Move your best arms to 3rd, SS, and right field. I say right field
because a hard hit ball through the hole by a slow runner could
get thrown out at 1st.
With bases loaded and less than 2 out, hit and run every time, because
the computer will automatically throw home every time.
The computer will swing at most anything with two strikes, so throw
a slow curve drifting outside from the batter. It will swing but
usually come up with nothing.
With men on base and a bloop in the in field, let it fall. The runners
will have held, so you can get the force, usually a double play if
there are runners on 1st & 2nd.
Runner on second tip
Sent in by Jeff
If you ever get a runner on second follow this tip. On the next batter(s)
try and get a hit. After you do get them to throw the ball to the catcher.
Make the runner on first leave and steal second. The catcher will throw
to second. Immediately after the runner from first leaves make the runner
from third go home. Right before the runner from first gets to second,
the second basemen will throw home. If the second basemen has a slow
throw the runner will score. If he has a good arm it'll be a close play. If
you try it once in a game and get thrown out don't try it again.
Offense tips
Sent by Phil McGinnis
On offense, if you get a man on first with no outs, bunt him to second and
third. At worst, a man on third with two outs is the situation you now have,
at best bases loaded. Have the man on third lead off (watch out for pickoff
attempts). Watch the pitcher, and when the pitcher lifts his leg steal home,
and bunt the ball. If the runner on third is too fast, the man at first will
be thrown out or if he is too slow and cannot score you can turn him around
and send him back to third. The computer will throw home and then to third.
With good timing and a few good bunts you can score several runs. Also is
you have first and second with no outs, try to hit a ground ball to the first
or second basemen (while having the runner and 2nd stealing). Often, the
computer will throw to 3rd and everyone will be safe. While pitching, hold
up and the direction of the batter. This will send a slow curve ball to the
plate. The computer swings at nearly everything. Be careful not to throw
to far inside and hit the batter. This is best is using a pitcher with high
control, and high fatigue if possible. If low fatigue factors, change pitchers
every few innings. With the right control on the movement, you can keep the
ball just inside the body of the batter and can get 27 K's. The computer will
not always swing at these pitches but more often then not. You can mix it up
with slow curves outside, and faster pitches, however both of these are
dangerous as the hitter may hit the ball with the big part of the bat. Check
all the players abilities, as team speed, pitching and defense can win
ballgames, as well as hitting homeruns.
Hitting home runs
Sent in by Mike
Here's a secret to hitting home runs. Hold Down, time the pitch
right and swing. You are guaranteed to hit a lot of home runs
during the season.
