| Pinpoint |
As in previous *MLB The Show* titles, Pinpoint remains the top choice for pitching interface in *MLB The Show 25*. This setting allows you to take full control, ensuring your pitches land precisely where intended. With Pinpoint, you draw specific lines for each pitch type, and your accuracy depends on how well you trace these lines.
While mastering Pinpoint can be challenging due to its strictness, once you get the hang of the various line patterns, it becomes second nature. You'll soon be throwing pitches right on the edge of the strike zone with ease.
Other pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are less critical, so feel free to experiment. However, keeping the Pitching Ball Marker on is advisable to help maintain focus on pitch location.
Pitching View

| Strike Zone 2 |
If you've followed The Escapist's guide on hitting settings, you'll recognize Strike Zone 2 as the optimal Hitting View. This view is equally effective for pitching, offering a close-up perspective of the batter that simplifies pitch location. Strike Zone 2 leaves little room for error, and since you're already familiar with it from hitting, you'll know exactly where to aim to make batters uncomfortable.
These settings are your key to mastering pitching in *MLB The Show 25*. Experiment with them, and soon you'll be dominating the mound like a pro.
