TIPS AND TRICKS

Tips from Alex DeMeo:

"To judge a fly ball, chase the ball's shadow - NOT THE BALL ITSELF! It'll always land to your advantage - trust me!"

"Remember to watch the flashing arrows in the small baseball diamond at the top of your screen, when trying to decide which base you want to throw the ball to."

"Of course, official baseball rules apply... 3 strikes, you're out, 4 balls, take your base. 3 outs, the innings over. And so on."
