While hitting might steal the spotlight in *MLB The Show 25*, pitching holds equal importance for dominating the game. Mastering pitch location can be challenging, but with the right settings, you can elevate your performance on the mound. Here’s how to set up your pitching for success in *MLB The Show 25*.

Best Settings for Pitching in MLB The Show 25

Unlike the extensive hitting options, pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are straightforward but crucial. Mastering these can mean the difference between a disastrous first inning or carrying a no-hitter into the seventh.

Pitching Interface

In *MLB The Show 25*, just as in previous iterations, Pinpoint remains the top choice for pitching interface. It offers the most control over pitch location by requiring you to draw specific lines for each pitch type. The accuracy of your pitch hinges on how well you trace these lines. Although it can be challenging to master due to its unforgiving nature, once you get the hang of it, Pinpoint becomes second nature, enabling you to consistently hit your spots.

While other pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are less critical, experimenting with them can be beneficial. However, keeping the Pitching Ball Marker on is advisable to maintain a clear view of pitch location.

Pitching View

If you've explored 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, offering an intimate perspective of the batter that simplifies pitch location. With minimal room for error, Strike Zone 2 helps you pinpoint the areas that make hitters uneasy, a benefit you can leverage from both the mound and the batter's box.

These are the key pitching settings to master in *MLB The Show 25* to dominate on the mound.

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