| Pinpoint |
As in previous MLB The Show iterations, the Pinpoint interface reigns supreme. It offers unparalleled control, allowing you to precisely dictate where each pitch lands. You'll draw a line to guide your pitch; the accuracy of your drawing directly impacts the pitch's precision.
While mastering Pinpoint takes practice due to its unforgiving nature, the reward is consistent accuracy. Once you've learned the nuances of line drawing for each pitch type, pinpoint accuracy will become second nature.
While other pitching settings are less critical than the interface, keeping the Pitching Ball Marker activated is recommended for maintaining awareness of your pitch location.
