Best Settings for Pitching in MLB The Show 25
While hitting offers countless options, pitching settings are refreshingly straightforward. Yet, getting them right can transform your performance from giving up big runs early to maintaining a no-hitter deep into the game.
Pitching Interface

| Pinpoint |
As in previous editions of MLB The Show, Pinpoint reigns supreme as the optimal pitching interface. It gives you full control over where the ball lands by requiring you to trace a specific line for each pitch. Your accuracy depends on how well you execute that line.
Mastering Pinpoint takes practice, as it doesn’t forgive mistakes easily. Once you’re comfortable with the mechanics, though, throwing strikes will feel natural, and you’ll consistently hit your targets.
Additional pitching settings aren’t as critical as the interface, so feel free to tweak them. Still, keeping the Pitching Ball Marker enabled is wise—it helps you stay on track with pitch placement.

| Strike Zone 2 |
If you’ve explored The Escapist’s guide for hitting settings, you’ll recognize Strike Zone 2 as the best Hitting View. For pitching, it remains unbeatable. This camera angle brings you closer to the batter, making it easier to locate pitches. With minimal room for error, and since you’ll already be familiar with its positioning from hitting, it’s a perfect choice.
And there you have it—the ultimate pitching settings for MLB The Show 25.
