Okay, here’s my story about messing around with hitting views in MLB The Show.
So, I’ve been grinding away at MLB The Show for a while now, and like anyone who’s trying to get good, I started messing with the settings. The hitting view, specifically. It’s a big deal, right? You gotta see the ball well if you wanna crush it. At first, I just stuck with the default, whatever that was. But I kept seeing people online talking about how “Strike Zone” was the way to go.
Naturally, I had to try it. I switched over to Strike Zone 2, and boom, it was an immediate difference. This view zooms you in super close, putting the pitcher and the plate right there in the center of your screen. Makes it way easier to track where that ball is headed. I started picking up on pitches much faster, and my timing improved big time.

- Strike Zone
- Strike Zone 2
- Strike Zone High
- Catcher
Hitting views I tried
I played around with a few other views, too. Strike Zone High was okay, gave a slightly different perspective, but I didn’t love it as much as the first one. Some folks swear by “Catcher” view, which puts you behind the plate like you’re, you know, the catcher. It’s cool and all, but didn’t really do it for me in terms of actually hitting the ball.
Now, I’m no pro or anything. I’m not out here claiming to be the best MLB The Show player ever. But I can confidently say that switching to Strike Zone 2 helped my hitting game a ton. I finally felt like I could track the ball and not look like a fool swinging at everything. If you’re struggling at the plate, I’d recommend giving it a shot.
At the end of the day, it probably comes down to personal preference, but Strike Zone 2 is a great one. Don’t be afraid to mess around and see which one is right for you, but the close-up view really helped me see the ball better and make better contact.
