No-hit pitch
Position the crosshair anywhere outside the yellow
batting circle and hold it there. Hold Z and press [C-Up],
[C-Left], or [C-Right] to look at one of the bases.
Release [Z], then release the other button. The crosshair
will disappear from the pitching screen. Select and throw any
pitch, which will always be a strike or a ball.
Easy hits
Hold [B] while batting to move the cursor to where
the ball will be pitched. Release [B] as soon as the ball
is thrown and swing.
Easy pick off at first base
After the pitcher throws the ball, have the catcher
throw the ball to first base. Then, repeatedly press [A].
If done correctly, the runner will step off the base and the first
basemen will tag his feet. However, the game will not count it
as an out, even though the base runner is removed.
When pitching, hold [Z] + [C-Right], then release [C-Right].
Then, immediately release [Z] and press [C-Right]. The
runner on first should be out. Note: this only works once per
game
View CPU pitcher status
Press [R] on controller two while the CPU is pitching.
View opposing team's line-up
Press [C-Down] at the line-up screen if your team
is scheduled to play the following day.
Instantly rested pitchers
Turn an uninjured pitcher into a free agent, then immediately
re-sign him.
Automatic home run
Wait until you are controlling Ken Griffey Jr. at bat.
Press [Left]x2, [Right]x3, [Left]x2. Ken Griffey
Jr. will point his bat in the direction where the ball will be
hit to confirm correct code entry. Successfully connect on a pitch
to automatically hit a home run.
Alternate uniform color
Select exhibition mode and choose to be the home team.
Repeatedly tap [C-Left] + [C-Right] + [C-Up] +
[C-Down] at the black screen, after "Play Ball"
has been selected. Keep pressing those buttons until the screen
that shows the players running onto the field appears. If done
correctly, your team will be wearing their alternate uniform.
For example, the Mets normally wear white uniforms when playing
at home. After the code has been enabled, their shirts will be
black.
Get hit by a pitch
The following trick works best when the opposing pitcher
is tired. Enable the "Dancing batter code", followed
by the "Exploding batter" code. If the pitcher throws
a ball off the inside corner of the strike zone, your batter will
be hit by the pitch. Note: This does not work with the low-crouch
batters.
Free bean ball
When you are pitching throw the ball normally. If the
batter tries to bunt, try to hit him while he has his bat over
the plate. If you hit him, the umpire will call it a strike and
the ball will roll in front of the pitcher's mound. You can even
strike someone out using this method. Note: The batter has to
be trying to bunt. This also works in two player mode.
Start a fight
Hold [C-Left] + [C-Right] + [C-Up] +
[C-Down] and press [Z] after your batter is hit by a
pitch.
Disappearing runner
Wait until the CPU has a man on first base. After pitching,
and the batter either misses or if it is a ball, throw the ball
from the catcher throw to the first baseman. After he catches
the ball, tap [A] as fast as possible until the view focuses
back on the pitcher. The runner on first base should be gone after
the pitcher gets the ball back.
Faster draft
When the screen that are shows which teams picked which
player appears, press [Analog-stick Down].
Hints
Good hit
Begin game play with the pitching style set to "Classic".
Wait until the opposing pitcher is tired and wipes his forehead
or holds his knees. Then when he places his hands together, quickly
swing the bat to view the position of the green cross-hair.
Comment after catch
When catching a fly ball, get in to the circle, wait
until the last second, then press [A] or [B]. If timed
correctly, your player will jump/dive after catching the ball,
which not only looks funny but will get a compliment from Ken
Griffey Jr.
Note: Griffey Commentary must be on for this trick to work. When
the opposing team hits a fly ball, position yourself in the little
circle as the ball is coming down. Immediately before you catch
it, press [A] or [B]. Your fielder should jump or dive.
As soon as you catch it, press [A]. Instead of the announcer
saying the batters name, you will hear Griffey say something similar
to "What a catch" or "Look at that one handed grab".
Better season players
In season mode, set the draft off and have only twelve
teams play. Choose your team, then go to free agents. The players
from all the other eighteen teams that are not in the season will
be in the free agent pool. You can now draft superstar players
for your team.
