Best Settings for Pitching in MLB The Show 25
Unlike hitting, which offers numerous options, pitching settings are simpler yet pivotal. Mastering these can mean the difference between a rough first inning and pitching a no-hitter into the seventh.

| Pinpoint |
As in previous *MLB The Show* games, Pinpoint remains the top choice for pitching interface in *MLB The Show 25*. It gives you full control over where the ball goes, requiring you to draw specific lines for each pitch. The accuracy of your pitch depends on how well you draw these lines.
Mastering Pinpoint can take time due to its strictness on errors, but once you get the hang of it, pitching accurately becomes second nature. While other pitching settings are less critical, keeping the Pitching Ball Marker on can help you keep track of pitch locations more effectively.

| Strike Zone 2 |
If you've read The Escapist's guide on hitting settings, you know that Strike Zone 2 is the best Hitting View. This view remains optimal for pitching as well, providing an up-close perspective of the batter that simplifies pitch location. With minimal room for error, and since you're familiar with this view from hitting, you'll know exactly where to aim to make batters uncomfortable.
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.
