• 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. | [Sent by DayleJ]

• 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. | [Sent by DayleJ]
