While hitting might steal the spotlight in *MLB The Show 25*, pitching is equally crucial for dominating on the field. Mastering pitch location can be challenging without the right setup, so here are the top pitching settings to help you excel on the mound.

Best Settings for Pitching in MLB The Show 25

Unlike hitting, which offers numerous options, pitching settings are straightforward but critical. Nailing these settings can mean the difference between a disastrous first inning or carrying a no-hitter into the seventh.

Pitching Interface

As in previous *MLB The Show* titles, Pinpoint remains the premier pitching interface in *MLB The Show 25*. It empowers you to control the ball's trajectory precisely. With Pinpoint, you draw unique lines for each pitch type, and the accuracy of your pitch hinges on how well you execute these lines.

Mastering Pinpoint can be time-consuming due to its strictness on errors. However, once you familiarize yourself with the various lines, it becomes second nature, enabling you to consistently hit the corners of the strike zone.

While other pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are less critical, experimenting with them can be beneficial. Keeping the Pitching Ball Marker on is advisable, as it helps maintain focus on pitch location.

Pitching View

As highlighted in The Escapist’s guide for hitting settings, Strike Zone 2 is the optimal view not just for hitting but also for pitching. This camera angle provides an intimate view of the batter, enhancing your ability to pinpoint pitch locations. With minimal room for error, Strike Zone 2, familiar from your hitting sessions, helps you target spots that challenge hitters.

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.
