| Batting, the control pad moves the batter toward the pitcher, the catcher, or either baseline, a button swings, and letting go of it mid-swing stops the swing there; the control pad picks which runner to direct, and another button sends that runner on to the next base. Fielding, the control pad picks the pitch, and with no direction held the pitcher throws a half-speed straight ball. B throws a pickoff to the base the control pad picks. | printed p. 2 (PDF p. 4), attackprinted p. 2 (PDF p. 4), attackprinted p. 2 (PDF p. 4), attackprinted p. 3 (PDF p. 5), attackprinted p. 3 (PDF p. 5), attackprinted p. 3 (PDF p. 5), attackprinted p. 3 (PDF p. 5), defenceprinted p. 3 (PDF p. 5), defenceprinted p. 4 (PDF p. 6), pickoffprinted p. 4 (PDF p. 6), pickoffprinted p. 2 (PDF p. 4), attackprinted p. 2 (PDF p. 4), attackprinted p. 3 (PDF p. 5), attack | Manual |
