Pinpoint |
As with previous *MLB The Show* titles, Pinpoint remains the top choice for pitching interface in *MLB The Show 25*. It allows you to have full control over where the ball goes by requiring you to draw specific lines for each type of pitch. The accuracy of your pitch depends on how well you draw these lines. While mastering Pinpoint can be challenging due to its strictness with errors, once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to throw pitches with pinpoint accuracy consistently.
Feel free to experiment with the other pitching settings, but it's advisable to keep the Pitching Ball Marker on. This helps you maintain a clear sense of pitch location throughout the game.

It provides an up-close and personal view of the batter, making it easier to locate your pitches. With minimal room for error, Strike Zone 2 helps you target those spots that make hitters uncomfortable, just as it does when you're at bat.
These are the best pitching settings to elevate your game in *MLB The Show 25*.
