There's a new sensation taking over MLB The Show 24, and his name is Matt Waldron. While he may be a rising star in the San Diego Padres, it's his virtual counterpart in Diamond Dynasty that has players talking. Waldron's knuckleball has become a game-changer, causing chaos in the marketplace as players scramble to add him to their teams.
Breaking the Game with a Unique Skill
Despite being just a 72 overall player, Waldron's knuckleball has made him a force to be reckoned with. With an impressive 97 rating in Break, his signature pitch is wreaking havoc on opponents both online and offline. Even though his overall rating can be increased with Parallel XP, it's clear that Waldron's knuckleball is the real star of the show.
Developers were well aware of the knuckleball's potential, as evidenced by its exclusion from online play in past iterations of the game. However, Waldron has managed to break the mold and use this pitch to his advantage, outperforming all expectations in MLB The Show 24.
The Marketplace Frenzy
As seen on the Diamond Dynasty marketplace, Waldron is in high demand with over 5,800 active orders at maximum sale price. Some players have even taken to the forums to voice their concerns over the situation, speculating that the pitch animation itself may be the root cause of Waldron's dominance.
With precise pitching controls in MLB The Show 24, Waldron's knuckleball has become a nightmare for batters to hit. The ability to strategically place this pitch with accuracy has elevated Waldron to the status of knuckleball king in the game.
