Best Settings for Pitching in MLB The Show 25

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

Pitching Interface

As in previous *MLB The Show* titles, Pinpoint remains the top choice for pitching interface in *MLB The Show 25*. It offers the most control, allowing you to direct the ball precisely where you intend. With Pinpoint, you draw specific lines for each pitch type, and your accuracy depends on how well you trace these lines.

While mastering Pinpoint can take time due to its unforgiving nature, once you get the hang of it, pitching on the edges of the strike zone becomes second nature. Feel free to experiment with other pitching settings, but keeping the Pitching Ball Marker on is advisable to help maintain pitch location awareness.

Pitching View

If you've read The Escapist's guide on hitting settings, you're familiar with Strike Zone 2 as the best Hitting View. This view is equally effective for pitching, offering an up-close perspective of the batter that simplifies pitch location. With minimal room for error, Strike Zone 2 helps you pinpoint pitches that can make hitters uncomfortable, especially since you're already accustomed to this view from hitting.

These are the optimal pitching settings for *MLB The Show 25* that can elevate your game on the mound.

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