Optimal Pitching Configurations for MLB The Show 25

While hitting in *MLB The Show 25* often steals the spotlight, mastering pitching is equally crucial to dominating the game. Locating the ball accurately can be challenging, but with the right settings, you can significantly improve your performance on the mound. Here are the optimal pitching settings to help you excel in *MLB The Show 25*.

Best Settings for Pitching in MLB The Show 25

Unlike the extensive options available for hitting, the pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are simpler but no less critical. Mastering these settings can mean the difference between a disastrous first inning and pitching a no-hitter into the seventh.

Pitching Interface

Consistently ranked as the top choice in previous *MLB The Show* games, the Pinpoint pitching interface remains the best option in *MLB The Show 25*. This interface gives you full control over where the ball goes by requiring you to draw specific lines for each pitch type. The accuracy of your pitch depends on how well you replicate these lines.

Although mastering Pinpoint can be time-consuming due to its strict precision requirements, once you become accustomed to drawing the various lines, it becomes second nature. You'll find yourself consistently placing pitches on the edges of the strike zone, making it a formidable tool in your pitching arsenal.

While other pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are less critical, experimenting with them can be beneficial. However, it's advisable to keep the Pitching Ball Marker enabled, as it helps maintain focus on pitch location.

Pitching View

If you've explored The Escapist's guide on hitting settings, you'll recognize Strike Zone 2 as the top choice for hitting. This view remains the best option for pitching as well. The close-up camera angle provided by Strike Zone 2 enhances your ability to precisely locate pitches. With minimal room for error, this view helps you target the spots that make hitters uncomfortable, leveraging your familiarity from hitting to improve your pitching.

These are the recommended pitching settings for *MLB The Show 25* to help you dominate on the mound.
