Rookie incentive round is for teams that win ROY - that's why it was O's (Gunnar) and DBacks (Corbin Caroll). Y'all could nail that award and the free pick in 2025 with Colson or another guy who's still in the minors. I don't know how it's programmed in The Show for MVP & Cy Young, but teams can also get a free pick from one of their developed guys winning one of those awards. Meant to stop service time manipulation (not calling guys up for a month or so to make sure you get another year of team control). Kinda cool imo and an incentive for teams to actually call up good players. Still didn't stop the O's with Holliday (allegedly, of course)
For the record, Elmer Jimenez (the 1B that went to the Yankees) is probably going to suck. Yes he has some crazy pop; he also has a crazy inability to make contact with the ball, see the ball, and swing at good pitches. Doesn’t matter how far you can hit the ball if you can’t hit it to begin with.
Kenny, my wife and children have been huddled in the corner for an entire day. They’ve whined and whimpered at me, asking when we will finally be fed, I could not answer them until now. Your White Sox franchise has fed families, including mine! Thank you Kenny!
players with low OVR but high potential can still make an impact. They just need time in the minors to hone their game. They will be something, it will take about 4-5 years until they make the show. Happens all the time.
AHT i know i said to fix some numbers last video but Akil Badoo rocks #60 with pride so let him have it once again another banger i’m lovin this series so far
I would take the bat if you want a left fielder they don’t need arm and the glove as much but you could move the glove and the speed guy to center field and he would be more valuable there with the defense and speed
Like some people have already said, turn managing on manual. Calling people up then sending them down wastes their option on their contract. Some players have to go through waivers because their contract doesn't have any more.
Kenny might just be the most likable person ever. Loving these videos. Hoping you bring a World Series trophy to the south side by the end of the decade.
I liked the idea to player lock the series. Also loved the orioles series and whatever you do I’ll watch in this one cause of how you make it interesting and fun to watch.
I enjoy watching this series and your MLB The Show franchise. I wish you the best of luck with your season and franchise. I really do hope u get the win cause you are doing an amazing job with your franchises. I also am a huge franchise person when it comes to The Show and do believe that you will have success in your franchise. I look forward to and can’t wait for the u episode #KeepTheSeriesGoing #WatchTilTheEnd #AlwaysLeaveALike
Kenny, when evaluating hitters, On Base Percentage is the most important stat. Therefore, discipline is the most important attribute to look at because it doesn’t matter whether a hitter gets a hit or walks, they are still getting on base.
Biggest thing to learn about drafting in MLB The Show is to draft high potential. But you can't draft guys who aren't good enough in the now to play in your farm system. So you shoot for a minimum starting overall of 60+ so you can put them in Double A or Triple A. Cause if they don't play they aren't gonna reach that big potential they have. As far as I'd draft, Props to Kenny following that exact ideal and pointing out in the later rounds that taking the lower overalls is a risk, But there's no way to play someone in their 50's in overall. Let alone a 49 overall guy. So in all honesty his last 2 picks weren't great but there wasn't anyone else scouted, So it makes sense.
Hey Kenny, if you turn on Manual for roster management and at least the MLB Only option if not Manual for injury management, It still allows you to let CPU auto fix it for you, but it gives you the pop up when it happens. For example, Edgar Quero is going to be out 1-2 months: Auto, 15-IL, 60-IL. From there you can hit auto and then go move someone up that you deem best for the experience for you!
PPI picks are essentially compensation picks a team can get for how fast top prospects make the majors and how well they perform… winning awards. There’s a menu selection “PPI list” that shows which prospects qualify. Definitely pay attention to that
I wouldn’t call up Navarro for at least one season even though he’ll be a higher overall. Let him develop thru AA and AAA. Also for future reference, you should turn on contracts and negotiate them for draft picks on your own, it’s not difficult and you can turn it off once you finish. Side Note: Day 3 of asking for Tim Hill to make the major league bullpen (sidearm lefty specialist)
The only other team in mlb history who started 0-4 with 40+ strikeouts and 8 or fewer runs scored was the 2021 Braves who went on to win the World Series. White Sox World Series incoming 😮💨
I would suggest setting everything to manual, the ai keeps bringing guys up to the mlb. You can only send down to AAA and bring back up 3 times!! After that if you try to send someone down again they are placed on waivers and other teams can claim them. Another thing is you will get to fully control your lineups without the ai changing them game to game, this is especially useful for your prospects in the minors, you want them to get as many AB’s as possible!!
