Reset the count:
While batting with a runner on any base, have the runner
attempt a steal. Either go through with the steal or send him
back. Quickly press Y before the view returns to your batter
to reset the count to no balls or strikes.

Extra hit:
Do the "Reset the count" trick multiple times
and your batter will have an extra hit. For example, with a man
on first that steals, use the trick. The hitter will now have
an extra hit.

Easy homerun:
When you are up to bat with a decent power hitter,
move the top of the batting cursor to where the ball is being
pitched. You will hit a homerun about 90% of the time.

Hint: Easy hit:
Press R trigger before the pitcher makes his
selection. When the pitch is thrown, your cursor will become small.
If you hit the ball it will either be a home run, or a very hard
hit.

Hint: Easy strike out:
When pitching, paint the corners and the batters will
not swing, making a easy strike out. It does not matter if it
is their hot or cold zone, but you should still pitch it in their
cold zone.

If you have two strikes already, pitch a fastball as the first
pitch followed by any other pitch. On then the last pitch, throw
a curveball low and away.

Hint: Pick runners off the bases:
After a CPU runner reaches a base, very quickly press
A to select the pitch type, then press B and the
Analog-stick in the direction of the base to try a pickoff
play. The pitcher will throw it to the base. After the throw gets
to the base, run towards the base to get the runner called out.
For example, if there is a CPU runner on first base, immediately
after the pitcher-hitter screen appears, throw over to first base.
Then, after the first basemen catches it, run to the right of
first base or run in circles around the baserunner. It may not
work at first, but keep repeating it.

Hint: Large batting target:
Hold R while hitting, before the pitcher starts
his windup. The batting target will appear later than usual, and
will be larger. The target will return to normal as the ball crosses
the plate.

Hint: Change computer pitched shutouts:
Go to your schedule screen. Press X to get the
list of games and start times. When you simulate computer played
games, and one of the teams pitches a shutout, you can simulate
it again, until both teams score. You can also play games over
when you or your opponent are shut out.
