Knuckle ball
Press [Left] + [Circle] to throw a knuckleball
when it is not listed as an available pitch.
Better defense
Before throwing the first pitch, move the outfield
in two "clicks" and over either to the left or right
to align the center fielder behind the pitcher. Note: The center
fielder should not be all the way up (at second base). If that
happens, move him back one click. Most of the time, with any line
drive or normal base hit to the outfield, you can throw the runner
out at first base by using a "power throw". This works
especially well with the "Powerup Defense". There is
also still time to get back to the wall if he hits a long fly.
