Optimal Pitching Settings Revealed for MLB The Show 25

In *MLB The Show 25*, while hitting may steal the spotlight, mastering the art of pitching is equally crucial. Locating your pitches effectively can be challenging without the right setup. To help you dominate on the mound, here are the optimal pitching settings for *MLB The Show 25*.

Best Settings for Pitching in MLB The Show 25

Unlike the extensive options available for hitting, pitching settings are simpler yet crucial. Mastering these can be the difference between a disastrous first inning and maintaining a no-hitter into the seventh.

Pitching Interface

As in previous *MLB The Show* titles, Pinpoint remains the top choice for pitching interface in *MLB The Show 25*. This setting puts you in complete control, allowing you to direct the ball precisely where you intend. With Pinpoint, you draw specific lines for each pitch type, and the accuracy of your pitch depends on how well you trace these lines.

Mastering Pinpoint can be challenging due to its strictness with errors, but once you become adept at drawing the various lines, it will feel natural, enabling you to consistently throw pitches on the edges of the strike zone.

While other pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are less critical, feel free to experiment. However, keeping the Pitching Ball Marker on is recommended to help maintain awareness of your pitch's location.

Pitching View

If you've followed The Escapist's guide on hitting settings, you'll recognize Strike Zone 2 as the best Hitting View. This view is equally effective for pitching, offering an up-close perspective of the batter that simplifies pitch location. Strike Zone 2 leaves little room for error, and since you use it for hitting, you'll already be familiar with the spots that challenge hitters.

These settings are your key to pitching success in *MLB The Show 25*.

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