Optimal Pitching Configurations for MLB The Show 25

While hitting is often the star of the show in *MLB The Show 25*, mastering the art of pitching can truly set you apart on the virtual diamond. Locating your pitches with precision is crucial, and having the right settings can make all the difference. Here's a guide to the best pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* to help you dominate on the mound.

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 yet impactful. Mastering these settings can mean the difference between a disastrous first inning and cruising into the seventh with a no-hitter.

Pitching Interface

As in previous *MLB The Show* titles, the Pinpoint interface remains the top choice for pitching in *MLB The Show 25*. This setting gives you full control over where the ball goes by requiring you to draw specific lines for each type of pitch. The accuracy of your pitch depends on how well you trace these lines. While mastering Pinpoint can be challenging due to its strictness, once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to place your pitches with pinpoint precision consistently.

Feel free to experiment with other pitching settings, but it's wise to keep the Pitching Ball Marker enabled to help maintain your focus on pitch location.

Pitching View

If you're familiar with The Escapist's guide on hitting settings, you'll know that Strike Zone 2 is the recommended view for hitting. The same applies to pitching. This camera angle provides an intimate view of the batter, making it easier to pinpoint your pitch locations. With minimal room for error, Strike Zone 2 helps you understand which spots are most effective against hitters, especially since you're already using it for hitting.

These are the optimal pitching settings for *MLB The Show 25* that will help you control the game from the mound.
