This isn’t as difficult as it sounds. Choose a ground ball pitcher and set your team as the home team so you pitch first.
I chose Dallas Kuechel with the White Sox vs the Astros, as they are aggressive hitters. List of ground ball outs by pitcher - https://www.teamrankings.com/mlb/player-stat/ground-ball-out...
Just intentionally walk the first batter of the game/inning (LB+B). Then throw inside sinkers to try and get ground balls. Don’t get outs if they aren’t ground balls. Let fly balls and foul balls drop to increase your chances.
If you don’t get the double play ball in the first inning, just restart the game (START > EXIT > CONFIRM RESTART). Rinse/repeat until you get a double play ball in the first inning, then use the next 8 innings to try and do it again.
Don’t forget to restart once you get two outs! You can simulate your batting half-innings to speed up the game - but only the early innings. If your pitch count is high the auto manager can substitute you.
I got this in about 15 minutes of trying - I got it by the 3rd inning.

Thanks man, was trying this the last few days and couldn't get it, but got it in my 3rd inning as well.

Literally got this my first attempt in inning one and two with this strategy. Maybe 5 minutes. Great guide!

The quickest way to get this is create a player with a Fielding architype in Road to the Show, and choose Shortstop as your position. This took about 10 mins.
In the RTTS settings, make sure Gameflow is set to "Skip to Next Appearance". You'll skip all plays that don't involve you as a fielder and multiple times a game there's a double play opportunity. If for some reason the game doesn't present the opportunity to turn two through 9 innings, they only run 5-10 mins long and it's easy enough to try in the next game.
You can also pop on all pieces of equipment that offer Fielding and Reaction bonuses first, throwing and accuracy bonuses secondary if you choose.
Play on Casual, I find the "Buttons" easiest in RTTS Throwing Interface setting, turn off the ShowTime.
I booted up RTTS to get some clips for this solution and got it again on my first try.
6-4-3 the first play, 4-6-3 the second double

The idea behind this achievement is to turn (2) double plays in the same game. A double play is while there is a runner on first you throw a ball to second (getting the force out) and then throw it to first to get 2 outs in the same play. It's a lot easier than it sounds.
As the NL All Stars at home you'll want to play against a Minor league team (press
on the away team select). I also recommend adjusting all sliders to the left for baserunning speed.
As the home team you will pitch first. Walk the first batter and then throw some curveballs or changeups low in the strike zone. This should cause a ground ball to your infield. Simply throw it to 2nd base and then 1st. Do this twice in a game (over several innings) and the achievement will unlock. You DO NOT have to complete the game.
