How to Pitch
First, you must select the type of pitch to throw. A
Pitch Type Selector will be displayed inside the
strike zone. The directions on the bar on the Pitch
Type Selector indicate the types of pitches the
pitcher can throw (the diagram to the right is for
right-handed pitchers; for left-handed pitchers, left
and right are reversed), and the length of each
graph indicates its effectiveness. Press the Control
Stick in the direction of the bar to select the type
of pitch.
Picking Off the Runner
After the pitcher comes set (after you have selected
the type of pitch to throw), press the B Button
simultaneously and the Control Stick to the selected
base (p.8) to pick-off base runners.
Once the pitch has been made, if a base runner
attempts to steal a base, you can control the
catcher and throw the ball similar to any fielder
(see FIELDING on p.8).
