Optimal Pitching Configurations for MLB The Show 25

In *MLB The Show 25*, while hitting often steals the spotlight, pitching is equally crucial to your success on the field. Mastering the art of pitching can be challenging, but with the right settings, you can significantly improve your performance on the mound. Here's a guide to the best pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* to help you dominate your opponents.

Best Settings for Pitching in MLB The Show 25

Unlike hitting, which offers a plethora of options, pitching settings are more straightforward. However, mastering these can make a significant difference between a disastrous first inning and pitching a no-hitter into the seventh.

Pitching Interface

As with previous iterations of *MLB The Show*, the Pinpoint interface remains the top choice for pitching in *MLB The Show 25*. This method allows you to have full control over 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 take time due to its strictness on errors, once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to place your pitches precisely on the corners of the strike zone. While other pitching settings are less critical, it's wise to keep the Pitching Ball Marker enabled to help maintain your focus on pitch location.

Pitching View

For the best pitching view, Strike Zone 2 is recommended. This view, also praised in The Escapist's hitting settings guide for *MLB The Show 25*, provides an up-close perspective of the batter, making it easier to pinpoint your pitches. With minimal room for error, Strike Zone 2 helps you exploit the weaknesses in hitters' stances, which you'll already be familiar with if you use this view for hitting.

These settings are your key to dominating on the mound in *MLB The Show 25*. With practice and the right setup, you'll be able to control the game and keep your opponents guessing.

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