Easy strikeouts
Note: The following trick will not work in All-Star mode. Throw your fastball at full power and a breaking pitch (slider or curveball). If you have a right hander, throw the first pitch high and inside to a batter. Throw the second pitch coming across your body (for example, with a right hander to the right side of screen -- player's right) low and outside/inside depending on the batter (left or right hitter). The first two pitches should both be fastballs. Throw the third pitch as a breaking ball going away from your body (for example, with a right hander to the left side of screen -- players left) low and outside/inside (again depending on batter). Give a little bit of movement towards the end of all these pitches with the Analog-stick. If done correctly, your strikeouts will increase.

Play as the Oakland A's and pitch with Zito. If the batter is right-handed, throw a curveball in the top left corner of the strike zone. Then, throw a slider in the same location. Next, throw another curveball in the same location. If the batter is left-handed, throw him pitches in the top right hand corner.

Easy out
When pitching, throw the ball down low and they will usually ground out.

Throw fastballs down and in. The batter will most likely swing and miss, or hit a lazy fly ball.

Hide the ball
Press [R1] when you are pitching to hide the ball.

Pitching
Keep an eye on the pitcher's energy level. When the pitcher gets tired, consider bringing in a reliever. The more heat he throws, the more tired your pitcher gets.

Throws
Aggressive throws are by nature less accurate than normal throws. Save them for when you have to make the big play.

Batting
The closer you get the center of your batting cursor to the center of the ball, the more power you get out of your swing.

Scoring
If it is going to be a close play at the plate for your base runner, tap [Down] repeatedly to barrel into the catcher. The collision may knock the ball loose.
