While hitting steals the spotlight in *MLB The Show 25*, mastering the art of pitching is equally crucial for dominating the game. Locating the ball precisely can be challenging without the optimal setup. If you're aiming to rule the mound, here are the best pitching settings for *MLB The Show 25* to enhance your pitching prowess.

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 impactful. Mastering these settings can mean the difference between a disastrous first inning and a no-hitter into the seventh.

Pitching Interface

In *MLB The Show 25*, as in previous editions, the Pinpoint interface stands out as the top choice for pitching. This setting allows you to take complete control over your pitch location by drawing specific lines for each type of pitch. The accuracy of your pitch hinges on how well you replicate these lines. While mastering Pinpoint can be time-consuming due to its unforgiving nature, once you've learned the intricacies of each line, it becomes second nature, enabling you to consistently hit the edges of the strike zone.

The other pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are less critical than the Pitching Interface, so feel free to experiment with them. However, keeping the Pitching Ball Marker on is advisable, as it helps you maintain a clear view of your pitch location.

Pitching View

If you've followed The Escapist's guide on hitting settings in *MLB The Show 25*, you'll recognize Strike Zone 2 as the optimal Hitting View. This choice remains the best for pitching as well, offering an up-close perspective of the batter that simplifies pitch location. Strike Zone 2 leaves little room for error, and since you're familiar with this view from hitting, you'll already know which spots can unsettle batters.

These settings are your key to mastering pitching in *MLB The Show 25*. With practice and these optimal configurations, you'll be well on your way to becoming a formidable pitcher.
