How to Pitch Accurately:

You have to think as the green line for a 2-4 inch window if you hit that spot the ball will go there

Dont throw every pitch in the red , You should think of each hitter and inning as what you want to accomplish

Throw in the low red for pitches you want to get ahead of
Try to max your red when you are ahead 0-1 0-2 1-2 where you can afford to throw a ball but also will have the hardest break on a slider or curve

Pick 1 pitch each inning to try and find the paint the corner try to hit the bottom of the yellow right before the red this also will be your pitch you mix in with your red pitch to make the hitter chase or get tricked = called 3rd strikes

Pick 1 pitch each inning where you will throw for most accuracy when the hitter is locked in hitting everything hard and try to pinpoint the pitch which will also usually force the hitter to swing early because of being out in front then you can also tell by his bat speed what pitch he was looking for and can begin a gameplan..

If there is a yellow stripe (sweet spot) available for you to land your cursor in, put it there. If not, in the middle of the brightest section of white, about a 45 degree angle to the right.
