Look out for swing pitches. You will not have the ability to hit these so let them cruise by for a ball. Constantly attempt to obtain a little bit lower in the battler's box as it will not just offer you room to swing, however will supply a much better chance to hit a home run out of the park. Tap on them and they'll be off running by the time the pitcher enters his movements if you see any base runners in excellent position to swipe a base.
You can depend on one pitch that a lot of AI batters will swing at merely by holding Up on the virtual control pad and attacking the pitch button. Do not use this all the time since in some cases the ball will fly loose and a batter will smack it. Mix your pitches in between slow-moving and quick, and attempt to toss outside the lines every once in a while to see if you can trick the batter. When you see a diamond-shaped grid in the lower right corner of the display when running around the bases use it to choose to opt for additional bases or slide back if you see the ball returning.
