Optimal Pitching Configurations for MLB The Show 25 Revealed

While hitting is often seen as the highlight of *MLB The Show 25*, mastering the art of pitching is equally crucial for dominating on the mound. Finding the right settings can be challenging, but with the optimal configuration, you can significantly enhance your pitching game. Here are the best pitching settings for *MLB The Show 25* to help you keep hitters off balance and in control of the game.

Best Settings for Pitching in MLB The Show 25

Unlike the myriad of options available for hitting, the pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are straightforward yet pivotal. Mastering these settings can mean the difference between a disastrous first inning or cruising into the seventh with a no-hitter.

Pitching Interface

As in previous *MLB The Show* titles, Pinpoint remains the top choice for the pitching interface in *MLB The Show 25*. This setting puts you in full control, allowing you to dictate the ball's path by drawing specific lines for each pitch. The accuracy of your pitch hinges on how well you execute these lines.

Mastering Pinpoint can be daunting at first, as it offers little room for error. However, with practice, drawing these lines will become second nature, enabling you to consistently place pitches 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. Keeping the Pitching Ball Marker on is advisable, as it helps maintain awareness of pitch location.

Pitching View

As recommended in The Escapist’s hitting settings guide for *MLB The Show 25*, Strike Zone 2 is also the best choice for pitching. This view offers an up-close perspective of the batter, making it easier to pinpoint your pitches. With minimal room for error, Strike Zone 2 allows you to exploit hitters' weaknesses, especially since you're already familiar with this view from batting.

By implementing these pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25*, you'll be well-equipped to dominate on the mound and keep the opposing team's hitters guessing.
