Best Settings for Pitching in MLB The Show 25
Unlike the complex world of hitting options, pitching settings are straightforward yet pivotal. Nailing these settings can mean the difference between a disastrous first inning and cruising into the seventh with a no-hitter.

| Pinpoint |
In *MLB The Show 25*, just as in its predecessors, Pinpoint remains the top choice for pitching interface. This setting puts you in complete control, allowing you to dictate exactly where the ball goes. With Pinpoint, you draw specific lines for each pitch, and the accuracy of your drawing directly impacts the pitch's precision.
Mastering Pinpoint can be a steep learning curve due to its unforgiving nature towards errors. However, once you get the hang of drawing the various lines, it becomes second nature, enabling you to consistently hit the corners of the strike zone.
While other pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are less critical, experimenting with them can be beneficial. Keeping the Pitching Ball Marker on is advisable, as it helps you maintain focus on your pitch location.

| Strike Zone 2 |
If you've delved into The Escapist's guide on hitting settings, you're familiar with Strike Zone 2 as the optimal Hitting View. This view remains the best choice for pitching as well. It offers an up-close perspective of the batter, making pitch location more manageable. With minimal room for error, Strike Zone 2 allows you to target those spots that make hitters uncomfortable, leveraging your familiarity from the batter's box.
These are the best pitching settings to enhance your performance in *MLB The Show 25*. Experiment with them to find your perfect setup and dominate on the mound.
