Zone

Zone hitting remains the superior choice for 2025. This mode gives you maximum flexibility by letting you freely adjust the PCI (Player Contact Indicator) throughout the batter's box. Although it requires precision, it rewards accurate placement when the pitch hangs in the strike zone. Trust us—there’s no better person for the job.

PCI Settings

PCI Center – Bat

PCI Inner – None

PCI Outer – None

PCI Color – Yellow

PCI Opacity – 80%

PCI Fadeout – None

Customizing your PCI settings can vary depending on personal preference, but the list above offers a solid starting point. Setting the PCI to "Bat" helps you visualize where the ball will connect with the barrel. Over time, you'll develop muscle memory for finding the sweet spot.

Color and opacity adjustments may depend on lighting conditions. Yellow works well during daytime games, while blue or green might enhance visibility under artificial lights at night.

Feel free to experiment with the new PCI Anchor feature, which lets you customize the anchor position based on the batter and pitcher. The Escapist found little difference, but it’s worth testing to see if it improves your gameplay.

Strike Zone 2

Your hitting view plays a crucial role alongside the PCI. A distant camera angle can distract you from the pitcher, making it harder to focus. Strike Zone 2 offers the ideal perspective, keeping you immersed in the action.

And there you have it—the ultimate hitting settings for MLB The Show 25. The game is currently available in Early Access on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
