| Pinpoint |
Consistently, Pinpoint remains the top choice for pitching interface in *MLB The Show 25*, just as it has been in previous iterations. This interface empowers you to control where the ball goes by drawing specific lines for each pitch. The accuracy of your pitch is directly tied to how well you draw these lines.
Mastering Pinpoint can take time due to its unforgiving nature towards mistakes. However, once you get the hang of the various line patterns, it becomes second nature, enabling you to place pitches precisely on the corners of the strike zone.
While the other pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are less critical, feel free to experiment with them. It's advisable, though, to keep the Pitching Ball Marker on to help maintain your focus on pitch location.
