| Pinpoint |
In *MLB The Show 25*, as in its predecessors, the Pinpoint pitching interface reigns supreme. This setting empowers you to control the ball's trajectory directly, ensuring your pitches land exactly where intended. With Pinpoint, you'll draw unique lines for each pitch type, and the accuracy of your drawing dictates the pitch's precision.
While mastering Pinpoint can be challenging due to its unforgiving nature, with practice, it becomes second nature. Once you've learned the patterns for each pitch, you'll consistently hit the corners of the strike zone, baffling batters.
While the other pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are less critical, experimenting with them can still enhance your gameplay. However, keeping the Pitching Ball Marker on is advisable to maintain a clear view of pitch location.
