How to unlock the Bring in the Closer! achievement in MLB The Show 22 - Definitive Guide

A quick method to obtain this achievement is available in a moment located within the Faces of the Franchise program in Diamond Dynasty.

Navigate to Diamond Dynasty -> Play -> Programs -> Faces of the Franchise -> Featured Program Moments -> Clase Closed

In the moment you're player locked as Emmanuel Clase, a closer for the Guardians and immediately pitching in the bottom of the 9th during a save situation. The requirements to finish the moment are not related to the achievement, just complete it without blowing the save.

There is a little catch to this particular moment as it will only be available until April 29th then it'll disappear - leaving this guide only worthwhile to those very early in the game cycle, however as the game is updated throughout the MLB season, there will be other moments where a save opportunity is available to play and earn in this fashion.

If a thumbs down is left, please explain why in the comments for further help.

Rainman998899's solution still works as of late March 2023; the menus have changed though. Instead of going through "Other Programs" go directly to "Topps Moments" and click on the date range that contains the May 15 date. I was a little lost trying to find "May Monthly Awards" in "Other Programs" (it shows up in the "Other Programs" menu but it gives you an error if you try to click into it).

Just a note here that you have to finish the Diamond Dynasty tutorial before you can access the Featured Program Moments.

As @Fightclxb said you will have to do the tutorial, but step 4 of the tutorial is a save with your closer, so you don't have to finish the entire tutorial as the achievement will pop before step five.

For future reference for others, this does not count in March To October. I just earned a save with my closer and it didn't count.

I'll try this method, I've been earning saves with my close in my franchise but it will not pop.

**Edit** - Got this using the Case Closed program, thanks for posting!

The featured moment changed, but you can still do it right now if you pick the Zack Britton moment.

Writing this on 5/21/2022, go to "Programs" and then click on the box on the right titled "Other Programs". Then click on the box titled "May Monthly Awards" then go to "Topps Now Week 2 Moments" and "May 15: Pirates Win Without a Hit" works to unlock this achievement!

A closer is going to be your best reliever and specializes in getting the final outs of a game. Their position will be denoted as CP in your bullpen roster.

A save for a pitcher is earned by entering in the ninth (or third for three inning games) inning of a game in which his team is winning by three or fewer runs and finishing the game by pitching one inning without losing the lead.

So you're going to:
  • Bring in your CP in the final inning of your game where you're already wining by 3 runs or less
  • Have them hold onto the lead to win the game
There's going to be many "Moments" over the scheduled calendar that you can achieve this with. Or hop into a game like Conquest in Diamond Dynasty and knock it out. Rookie difficulty is easiest.

Other guides are not accurate.

Do a 9 inning game. Doesn’t matter the score as long as you have the lead. I got this winning 11-0. Once you get to the 7th inning, sub in YOUR CLOSER. Have him pitch the next 3 innings.

When your closer pitches the last 3 innings it counts as a save regardless of how many runs you are leading by. To be safe I warmed him up the inning before and I was the home team at yankee stadium playing the pirates. Worked first time.

Make sure the closer pitches the 7th, 8th and 9th.

Did you play a full game of 9 innings. Or did you simulate up until the 7th?

Don’t know why there are thumbs down here, great solution. This takes away the pressure of leaving your lead short despite working on other achievements. Drop your closer into the 7th and you will get the save.

It’s because they don’t understand baseball rules probably. The 3 inning save works well. Thanks for the positive feedback^

I mean, if the devs programmed the game correctly, then this should work. There are two ways a pitcher can earn a "save" in real life: Either pitch the final inning with a 3-run or less lead and not lose the lead OR pitch the last 3 FULL innings of a game and win, regardless of score as long as it's a win.

You will need to complete a game and win to unlock this achievement. You can play on the easiest difficulty and adjust sliders in your favor. You have to bring in a different pitcher in the 9th inning and have him "Close" the game (get the last three outs and not allow the other team to win). You need to make sure you are only winning by 2 or 3 runs to make that situation count as a save. Once you win the game the achievement will unlock.
