Optimal Pitching Configurations for MLB The Show 25

While hitting is often the highlight of *MLB The Show 25*, mastering pitching is equally crucial for dominating the game. Locating your pitches accurately can be challenging without the right settings, so here’s how to optimize your pitching in *MLB The Show 25* to keep those batters guessing.

Best Settings for Pitching in MLB The Show 25

Unlike hitting, which offers a plethora of options, the pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are straightforward but pivotal. Mastering these settings can mean the difference between a disastrous first inning and a near-perfect game.

Pitching Interface

In *MLB The Show 25*, just as in previous editions, the Pinpoint pitching interface stands out as the best option. It puts you in complete control, allowing you to precisely direct the ball where you intend it to go. With Pinpoint, you draw unique lines for each type of pitch, and the accuracy of your pitch depends on how well you trace these lines.

Mastering Pinpoint can take some time due to its strictness on mistakes. However, once you get the hang of drawing the various lines, it becomes second nature, enabling you to consistently throw pitches right on the edges of the strike zone.

While other pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are less critical, feel free to experiment with them. However, it's advisable to keep the Pitching Ball Marker enabled to help maintain your focus on pitch location.

Pitching View

If you've followed The Escapist's guide on hitting settings, you'll recognize Strike Zone 2 as the optimal Hitting View. This view remains the best choice for pitching as well. The close-up camera angle provides an intimate view of the batter, making pitch location more manageable. With minimal room for error, Strike Zone 2 helps you exploit the hitters' weaknesses, especially since you're already familiar with this view from hitting.

These are the recommended pitching settings for *MLB The Show 25* to enhance your performance on the mound.

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