| Pinpoint |
In *MLB The Show 25*, just as in previous editions, the Pinpoint interface reigns supreme. It empowers you to control the ball's trajectory precisely by drawing specific lines for each pitch. The accuracy of your pitch hinges on how well you trace these lines. While mastering Pinpoint can be daunting due to its strictness on errors, once you get the hang of it, pitching on the edges of the strike zone becomes second nature.
Other pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are less critical, so feel free to experiment. However, keeping the Pitching Ball Marker on is advisable to maintain a clear view of your pitch location.
