Unlike the myriad hitting options, mastering pitching settings is surprisingly straightforward. Focusing on a few key areas can significantly impact your performance, turning a potential blowout into a nail-biting contest.

Pitching Interface

For ultimate control, Pinpoint reigns supreme. This interface, a mainstay in previous MLB The Show titles, lets you precisely dictate the location of each pitch. You'll draw a line to guide the pitch, with the accuracy of your drawing directly influencing the pitch's placement.

While mastering Pinpoint takes practice—it's unforgiving of imprecise inputs—the reward is consistent accuracy. Once you've learned the nuances of drawing each pitch line, hitting the strike zone becomes second nature.

While other pitching settings are less critical, keeping the Pitching Ball Marker active is recommended for maintaining awareness of your pitch location.

The limited margin for error in Strike Zone 2, coupled with its familiarity from batting, makes it the ideal choice for pitching as well.

These settings will significantly enhance your pitching performance in MLB The Show 25.
