Every BR draft includes one Common player. The general rule? Use it on MLB 25 Stubs a fifth starter, someone you'll never actually put on the mound.

Since you can skip over your fifth man in the rotation and your ace regains stamina every few games, this is a smart throwaway pick that won't impact your chances of winning.

Alternatively, if your rotation is already set, consider spending the Common slot on:

    A speedy bench player for pinch running

    A right-handed reliever to eat emergency innings

But in most cases, burning this pick on a useless starter is the way to go.

Balance Is Key: Mix Lefties, Righties, and Switch-Hitters

Handedness matters, in your lineup and your bullpen. Always aim for a balanced mix of right-handed and left-handed hitters, along with a few switch-hitters if possible.

Here's why: you'll regularly face bullpens stacked with either righties or lefties. Without variety in your lineup, you risk running into an arm that neutralizes half your hitters.

Similarly, your bullpen should feature at least one or two lefties with solid pitch mixes. These arms are especially rare in lower tiers, so don't hesitate to MLB The Show 25 Stubs for sale grab a decent lefty even if he's Bronze-rated.
