While hitting often steals the spotlight in *MLB The Show 25*, pitching is equally crucial to your success on the virtual diamond. Mastering pitch location can be challenging without the optimal setup, but fear not—with the right settings, you can dominate from the mound. Here's a breakdown of the best pitching settings to elevate your game in *MLB The Show 25*.

Best Settings for Pitching in MLB The Show 25

Unlike the myriad of hitting options, pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are more straightforward but no less critical. A few key adjustments can mean the difference between a rough first inning or carrying a no-hitter into the seventh.

Pitching Interface

Consistently favored in previous *MLB The Show* titles, Pinpoint remains the top choice for pitching interface in this year's edition. This setting puts you in full control, requiring you to draw specific lines for each pitch type. The accuracy of your pitch hinges on how well you trace these lines. While mastering Pinpoint can be time-consuming due to its strictness on errors, once you've learned the patterns, you'll find yourself consistently hitting the edges of the strike zone.

While other pitching settings are less pivotal, you might want to keep the Pitching Ball Marker enabled to better track your pitch locations.

Pitching View

If you've followed The Escapist's guide on hitting settings, you're already familiar with Strike Zone 2, which is also the best choice for pitching. This view provides an intimate perspective of the batter, making it easier to pinpoint your pitches. Its minimal margin for error complements your hitting experience, as you'll already know which spots challenge hitters the most.

These are the optimal pitching settings for *MLB The Show 25*. Implement them, and watch your pitching prowess soar.