“Best fastball in all of basketball” -Kenny 2024
lmaooo
That would belong to Motown Noah
Inbound alley-oops with that fastball
Came to the comments to see if anyone else caught it to lol
😂🤣😂🤣
33:22 there is no way the A’s drafted a guy named Jack Hoff 💀
Nah💀💀💀
New RTTS name
New kahoot name just dropped
White Sox franchise feeds families
🙏🏽🙏🏽
His baseball franchises in general
Fr at least we won a game this season
24:46 Kevin Durant goes 1 pick before 😢
mike moustakas to single A lmfao 😭💀
😂😂😂
Kenny: discover prospect is super useful, but pretty much only if you do international
thank you for also letting me know lol. I didn't know that.
I have good luck with other places too
Kenny u have so much time on those player lock infield throws you don’t need to rush at all

Please keep doing this series Kenny
For the record, Elmer Jimenez (the 1B that went to the Yankees) is probably going to suck. Yes he has some crazy pop; he also has a crazy inability to make contact with the ball, see the ball, and swing at good pitches. Doesn’t matter how far you can hit the ball if you can’t hit it to begin with.
buddy this isnt irl
@@gavinday8998yes, and in The Show franchise simming, contact is the number one most important stat for hitters doing well, and for winning games.
@@skalty9868ya contact and disciple are easily the 2 most important. I’ve seen guys put up 8 WAR seasons with power in the 40s/50s
You need to turn on manual roster management
Kenny, my wife and children have been huddled in the corner for an entire day. They’ve whined and whimpered at me, asking when we will finally be fed, I could not answer them until now. Your White Sox franchise has fed families, including mine! Thank you Kenny!
I enjoy the player lock aspect, gives it a Road to the Show vibe but it’s not just some random AAA guy, it’s our man Joseph Ortiz.
players with low OVR but high potential can still make an impact. They just need time in the minors to hone their game. They will be something, it will take about 4-5 years until they make the show. Happens all the time.
please keep this going bro this easily the most fun ive had watching a series
AHT i know i said to fix some numbers last video but Akil Badoo rocks #60 with pride so let him have it
once again another banger i’m lovin this series so far
Kenny, look at WHIP (walks and hits per inning pitched). Smaller number the better. It better represents how your pitchers are doing.
I would take the bat if you want a left fielder they don’t need arm and the glove as much but you could move the glove and the speed guy to center field and he would be more valuable there with the defense and speed
“Fastest pitch in basketball” is why I watch this channel
10 clutch on Molina is wild
one of those youtubers where the full 30 something minutes is worth watching
Like some people have already said, turn managing on manual. Calling people up then sending them down wastes their option on their contract.
Some players have to go through waivers because their contract doesn't have any more.
my new favorite seris
DAWG JUST TAKE YOUR TIME AND PUT IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CIRCLE. You realize that it basically freezes when you're throwing the ball.
We not gonna just skip over Kevin Durant lmao 23:57
I always have something to watch while I eat or am about to go to sleep or just in general keep this series going god bless brother 🙏🏾
Perfect timing, literally just finished ep 4 lol
Same lol
Who asked.
Kenny I don’t know anything about baseball but this series is 100% refreshing coming from 2k
Ortiz played last year so you already weren’t gonna play his debut
loving the series so far, KEEP IT UP! ]cant wait for more uploads!
Just a tip if you press triangle when simulating through days it will do it automatically instead of pressing multiple buttons
love the way this series is going, keep it up kenny
Kenny might just be the most likable person ever. Loving these videos. Hoping you bring a World Series trophy to the south side by the end of the decade.
Kenny just wanted to say I love that you love this series. As a long time viewer and a Sox fan I can’t wait for that World Series 🙌
love the series kenny!!!
I liked the idea to player lock the series. Also loved the orioles series and whatever you do I’ll watch in this one cause of how you make it interesting and fun to watch.
So hyped Kenny brought the series back.
Let's go we love this series
Great series!

Love these vids bro.
This series is fantastic. I am a noob to mlb so learning with you
Been waiting for Episode 5 best series
It’s a good day when Kenny uploads
Big W from Kenny as always
I enjoy watching this series and your MLB The Show franchise. I wish you the best of luck with your season and franchise. I really do hope u get the win cause you are doing an amazing job with your franchises. I also am a huge franchise person when it comes to The Show and do believe that you will have success in your franchise. I look forward to and can’t wait for the u episode #KeepTheSeriesGoing #WatchTilTheEnd #AlwaysLeaveALike
One person I recommend that Kenny should go get is Nolan Gorman. He is a sim god, and develops very nicely into a great player
Kenny, when evaluating hitters, On Base Percentage is the most important stat. Therefore, discipline is the most important attribute to look at because it doesn’t matter whether a hitter gets a hit or walks, they are still getting on base.
