Optimal Pitching Configurations for MLB The Show 25

While hitting may steal the spotlight in *MLB The Show 25*, pitching is equally crucial. Mastering the art of locating the ball can be challenging, but with the right settings, you can dominate on the mound. Here are the best pitching settings to help you excel in *MLB The Show 25*.

Best Settings for Pitching in MLB The Show 25

Unlike the numerous options available for hitting, pitching settings are more straightforward but just as critical. Getting these settings right can mean the difference between a disastrous first inning and 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 allows you to take full control of where the ball goes by drawing specific lines for each pitch. The accuracy of your pitch depends on how well you draw these lines. While mastering Pinpoint can be a challenge due to its strictness, once you get the hang of it, you'll consistently throw pitches right on the edge of the strike zone.

Other pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are less critical, so feel free to experiment. However, keeping the Pitching Ball Marker on is advisable, as it helps you maintain focus on pitch location.

Pitching View

For those familiar with The Escapist’s hitting settings guide, Strike Zone 2 is also recommended as the best Pitching View. This camera angle brings you close to the batter, making pitch location more precise. With minimal room for error, and since you use the same view for hitting, you'll quickly learn which spots make hitters uncomfortable.

These are the optimal pitching settings for *MLB The Show 25*. By fine-tuning your approach with these settings, you'll be well on your way to dominating the mound.

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