When it comes to shutting down right-handed batters in MLB The Show 25, few pitches are as deadly as a well-placed slurve. This hybrid of a slider and curveball combines sharp break with deceptive speed, making it a nightmare for opponents. If you’re looking to dominate righties, here are the five best pitchers with elite slurves to add to your rotation or bullpen.
1. Corbin Burnes (Milwaukee Brewers)
Burnes has long been a meta favorite in MLB The Show, and his slurve in MLB The Show 25 is no exception. With a nasty late break and high control ratings, this pitch fools even the most disciplined right-handed hitters. Pair it with his cutter, and you’ve got a recipe for strikeouts.
2. Blake Snell (San Francisco Giants)
Snell’s slurve is one of the most visually deceptive in the game. The pitch starts on a seemingly hittable path before diving out of the zone, making righties chase. If you’re looking to

3. Tyler Glasnow (Los Angeles Dodgers)
Glasnow’s slurve benefits from his towering release point, creating a steep downward angle that’s tough to square up. Against right-handed batters, this pitch is borderline unfair, especially when located low and away.
4. Pablo López (Minnesota Twins)
López’s slurve might not have the same velocity as some others, but its movement is elite. It’s a great strikeout pitch when you need to put batters away with two strikes. If you’re grinding Diamond Dynasty, keep an eye out for his cards—they’re always sneaky good.
5. Kodai Senga (New York Mets)
Senga’s "ghost slurve" lives up to its name, disappearing mid-flight. Right-handed hitters struggle to track its late break, making it one of the most effective off-speed pitches in MLB The Show 25.
To maximize these pitchers, mix their slurves with high fastballs or sinkers to keep hitters guessing. And if you’re short on
