Spring has sprung, and with it comes the crack of the bat and the release of MLB The Show 25 from San Diego Studio! While this year's game promises a lot, mastering hitting will still require some fine-tuning. Let's dive into the optimal hitting settings to help you crush those home runs.

After launching MLB The Show 25 and completing the intro, head straight to the settings menu. The sheer number of customizable options can be overwhelming, so let's simplify things.
Hitting Interface

| Zone |
Similar to previous MLB The Show titles, the Zone hitting interface reigns supreme in MLB The Show 25. It offers unparalleled control, letting you freely maneuver your PCI (Power Contact Indicator) within the batter's box. While this might seem daunting at first, the precision it allows is invaluable, especially when reacting to those hanging curveballs.
PCI Settings
| **Best PCI Settings in MLB The Show 25** |
| PCI Center – Bat |
| PCI Inner – None |
| PCI Outer – None |
| PCI Color – Yellow |
| PCI Opacity – 80% |
| PCI Fadeout – None |
Finding the perfect PCI settings is highly personal, but this configuration aims for simplicity and visual clarity. Representing the PCI as a bat helps visualize contact points. Mastering the sweet spot will become second nature with practice.
Adjust the Color and Opacity settings based on the game's time of day. Yellow works well for day games, but consider switching to Blue or Green for night games.
Experiment with the new PCI Anchor settings; they allow adjustments based on the batter and pitcher, but our testing showed minimal impact.

| Strike Zone 2 |
While PCI mastery is crucial, the camera angle significantly impacts your hitting performance. A distant camera can be distracting, hindering focus on the incoming pitch. Strike Zone 2 provides the ideal balance, placing you directly in the action.
These settings provide a strong foundation for hitting success in MLB The Show 25.
MLB The Show 25 is now in Early Access on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
