Spring has sprung, and with it comes the crack of the bat and the release of MLB The Show 25 from San Diego Studio! While this year's game promises a lot, mastering hitting will still require some fine-tuning. Let's dive into the best hitting settings to help you crush those dingers.

After you've finished the MLB The Show 25 intro, the first stop should be the settings menu. There's a wealth of options to personalize your batting experience, but it can feel overwhelming. Let's simplify things.

| Zone |
Like its predecessors, Zone hitting reigns supreme in MLB The Show 25. It offers maximum control, letting you freely maneuver your PCI (Power Contact Indicator) within the batter's box. While this might seem daunting at first, the control is invaluable when that curveball hangs just a little too long.
PCI Settings
| **Best PCI Settings in MLB The Show 25** |
| PCI Center – Bat |
| PCI Inner – None |
| PCI Outer – None |
| PCI Color – Yellow |
| PCI Opacity – 80% |
| PCI Fadeout – None |
Finding the perfect PCI settings is personal, but this setup aims for simplicity, visualizing the ball's contact point by making the PCI look like a bat. Mastering that sweet spot on the barrel will come with practice, but this setup makes the process smoother.
Adjust the Color and Opacity settings based on game time. Yellow works well for day games, but consider Blue or Green for night games.
Experiment with the new PCI Anchor settings; they let you adjust the PCI's anchor point based on the batter and pitcher. While we didn't find a huge impact, your mileage may vary.

| Strike Zone 2 |
While the PCI is crucial, your camera view is equally important. A camera positioned too far back can be distracting. Strike Zone 2 provides the ideal balance, placing you right in the action.
These are the best hitting settings for MLB The Show 25. Good luck, and may your hits be many!
MLB The Show 25 is now in Early Access on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
