Consistent with previous *MLB The Show* titles, Pinpoint remains the top choice for the pitching interface in *MLB The Show 25*. It allows you to take full control of your pitches, requiring you to draw specific lines for each type of pitch. The accuracy of your pitch depends on how well you draw these lines. Although mastering Pinpoint can be time-consuming and unforgiving of mistakes, once you get the hang of it, you'll consistently throw pitches right on the edge of the strike zone.

| Strike Zone 2 |
As highlighted in The Escapist’s guide for hitting settings, Strike Zone 2 is the optimal view for pitching as well. This camera angle brings you close to the batter, making it easier to locate your pitches with precision. With minimal room for error, Strike Zone 2 helps you understand which spots make hitters uncomfortable, an advantage you can leverage both when pitching and hitting.
These are the recommended pitching settings to enhance your performance in *MLB The Show 25*. With these settings, you'll be well-equipped to dominate on the mound and take your game to the next level.
