that they are ready and the pitcher will begin his routine. If there are
human players playing for each team, or if a player controlled team is
pitching against a computer controlled team, then the player pitching can
start immediately.
Once the pitcher has thrown the ball, the batter will attempt to hit the
ball. When the ball is hit the BATTER’S VIEW screen will show the initial
trajectory and angle of the ball quickly before switching to the FIELDING
VIEW screen.
When a run is scored, the new score update will show in the score box.

PITCHING
AIMING – Use the DIRECTONAL P
AD to move the BALL AIM INDICA
-
TOR on the scr
een. The cursor will indicate wher
e the pitcher is aiming
their throw.
NOTE: The type of pitch selected will affect the ball’s path through the
air.
PITCH SELECTION – Use the 3 PITCH SELECTION buttons A, B, or C
to determine what type of pitch will be thrown.
NOTE: The PITCH SELECTION is not locked until the throwing motion
begins.
THROWING – To throw the ball the player must use force and a throw-
ing movement. The degree of force will determine the speed of the
ball. Once the throwing sensor has been activated the Ball Aim
Indicator will disappear and the pitcher will wind up and throw.
BATTING
Batting will take place in BATTER’S VIEW with three different actions: SWING-
ING, BUNTING, and STEALING.
SWINGING – Once the pitch has been thrown, the player should swing
the bat to hit the pitch. Hitting the ball is a matter of timing.
BUNTING – To bunt the ball instead of swinging at it, hold down the
BUNT button on the bat. This can be done at anytime. The ball will
only be bunted if the ball passes through the STRIKE ZONE, balls that
miss the STIKE ZONE when the BUNT button is pressed will not be
counted as strikes.
NOTE: The earlier the BUNT button is pressed in the pitchers wind-up,
the more the fielders will be prepared for the bunt. It is most advanta-
geous to press the BUNT button right before the ball travels through
the STRIKE ZONE.
RUNNING AND STEALING BASES – Once a ball has been hit, the
computer will control the base running. However, a player can choose to
attempt to steal a base at any stage of the pitching routine. To steal a
base, press the STEAL button on the bat
F
IELDING
The computer will be in control of moving the players around the field and
catching the ball. Once a fielder is in control of the ball, the player will use the
ball interface to throw. The player will select where they want to throw the ball
by using the DIRECTIONAL PAD, (and making a throwing motion with the ball if
in All-Stars difficulty level). The player can throw the ball multiple times in order
to try to get Double and Triple plays
• If the player pr
esses RIGHT on the DIRECTIONAL PAD, the ball will be
thrown to first base.
• If the player presses UP on the DIRECTIONAL PAD, the ball will be
thrown to second base.
• If the player presses LEFT on the DIRECTIONAL PAD, the ball will be
thrown to third base.
• If the player presses DOWN on the DIRECTIONAL PAD, the ball will be
thrown to home plate.
• If the player presses NOTHING on the DIRECTIONAL PAD, the ball will
be thrown to the pitcher after a brief period of time.
