| Pinpoint |
As with previous *MLB The Show* titles, Pinpoint remains the top choice for pitching interface in *MLB The Show 25*. It empowers you to control the ball's trajectory by drawing specific lines for each pitch. The accuracy of your pitch hinges on how well you trace these lines.

Other pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are less pivotal, so feel free to experiment. However, keeping the Pitching Ball Marker on is advisable, as it helps maintain your focus on pitch location.

These are the optimal pitching settings for *MLB The Show 25* that will help you dominate on the mound.
