The game presents full baseball matches with batting, pitching, base running, and fielding. Controls are kept simple: pitchers can mix locations and pitch types, while batters must time their swings carefully. Fielding is handled through basic throws and automatic player switching, and each game advances inning by inning until the final score decides the winner.

Vary pitch placement and speed to keep batters guessing. On offense, wait for hittable pitches instead of swinging at everything. On defense, make quick and accurate throws to prevent runners from advancing on mistakes.
