Best Settings for Pitching in MLB The Show 25

Unlike the myriad options for hitting, pitching settings are straightforward but crucial. Mastering these can mean the difference between a disastrous first inning and a no-hitter into the seventh.

Pitching Interface

As with previous *MLB The Show* titles, Pinpoint remains the top choice for pitching interface in *MLB The Show 25*. It empowers you to control the ball's trajectory precisely by drawing specific lines for each pitch. The accuracy of your pitch depends on how well you draw these lines. While mastering Pinpoint can be challenging due to its strictness on errors, once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to consistently throw pitches right on the edge of the strike zone.

Other pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are less critical than the Pitching Interface. Feel free to experiment with them, but keeping the Pitching Ball Marker on is advisable to help maintain focus on pitch location.

Pitching View

If you've explored The Escapist's guide on hitting settings, you'll recognize 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 target spots that make hitters uncomfortable, especially since you're already familiar with this view from hitting.

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