Best Settings for Pitching in MLB The Show 25

Unlike the myriad of options available for hitting, pitching settings are more straightforward but no less impactful. Fine-tuning these settings 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 iterations, the Pinpoint interface remains the top choice for pitching. It empowers you to control the ball's trajectory precisely by drawing specific lines for each pitch type. The accuracy of your pitch hinges on how well you trace these lines. While mastering Pinpoint can be daunting due to its strictness on errors, once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to place pitches with pinpoint accuracy consistently.

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

Pitching View

As recommended in The Escapist's hitting settings guide, Strike Zone 2 is also the best choice for pitching. This view offers an intimate perspective of the batter, facilitating precise pitch placement. With minimal room for error, Strike Zone 2 helps you target the spots that make hitters uncomfortable, leveraging your familiarity with this view from batting.

These are the best pitching settings to enhance your performance in *MLB The Show 25*. With these adjustments, you'll be well on your way to mastering the art of pitching.
