Quality Start MLB The Show 23 is credited when the pitcher throws at least 6 innings and allows only three ER or fewer. The stat is for starting pitchers only.

The job of a starting pitcher is to prevent the opposition from scoring runs and striking out the batters. The Quality Start stat helps to measure whether the pitcher performed a quality job in those two metrics.

Getting a quality start in the video game is difficult as fans must pitch for six innings precisely. This is one of the hardest tasks to perform in the game.

Here are some tips on getting a quality start:

1. Select the best pitching settings that suit your comfort and preference.
2. Use the best pitches and use variation, as different types of pitches have different control, break, and velocity.
3. Throw pitches toward the corner of the strike zone, as the location is one of the key factors in earning a Quality Start.
4. Manage the fatigue and stamina of the pitcher, as less stamina affects the effectiveness of the pitches.

Matt Waldron MLB The Show 23 is one of the pitchers who can be used as a starting pitcher to earn a Quality Start. He is one of the few knuckleball pitchers in the video game.

The pitcher made his MLB debut for the Padres on June 23, 2023. Although Waldron has an OVR of 64, his knuckleball makes him one of the most difficult players to score against in the video game.
