Optimal Pitching Configurations for MLB The Show 25 Revealed

While hitting steals the spotlight in *MLB The Show 25*, pitching holds equal importance. Mastering pitch location can be challenging, especially without the optimal setup. To help you dominate on the mound, here are the top pitching settings for *MLB The Show 25*.

Best Settings for Pitching in MLB The Show 25

Unlike hitting, which offers a multitude of options, pitching settings are simpler yet crucial. A few key adjustments can mean the difference between conceding a 10-run inning and carrying a no-hitter into the seventh.

Pitching Interface

As with previous *MLB The Show* titles, Pinpoint remains the premier pitching interface in *MLB The Show 25*. It empowers you to take full control, ensuring the ball goes exactly where you intend. Pinpoint requires you to draw specific lines for each pitch, with your accuracy directly influencing the pitch's precision.

Mastering Pinpoint can take time due to its unforgiving nature. However, once you've familiarized yourself with drawing the lines for various pitches, it becomes second nature, allowing you to consistently hit the corners of the strike zone.

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

Pitching View

If you've explored The Escapist's hitting settings guide for *MLB The Show 25*, you'll recognize Strike Zone 2 as the optimal Hitting View. This preference extends to pitching, offering an intimate view of the batter and enhancing pitch location accuracy. Strike Zone 2 leaves little room for error, and since it's used for hitting, you'll already be familiar with the spots that challenge hitters.

These are the recommended pitching settings to maximize your performance in *MLB The Show 25*.

*MLB The Show 25 is currently available in Early Access on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.*
