Manager’s Tip: Pitching to your fielding alignment

Ok, you’ve got a right-handed hitter up and you’re cheating
your outfielders to the left hoping he’ll pull the ball.
Make sure you pitch him inside. If you give him a ball on
the outer half of the plate, he can go the other way and hit
it where your fielders aren’t.

SEASON MODE

When you start a new season, you need to make several
choices to set some things up. Here is a list of the options
you’ll have to choose from.