This series carry’s 2024
You can change the settings for player lock so you don’t have to do the base running or the fielding
Biggest thing to learn about drafting in MLB The Show is to draft high potential. But you can't draft guys who aren't good enough in the now to play in your farm system. So you shoot for a minimum starting overall of 60+ so you can put them in Double A or Triple A. Cause if they don't play they aren't gonna reach that big potential they have.

Let alone a 49 overall guy. So in all honesty his last 2 picks weren't great but there wasn't anyone else scouted, So it makes sense.
Bro is going crazy another episode already
Kenny the type of dude to say touchdown when someone hits a honerun
i wouldn’t be too upset kenny this wasn’t a great draft i think you made solid picks
kenny you should turn on manual roster management so the cpu does not keep on bringing up locklear
Lets gooooo we are back Ladies and Gentlemen⚡️
Kenny with the basketball stuff at 20:12
Hey Kenny, if you turn on Manual for roster management and at least the MLB Only option if not Manual for injury management, It still allows you to let CPU auto fix it for you, but it gives you the pop up when it happens. For example, Edgar Quero is going to be out 1-2 months: Auto, 15-IL, 60-IL. From there you can hit auto and then go move someone up that you deem best for the experience for you!
Kenny you got me watching the White Sox now. Dbacks fan but now I’m a huge fan of Crochet
“Nah…. He don’t got pop…. (Transitions to Navarro) HE GOT POP!” - Kenny 2024.
Best believe I’m here early. MLB franchise is the best series
16:45 I would bump Shultz fastball velocity up to the mid/upper 90s. The dude can touch 98 pretty easily so 91 velocity is criminally low
Joey Ortiz plays on the Brewers, was in the Corbin Burnes trade. Was a top 100 prospect on the orioles. You pronounce his name like David Ortiz
yo fieldin is insane..
Best fastball in all of basketball killed me😭😭😭😭
I’ve never been this early before
Slow down on defense Kenny!! You got time!
Lets gooooo he drafted an Eli
Ortiz is a shortstop btw, he plays 3rd in game bc of Adames
Hey Kenny you can sim day by day by pressing triangle on ps5 or Y on Xbox
I don’t know if I can let the MOOSE hate slide Kenny.
😂i hope Kenny found out you can simulate to your next pick in the draft
Hopefully next year there’s a generational!
Kenny you need to do a Minecraft series
Ayyy you got my boy joey ortiz
Really good hit tool and amazing defense. Just got burried in the o’s farm system
And yes joey ortiz was top 100
Not a race baiter I promise, it’s just really nice to see a black man in this space. Keep up the great work bro. Versatility now, $ later.
PPI picks are essentially compensation picks a team can get for how fast top prospects make the majors and how well they perform… winning awards. There’s a menu selection “PPI list” that shows which prospects qualify. Definitely pay attention to that
Really enjoy watching this series you should try getting more from your trades tho. The giants were willing to give up more assets in the hicks trade
Good pickup woth Jordan hicks
joey ortiz made an insane play at third today and yesterday
29:07 Jackson Holiday was on the trade block. You should trade for him next year
you should give garrett crochet a cutter! he only has a three pitch mix in the show but he added a cutter this season
Hi Kenny!!!!
dont overthinkl potential....its never the lowest when you 100 percent a prospect
We need a Kenny RTTS
turn roster moves on manual so it stops moving guys like Colson up
I wouldn’t call up Navarro for at least one season even though he’ll be a higher overall. Let him develop thru AA and AAA. Also for future reference, you should turn on contracts and negotiate them for draft picks on your own, it’s not difficult and you can turn it off once you finish.
Side Note: Day 3 of asking for Tim Hill to make the major league bullpen (sidearm lefty specialist)
Also, they’re gonna keep calling people up for you so you should probably just turn off automatic roster moves
The only other team in mlb history who started 0-4 with 40+ strikeouts and 8 or fewer runs scored was the 2021 Braves who went on to win the World Series. White Sox World Series incoming 😮💨
I would suggest setting everything to manual, the ai keeps bringing guys up to the mlb. You can only send down to AAA and bring back up 3 times!!

someone gotta tell kenny the white sox top prospect colston montgomery is also a hooper
It helps to follow the ball with the pci instead of yanking it to where the ball is.
Jack Hoff LOL
HE BETTER DRAFT KEVIN DURANT
You should turn everything onto manual in your setting so they don’t call up your prospects you wanna do a player lock debut on
Check on Kevin Durant he was on the Rockies
