Like most kids back then playing backyard baseball, the boys would play pitch and catch with a tennis ball. Taking turns with one pitching and the other catching and calling balls and strikes. The catcher would also act as the batter by throwing the ball into the field where the pitcher would have to field the ball and make the play.

How To Hit Baseball Better
Players choose their favorite players, create a team and play a season. Characters all have their own personalities that you must factor in, divided into four categories. What sets this game apart from other baseball games is that it offers a variety of Power Ups including super pitches and hitting techniques as well as special items like the aluminum bat (which allows players to hit harder and farther). In any case, the controls are simple enough that pretty much anyone can learn it, and the game also offers difficulty levels for better players to keep the challenge going.
