How To Play Baseball 9
The controls are super easy to pick up - you’ve got two simple thumb controls on the screen that handle everything from pitching to batting.
When you’re pitching, just tap and hold to pick your pitch type, then slide your thumb to aim where you want the ball to go. The physics engine is really impressive - you’ll see the ball curve and break based on the type of pitch you throw. I love how you can mix up fastballs, curves, and sliders to keep batters guessing.
Batting is just as intuitive. You’ve got a power swing and a contact swing to choose from. Pro tip: I usually start with contact swings until I get a feel for the pitcher’s timing. The hitting controls are responsive - you’ll feel like you’re really connecting with the ball when you nail that perfect swing timing.
| Control Type | Action | Tips |
|---|---|---|
| Pitching | Tap + Hold + Slide | Mix up pitch types and locations |
| Batting | Tap for Contact/Power | Time your swings with pitcher’s motion |
| Fielding | Auto or Manual | Start with auto until comfortable |
Fielding can be either automatic or manual - I suggest starting with auto fielding while you learn the basics. Once you’re ready, manual fielding lets you dive for balls and make spectacular plays. The animations are smooth and your players move naturally across the field.
Understanding Player Stats and Skills
Each player has unique attributes that determine their performance.
For batters, these stats matter most:
- Contact: Affects how often you make solid contact
- Power: Determines how far the ball travels
- Speed: Impacts base running and fielding range
- Batting Eye: Helps you spot balls from strikes
Pitchers need to focus on:
- Control: Affects pitch accuracy
- Movement: Determines break on pitches
- Velocity: Impacts pitch speed
- Stamina: How long they can pitch effectively
| Position | Primary Stats | Secondary Stats |
|---|---|---|
| Batters | Contact, Power | Speed, Eye |
| Pitchers | Control, Movement | Velocity, Stamina |
| Fielders | Range, Reaction | Arm Strength, Accuracy |
I’ve learned that building a balanced team is key. Don’t just focus on power hitters - you need good fielders and consistent contact hitters too. For pitchers, I prioritize control over velocity. A pitcher who can hit their spots consistently is more valuable than one who just throws heat.
