To help you become a formidable force on the mound, here are the best pitching settings for *MLB The Show 25*.
Unlike the complex world of hitting, pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are more straightforward. Yet, nailing these settings can make the difference between a disastrous first inning and a no-hitter into the seventh.

| Pinpoint |
As with previous *MLB The Show* titles, Pinpoint remains the top choice for pitching interface in *MLB The Show 25*. This setting puts you in complete control, allowing you to dictate where the ball goes by drawing specific lines for each pitch. The accuracy of your pitch hinges on how well you draw these lines.
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 throw pitches right on the edge of the strike zone.
While other pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are less critical, experimenting with them can be beneficial. It's advisable to keep the Pitching Ball Marker on, as it helps maintain focus on pitch location.

| Strike Zone 2 |
If you've explored The Escapist's guide on hitting settings, you'll recognize Strike Zone 2 as the premier Hitting View. This view remains the best choice for pitching as well, offering an up-close perspective of the batter that simplifies pitch location. With minimal room for error, Strike Zone 2 helps you target spots that make hitters uncomfortable, especially since you're already familiar with this view from hitting.
These are the optimal pitching settings to elevate your game in *MLB The Show 25*.
