Unlike the extensive customization options for hitting, mastering pitching settings is surprisingly straightforward. While simple, nailing these settings is the difference between a disastrous first inning and a dominant no-hitter stretching into the seventh.

Pitching Interface

As in previous MLB The Show iterations, the Pinpoint pitching interface reigns supreme. It offers unparalleled control, allowing you to dictate exactly where each pitch lands. Pinpoint requires you to draw a precise line for each pitch; the accuracy of your drawing directly impacts the pitch's accuracy.

While mastering Pinpoint takes time and practice—it's unforgiving of mistakes—the precision it offers becomes second nature. Consistent strikes in the zone become achievable with enough practice.

While other pitching settings are less critical than the interface, keeping the Pitching Ball Marker active is recommended to maintain awareness of your pitch location.

Pitching View

If you're familiar with our hitting settings guide, you'll know Strike Zone 2's effectiveness. This close-up view remains optimal for pitching, providing an intimate perspective of the batter, significantly aiding pitch placement. The minimal margin for error in Strike Zone 2, coupled with its familiarity from hitting, makes it a natural choice.

And there you have it—the optimal pitching settings for MLB The Show 25.
