Best Settings for Pitching in MLB The Show 25

Unlike the myriad of options available for hitting, pitching settings are more straightforward but equally impactful. Getting these settings right can make the difference between a disastrous first inning and maintaining a no-hitter into the seventh.

Pitching Interface

Consistently ranked as the top choice across *MLB The Show* series, Pinpoint remains the best pitching interface in *MLB The Show 25*. It allows you to take full control of your pitches, requiring you to draw specific lines for each pitch type. The accuracy of your pitch depends on how well you draw these lines. Although mastering Pinpoint can be time-consuming and unforgiving, once you become adept at drawing the lines for each pitch, it will become second nature, enabling you to consistently place pitches precisely where you want them.

While other pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are less critical, experimenting with them can be beneficial. It's recommended to keep the Pitching Ball Marker on to help maintain pitch location awareness.
