Easy hits
When playing the CPU hold [Down] while hitting
and press "Power". The batter should get a hit approximately
90% of the time. This is especially useful in spring training
mode.
Easy homeruns
Hold "Up/Left" when at bat and keep the buttons
held after the ball is hit. This will make the ball fly past the
left fielder, however he may catch the ball.
Easy strikeouts
Get a pitcher with a good arm and a sinker. Pitch a
sinker to the batter inside and down a little bit, outside the
strike-zone. If the right spot is found, keep pitching there to
strike the batter out in five pitches.
Charge the catcher
Repeatedly tap [X] when running home and your
runner will ram the catcher. At times, this may cause the catcher
to drop the ball. Note: Auto Sliding must be enabled.
Hitting accuracy
After the pitcher chooses where to place the pitch,
press a direction on the D-Pad to view where the ball travels.
Press [Up] if you wish to hit straight in the air or into
centerfield, press [Down] for hitting a ground ball. The
ball may not go to certain places because of where the ball is
pitched (inside, outside, high, or low).

Glitch: Frozen players
When a CPU player runs to get a fly ball in the outfield,
at the last second come up and catch the ball. When you catch
the ball, run around so that game does not continue to the next
batter. The CPU player that tried to catch the ball should remain
there frozen, with his arms up. You cannot unfreeze him by running
into him -- you will be knocked down and he will be still frozen
trying to catch the ball. The player will return to normal when
you go to the next batter.
Glitch: Pinch hitter pitches
Pinch hit for your pitcher in any inning. When you
pitch again, your pinch hitter will be pitching.
