Hidden Options: 


At the team selection screen, press X to display an options screen that allows 
you to change such things as the difficulty, weather, stadium, and time of game.





Reset the Count: 


While batting with a runner on any base, have the runner attempt a steal. Either 
go through with the steal or send him back. Quickly press Y before the view returns 
to your batter to reset the count to no balls and strikes.





Harder Swing:


Before the pitcher makes his selection, press R. When the pitch is thrown, your 
cursor will become small. If you hit the ball it will either be a home run, or 
a very hard hit.





Easy Homerun: 


When you are up to bat with a decent power hitter, move the top of the batting 
cursor to where the ball is being pitched. You will hit a homerun about 90% of 
the time.





Bean the Batter: 


After you select your pitch, move your cursor towards the batter and press Y.





Intentional Walk: 


After you select your pitch, move your cursor away from the batter and press Y.





Change Computer Pitched Shutouts: 


Go to your schedule screen. Press X to get the list of games and start times. 
When you simulate computer played games, and one of the teams pitches a shutout, 
you can simulate it again, until both teams score. You can also play games over 
when you or your opponent are shut out.


Easy Pickings: 


  Tag Runners Out After a computer player reaches a base, very quickly press the 
  A button to choose the pitch type, and then press B with the Analog-stick in 
  the direction of the base to try a pickoff play. The pitcher will throw it to 
  the baseman. When the throw gets to the base, run towards the base to get the 
  runner called out. You may need to run in a circle or two, or not get it at 
  first, but with practice you'll be able to pull it off. The glitch here is that 
  the Dreamcast doesn't count the runner permanantly on base once he touches it. 
  As the player begins to stand, his hands will be off the base. It's here that 
  you want to hit him. Easy Strikeouts When facing the Computer, pitch towards 
  the very corners of the strike zone. You have a much higher chance of jamming 
  the batter buy sticking to the very corners of the pitching zone. Reset the 
  Count While batting with a runner on any base, have the runner try to steal. 
  Either go through with the steal or send him back. Quickly press Y before the 
  view returns to your batting screen to reset the count to no balls and no strikes. 
  Whack a Batter After you have selected your pitch, move your cursor towards 
  the batter and press the Y button. Whack! Right in the noggin. 
No Ball No Strikes No Problem:


  When you are up to bat, with someone on base, steal a base. When they call him 
  out or safe, hit X and move the analog stick Left. You will come up to bat, 
  you will come up with no strikes and no balls!
