In MLB the Show 23, the dream of making your way through the minor leagues and becoming an MLB star can be a reality with Road to the Show. The trick is to pick the right position for the right team. For example, you may not want to choose right field for the New York Yankees as Aaron Judge, a 99 overall, has that locked down for almost the next decade.
But if you get traded or your team brings in someone you weren’t aware of, there are really two options. The first is to request a trade, which is less than ideal if you like the team you’re on. The second option is to change positions, which is hard to do but is possible.

How do I change positions in MLB’s The Show 23 Road to the Show?
Whether it’s because your team has a player at your position or you just don’t want to play defense there anymore, you are able to change your position in MLB the Show 23. Road to the Show allows you a few options when it comes to making this adjustment. This feature is not in other game modes.
Your agent will occasionally call in to check on you. When he does, you will have the option to say you want to change your baseball position. He’ll ask if you want to move forward being a two-way player like Shohei Ohtani and you can decline and say you want to change your original position. You can be one of the team’s pitchers or a position player from there.
You can also sit down with the manager and say you’d like to change positions. This isn’t a guaranteed change, but it can work. Equipping the appropriate skill set for your desired position helps this case, too.
Finally, the only 100% guarantee when it comes to changing your current playing position is by starting anew. No one truly wants to head back to any AA team when they were just in the majors, but this is a workaround to always change positions in the video game.
Plus, all the equipment and the abilities you unlocked will still be there, keeping your player better to start out and making your journey to the major leagues shorter. This is possible on both Xbox Series X and PlayStation as the games are the same.
