Best Settings for Pitching in MLB The Show 25
Unlike hitting, which offers numerous options, pitching settings are more straightforward but no less impactful. Mastering these settings can mean the difference between a disastrous first inning and a no-hitter into the seventh.

| Pinpoint |
In *MLB The Show 25*, just as in previous editions, the Pinpoint interface remains the top choice for pitching. This setting allows you to take full control over where the ball goes by drawing specific lines for each pitch type. The accuracy of your pitch depends on how well you trace 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 place pitches precisely on the edges of the strike zone.
While other pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are less critical, experimenting with them can be beneficial. However, keeping the Pitching Ball Marker on is advisable, as it helps maintain focus on pitch location.

| Strike Zone 2 |
As recommended in The Escapist's guide for hitting settings, Strike Zone 2 is also the best choice for pitching. This view provides an up-close perspective of the batter, making it easier to pinpoint your pitches. With minimal room for error, Strike Zone 2 helps you target the 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.
