Pitchers are the athletes who will help you win more games in MLB The Show 25 by locking down your fort. While the hitters help you to score the runs, a game can’t be won if you’re leaking too many runs due to poor pitching.

A good pitcher will offer you a lot of variation when it comes to pitches. Additionally, pitchers with higher overall ratings also have high Confidence and Energy ratings. You can utilize them in more innings, and some can survive for almost eight rounds.

Let’s take a look at the top 10 pitchers available in MLB The Show 25.

Top 10 pitchers in MLB The Show 25

Almost all the names on this list have SP as their base positions, and the rankings have been done based on their overall ratings.

Shohei Ohtani is, by far, the best pitcher in MLB The Show 25. An injured 2024 season hasn’t removed the developers’ faith in his pitching abilities, and he’s part of Dodger’s golden trio on this list. The LA-based team also has Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow on the list.

Detroit’s Tarik Skubal and Braves’ Chris Sale are the second-best pitchers, rated at 94. Barring Clase, all the nine names are starting pitchers for their respective sides.

While the overall rating is a fair reflection of the abilities of these athletes, you should also pay attention to a few other stats. Velocity is an important stat as it determines the pace of a pitch. Having good stats on either Control or Break is also key, and the same goes for Stamina (Unless you have great RPs in your squad).

Like pitchers, having good hitters is also crucial as they will help you get more runs and outscore your opponents. Remember that the ratings on the table are applicable for all game modes apart from Diamond Dynasty.
