 25's Road to the Show (RTTS) mode remain a topic of interest—and often confusion—for many players. With the increasing mlb stubs
emphasis on realism and career immersion, players now find that they can no longer change positions at will through a simple menu selection. Instead, The Show 25 simulates a real-life baseball career more than ever before, meaning key decisions—like moving from shortstop to center field, or first base to catcher—are often influenced by interactions with in-game characters, performance metrics, and timing.

This system adds immersion, but it also introduces layers of unpredictability and even frustration. Let's unpack how the system works, what options are realistically available, and what you can do if you want to explore a different position on the field.

How RTTS Position Change Works
Unlike Franchise mode where you can drag and drop players around the lineup card, Road to the Show is built around the concept of player progression and team dynamics. You're a prospect. You have a draft profile. Teams sign you based on need, and initially, they expect you to fill that role. For example, if you chose to be a third baseman, your team may have specifically drafted you to fill that organizational need.

To change your position, your ballplayer must build enough rapport, visibility, and performance to warrant attention. Once you've demonstrated value, your in-game agent may eventually reach out, presenting you with an opportunity to talk about your development. This conversation often leads to an interaction with your team's manager, where you'll be allowed to propose a change.

However, not every player will receive this opportunity. Many users report going multiple seasons without such a discussion ever occurring. The system does not appear to have a manual trigger, and the game's logic for initiating it seems tied to performance milestones or role congestion on your team's depth chart.

Realistic Restrictions
It's important to acknowledge that position flexibility has real limits in RTTS. The biggest restriction is the inability to move between pitcher and position player unless your ballplayer was created as a two-way player from the outset. This choice is fixed, and there is currently no way to alter it mid-career.

Another limit is positional logic. You likely won't be allowed to switch to a dramatically different position unless it fits your ballplayer's archetype or physical build. For instance, a 6'6" first baseman is unlikely to be offered a permanent switch to shortstop or center field. The AI makes semi-realistic decisions based on what would be plausible in an actual player's career trajectory.

Proactive Options and Workarounds
If you don't want to wait for your agent or hope for an in-game meeting, you can take more immediate action by creating a new ballplayer. MLB The Show 25 allows users to maintain multiple RTTS careers simultaneously. You can assign a different primary position to the new character and even reuse the same archetype cards and equipment, meaning you don't need to start entirely from scratch.

For those who are deep into their RTTS career and don't want to begin again, another workaround involves waiting for your next team assignment or trade. Sometimes, being traded to a new team with different needs can prompt position-based opportunities, especially if your original team has a logjam at your current spot.

Summary
The position change system in MLB The Show 25 is subtle, immersive, and grounded in realism—but it's also slow and often outside the player's control. Those hoping for the freedom to switch roles like in past games may be frustrated, but the current structure is designed to reflect the professional baseball journey more accurately.

To maximize your chances, perform consistently, avoid simulating large stretches of your career, and respond favorably to agent and manager dialogues. Alternatively, take control by creating a new character with the position you actually want.

In the end, while the system lacks the flexibility some players desire, it does reward patience and engagement. And for those who plan carefully, MLB The Show 25 still provides all the tools necessary to craft your ideal career path—one position at a time.
