Hints

Easy hits

Hit the ball anywhere in fair territory, then quickly pause the game. Change the 
controller options to control the opposing team, then resume the game. 
Intentionally miss the ball, allowing the batter to reach base before switching 
back. 

Keep a low ERA

Pause the game in season mode if a homerun is hit against your pitcher. This must 
be done before the ball leaves the park. Select the "Bullpen" and "Bullpen To 
Mound" options to change your current pitcher for another player. After the game 
is resumed, the new pitcher will be charged with the homerun, allowing the 
original pitcher to keep a lower ERA. 

CPU bunts

If a CPU batter misses a bunt, he will automatically make a second attempt on the 
next pitch. Use this to your advantage by pressing B after selecting a pitch to 
throw a pitch out. 

Picking off a CPU baserunner

If the CPU reaches second base by stealing, the baserunner will almost always try 
to steal third as well. Throw a pitch out to increase the chance for a pick-off. 

Weird play

Run along the wall and hold Z, then throw the ball to any base. The player will 
throw the ball into the air and catch it.

See the catcher

Select the Cleveland Indians as a team and Enir Diaz as the catcher. He will be 
visible when the pitch is thrown.

Using Richie Sexon

Use the following steps to get Richie Sexton, one of the best batters in the 
game. Select "General Manager", then choose "Roster Moves" and go to "Minor 
Leagues". Choose the Cleveland Indians and bring up Richie Sexon. He has a sweet 
spot that is almost as large as his batting circle. If you make good contact, he 
will almost always hit a homerun. Do not be deceived by his hot/cold chart.

Prevent stats error

There is a known problem in the game that causes statistics loaded from a memory 
pak to become corrupted when loaded. To prevent this, load the statistics file 
twice in succession.

Dancing Player

When the opposing team scores, walk your player to home plate. Then the scoring player will be dancing.

Reversed Batter

Pause the game and replace the batter with a different player that bats with the same hand. Resume the game briefly until the new player is seen, then pause and return to the line-up screen. Then, replace that batter with a player that bats with the opposite hand.

Slower Game

Set the batting camera option to "Zoom" to have a slower game in almost all play modes.

Faster Base Running

Quickly tap Z to run to the next base or quickly tap R to return back to a base faster.

Extra Pitches

While playing a game in arcade mode, hold Z or L to access more pitches, including a split-fastball and screwball.

Home Run Derby Camera Control

Begin a normal game, not in Home Run Derby mode. Then, enable the manual camera view option. Exit the game, then begin a game in Home Run Derby mode. Use a controller not being used for the game to control the view. Press Left to pause the view or Right for slow motion.

Pause Camera View

Enable a manual camera, then press Up to stop the game.
