As spring rolls in, so does the excitement of baseball season and the latest installment from San Diego Studio, *MLB The Show 25*. This year's game promises a lot, but mastering the art of hitting will still require some fine-tuning. Here's a guide to the best hitting settings for *MLB The Show 25* to help you make solid contact and boost your performance at the plate.
Once you've launched *MLB The Show 25* and navigated through the initial setup, dive into the settings menu. With a plethora of options available, customizing your hitting experience can be daunting. But don't worry, The Escapist is here to help you set a solid foundation for your hitting game.

| Zone |
Just like in previous iterations of *MLB The Show*, the Zone hitting interface remains the top choice for *MLB The Show 25*. It offers the most control, allowing you to maneuver your Plate Coverage Indicator (PCI) freely within the batter's box. While it might feel intimidating to rely solely on your PCI placement, mastering it can lead to rewarding moments, especially when you capitalize on a hanging curveball.
| **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 |
While PCI settings can be highly personal, the above configuration aims to simplify the hitting process. By setting the PCI Center to Bat, you can better visualize where the ball will make contact, aiming for that sweet spot on the barrel. With practice, this will become second nature, much like catching a routine pop-up.
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 to enhance visibility. Additionally, feel free to experiment with the new PCI Anchor settings, which allow you to adjust the PCI's starting position based on the batter and pitcher. While The Escapist found minimal impact, it might make a difference for you.

| Strike Zone 2 |
While mastering the PCI is crucial, selecting the right hitting view is equally important. A camera positioned too far back can distract you with peripheral action, making it hard to focus on the pitcher. Strike Zone 2 offers the perfect balance, placing you right in the heart of the action as the ball comes in.
With these settings, you're well on your way to optimizing your hitting performance in *MLB The Show 25*.
*MLB The Show 25* is now available in Early Access on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
