MLB The Show 21 offers one of the best career modes among the major sports titles. This is largely due to different roads players will take in order to make the Major Leagues and the customization options within.

Choose a team in need of your desired position
You’ll have the choice to select the team you want to be drafted to and a good tip is to pick a team that needs a player in the position you are playing in. Take the Detroit Tigers or Baltimore Orioles, for example, they are both young teams, with a lot of spots available for Pitchers and Positions players.
This will lead you to climb the ranks faster if you’re playing well, and it could lead to a promotion within a year or so.
Use perks to increase your overall rating
Over the course of the game, you’ll unlock certain perks and archetypes for your player, and you’ll also have the option to purchase perks from the community market.
These drastically affect some of your ratings within the game and, using a combination of certain ones such as Velocity, Power, and Control, can increase your overall immensely.
