Our MLB The Show 17 Player Quirks Guide details all of the Quirks in MLB The Show 17. What each Quirk does and their impact on PCI. Quirks are very specific traits assigned to a player based on real-life data which give the player a bonus when triggered.

For example Anthony Rizzo has the Breaking Ball Hitter quirk, which means he excels at hitting curves, sliders, and other breaking pitches. When you’re playing as Rizzo, you’ll want to look for breaking pitches to hammer, since you’ll get a hitting bonus when swinging at these types of pitches. There are tons of different Quirks for both pitchers and position players, and in addition to changing the way you go about at-bats, and also change the way you construct your roster. See the full list Quirks detailed below..
