| Pinpoint |
Just as in previous *MLB The Show* titles, Pinpoint remains the best pitching interface in *MLB The Show 25*. It gives you full control over where the ball goes, requiring you to draw specific lines for each pitch. The accuracy of your pitch depends on how well you draw these lines. While mastering Pinpoint can be time-consuming and unforgiving, once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to place pitches precisely on the edges of the strike zone.
Feel free to experiment with other pitching settings, but keeping the Pitching Ball Marker on is advisable to help you maintain focus on pitch location.

If you've read The Escapist's guide on hitting settings, you'll know that Strike Zone 2 is the best view for hitting.

With minimal room for error, Strike Zone 2 helps you target those spots that make hitters uncomfortable, especially since you're already familiar with this view from hitting.
These are the optimal pitching settings for *MLB The Show 25* to enhance your performance on the mound.
