IRL there is a 1 and 325 chance you'll see a triple play, From 2000-10 only 35 triple plays have occured. So has anyone ever managed this rare baseball feat in MLB the Show. Is it even possible with the way the game is coded.

Re: Triple Play?
It absolutely is possible - on a grounder to third with the 3B playing on the line or fielding a ball to his right it can happen. I don't remember the year but I've definitely had at least one around the horn one - and with the improvements to double play turn animations in recent iterations it might be easier to pull off now.
Online I've had several over the years, usually taking advantage of stupidly aggressive baserunning.

Re: Triple Play?
I don’t have video proof sadly but I had one this year. Runners on 1st and 3rd. Miguel Cabrera at bat. He hit an absolute rocket to 3rd. Momentum led me straight to a force out at 3rd base. Threw to second base for the second out and then threw out miggy (0 rating speed) at first.
I have also thrown out miggy at 1st from right field lol

Re: Triple Play?
I've pulled off plenty online but it's near impossible offline. I can barely get a 3rd to 1st double play.

Re: Triple Play?
I turned one in ‘18
I’ve hit into two thus far in ‘20
One legit where I hit hard grounder to third with pitcher after failing to get bunt down. 3rd baseman playing bunt fielded stepped on 3rd then threw to 2nd and then 1st.
Other was hit and run with 2 on and hit liner to shortstop

Re: Triple Play?
I turned one. The CPU was trying to pull off a hit and run, and lined it right to the SS who was moving to cover the bag, just stepped on 2nd and tossed to 1st. Come to think of it I could have pulled off an unassisted triple play had i thought to just tag the runner, running to 2nd...

Re: Triple Play?
My auto fielding defense has turned two over the course of six seasons of my franchise, one in '17 and one in '20.
The first was a rocket groundball to Brandon Phillips at 3rd, who tagged the runner heading for 3rd, threw to Albies at 2nd, who then relayed to Freeman at 1st.
The second was on an a line drive out to Swanson at SS during an attempted hit and run by the CPU. Swanson caught it, flipped to Yanio Perez at 2nd, and Perez flipped it to Freddie at first.
I've run into a few triple plays myself, but usually that's been due to careless baserunning.Comment

Re: Triple Play?
Unfortunately, I do not have video proof so you can believe me or not I don't care because I saw it happen, it was man on 1 and 2, second year twins franchise, grounder to Josh Donaldson, he hit the bag and threw to polanco, who turned and threw to sano to throw out yadi molina going to firstComment

Re: Triple Play?
Forget which MLB version it was but I turned one a couple years ago. I still don't know how or what happened lol. CPU had bases loaded no outs next thing I know I'm out of the inning. I think it was a hard liner or grounder to SS and I threw to 2nd then first think I got a DP. My guess is runner on second got tagged before I threw it to second but don't really know, it happened so fast lol.Comment
