While hitting is often the highlight of *MLB The Show 25*, pitching is equally crucial to your success on the field. Mastering pitch location can be challenging, but with the right settings, you can dominate from the mound. Here are the optimal pitching settings to elevate your game in *MLB The Show 25*.

Best Settings for Pitching in MLB The Show 25

Unlike hitting, which offers numerous options, pitching settings are straightforward yet pivotal. Mastering these can mean the difference between a disastrous first inning and a no-hitter into the seventh.

Pitching Interface

In *MLB The Show 25*, as in previous editions, Pinpoint remains the top choice for pitching interface. This setting empowers you to control the ball's trajectory precisely by drawing specific lines for each pitch. The accuracy of your pitch hinges on how well you trace these lines. While mastering Pinpoint can be time-consuming due to its strictness on errors, once you get the hang of it, pitching on the edges of the strike zone becomes second nature.

While other pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are less critical, experimenting with them can be beneficial. However, keeping the Pitching Ball Marker on is advisable to maintain a clear view of your pitch location.

Pitching View

As recommended in The Escapist's hitting settings guide for *MLB The Show 25*, Strike Zone 2 is also the best choice for pitching. This view provides an intimate perspective of the batter, making it easier to pinpoint your pitches. With minimal room for error, Strike Zone 2 helps you exploit hitters' weaknesses, especially since you're already familiar with this view from batting.

These are the best pitching settings to enhance your performance in *MLB The Show 25*.

*MLB The Show 25 is now available in Early Access on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.*
