MLB The Show 22

This is very easy to do with Ohtani with the Angels, there is no need to create or edit a player.

Game Settings
- Type: Exhibition
- Teams: [H] Rangers [A] Angels
- Stadium: Fenway Park (shortest right field porch)
- Choose any date or time, just make sure the weather is clear

Execution
- Move Angels DH Justin Upton from 5th in the lineup to 1st (leadoff)
- Start game
- Before a pitch is thrown, make a substitution. (START > MANAGER > SUBSTITUTION)
- Substitute (Pinch Hit) Ohtani for Upton, clicking YES to the warning of forfeiting the DH
- Bat with Ohtani as the first batter of the game
- If you do not get a home run in the first at bat, simply restart the game (START > EXIT > CONFIRM RESTART)
- On restart, insure that you re-make the substitution of Upton for Ohtani

You choose the Rangers because they are the lowest ranked team that starts with a right-handed pitcher, and Ohtani bats left. Any team that starts with a RP would work just fine. Astros with Verlander is an example.

As soon as you hit the home run, you get the achievement so no need to ever even pitch with Ohtani. It took me just two restarts to pop the achievement on rookie dynamic level.

To save a little time and cut down on the setting swapping, this achievement is obtainable by doing a moment in the Babe Ruth program found in Diamond Dynasty.

Navigate to Diamond Dynasty -> Play -> Programs -> Other Programs -> Starter Babe Ruth -> Moments -> Ohtanison Wins MVP

In the moment you're player locked as Shohei Ohtani (you will play as Ohanti - only taking his at bats and pitching) and the goal is to get one hit and pitch two innings, however for this achievement you will need to hit a homerun. If the moment is completed without hitting a homerun it can be infinitely replayed.

The moment is set on Rookie difficulty, Ohtani immediately bats (if no homerun is hit, it is possible to just restart the moment by the pause menu then going to Exit -> Confirm Restart - there is no need to pitch unless you're wanting to complete the moment).

As for the hitting of a homerun, look for a pitch up in the strike zone and power swing away until Ohtantison gets a dinger.

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

This achieve is worded weirdly but I can confirm simply homering with Shohei Ohtani will make it pop. I just did it in exhibition.

Unfortunately this achievement cannot be unlocked in Home Run Derby and a inside the park HR also does not count. I tried with my cousin yesterday and it didn’t unlock. I believe that it has to be a valid HR. Easier way to get this is to play on Polo Grounds with Ohtani and aim for the shorter side of the park.
