Every pitcher in MLB The Show 25 is going to have a different pitching motion when delivering a pitch to home plate. Some pitchers have a more traditional windup with a smooth over-the-shoulder throw, while other pitchers use short-handed throws or different windups to try and throw off hitters. However, by far the most unique deliveries are those of sidearm and submarine pitchers in MLB The Show 25.

Sidearm and submarine pitchers are fairly rare in today’s MLB, as injury concerns with the strange motion have caused many pitchers to stick with traditional deliveries. There are still some pitchers going with the sidearm motion to throw pitches, though, and if you’re trying to disorient hitters in MLB The Show 25, they could be quite useful to you on the mound.

Below, we’ll go over every sidearm and submarine pitcher that’s usable in MLB The Show 25 as well as the different motions you can use for your created pitcher in Road to the Show.

Sidearm And Submarine Pitchers List In MLB The Show 25

As far as we can tell, there are only nine sidearm and submarine pitchers in MLB The Show 25. As we previously stated, this throwing motion is a dying art, as many of these pitchers are older veterans who are entrenched with this delivery. Below, you can see a list of all available sidearm and submarine pitchers:

• Adam Cimber
• Adam Kolarek
• Adam Ottavino
• Hoby Milner
• Justin Lawrence
• John Schreiber
• Ryan Thompson
• Tim Hill
• Tyler Rogers

Don’t ask me why nearly half of these pitches have the name “Adam,” maybe it’s a secret society we’re not privy to. All of these pitchers are active in the MLB today — yes, even the man named “Hoby” — and are usable in every mode aside from Road to the Show.

In terms of traditional sidearm pitchers, you’re looking at Adam Ottavino, John Schreiber, Tim Hill, etc. These pitchers definitely go sidearm, but they don’t dip down to a full submarine throwing motion. If you want to go that far, you want to use either Adam Cimber or Tyler Rogers. Rogers has the lowest submarine motion in the MLB, and it’s truly jarring to watch. Cimber goes low when he releases the ball, but not as low as Rogers.

Best Sidearm And Submarine Pitchers In MLB The Show 25

If you’re looking for the best pitchers with a sidearm or submarine delivery, there are a couple of notable guys to take a look at. As a note, all of the sidearm and submarine pitchers in the MLB are relievers.

The best overall submarine pitcher in MLB The Show 25 is Tyler Rogers of the San Francisco Giants. As we mentioned above, Rogers has arguably the most unique throwing motion in the Bigs, going down about as low as you can go to deliver a pitch. His hand almost touches the mound before he lets go of the ball, and if you’re playing Ranked or another online game, this is almost surely going to throw off your opponent for at least a couple of batters.

If Rogers isn’t your speed, though, you can also go with Ryan Thompson, who has turned his career around and put up solid numbers the past couple of years for the Diamondbacks. Thompson also has a submarine delivery, but it’s more of a traditional one compared to Rogers.

For those of you looking for a sidearm pitcher instead of the submarine delivery, John Schreiber is a consistent reliever with a not-too-jarring pitching motion. You could also go with veterans Adam Ottavino or Tim Hill, both of whom also have classic sidearm deliveries.

All Sidearm And Submarine Pitching Motions In MLB The Show 25

Finally, if you’re playing Road to the Show, you can make your created pitcher have a sidearm or submarine delivery. You can also change a pitcher’s throwing motion in Franchise Mode to any of the generic deliveries available in MLB The Show 25. There are several options to choose from, and you can see them below:

• Generic Stretch 35
• Generic Stretch 71

• Generic Stretch 151

You can go through all of these to find the ones that suit you best. However, there are some that are considered more “classic” for either a sidearm or submarine throwing motion.

And that does it for everything you need to know about side and submarine pitchers in MLB The Show 25. The delivery is getting less and less popular, and with some veterans likely retiring soon, the list of sidearm and submarine pitchers very well could shrink by MLB The Show 26 next year.
