Batting Center Tips

Remember Pitch Type Timings.

The timing to hit the ball depends on the type of pitch. Be sure to adjust to each pitch type’s speed and trajectory to hit a home run as much as possible.

Using the Safety Bat

If you find it difficult to hit the ball with a regular bat, you can purchase the Safety Bat which has a significantly larger sweet spot (sphere position) and is very easy to use. Note that points earned using are lowered so you may need to play more games to rack up points than you would with using the default bat or Master Bat.
