Hi Nicol,
Personally I don't think that it would help in batting practice to know which
pitch is coming. My reason is that you will not know in the game, so it is
better practice to be more like in the game. I also do not at this point have
any plans for a new version, but if I do I will think about making it an option.
I am sorry, but I am not going to be able to explain the entire game and rules
of the game of baseball to you in an Email. It has been played in the United
States for over a hundred years. You would probably be able to find books and
books maybe even on line about the game of baseball.
I'll try to answer a couple of things quickly if I can. A baseball is round
with stitching around it to hold it together. I believe that it is something
like 2 and a quarter inches in diameter. It is covered with cow hide. A bat
is made of a hard wood. Ash maybe. It is round and vary widely in length,
weight and circumference depending on the batters preference. Of course the
batter is the man standing at the plate trying to hit the baseball that is
pitched. Ultimately he would like to hit it over the wall which is a home run
and means that he and any men on base run around all four bases and score runs
when they cross home plate which is where the batter stands waiting for the
pitch from the pitcher. First second and third base are square. Home plate is
five sided. Yes there are nine innings in the game of baseball. An inning is
both teams get to bat. They do get three outs each. A man on base is like
when the batter hits the ball and no one catches it and he is able to run to
first base before anyone of the nine fielders picks up the ball and throws it
to first base. The batter may run to second, third or even home base if he
thinks that he can make it without the ball being thrown there before him. At
first base they do not need to touch him with the ball to get him out. The
fielder just needs to have his foot on the base and the ball in his glove. At
the rest of the bases they need to touch him with the ball unless it is a force
out. A force out happens because there is a man on first base and the batter
hits the ball and runs to first base so the man that was on first base must
make it to second base before he is tagged or the ball is thrown there.
Well you see what I mean about how I could not possibly write about the entire
game and rules of the game of baseball.
One other thing before I go, no there are no sounds in the game of baseball
like the sounds that I put in my game to represent the baseball being pitched.
And it is not against the rules to throw nothing but fast balls. However in a
real game the batter would soon figure out that a fast ball was coming which
would give him a much better chance at hitting it.
I hope that helps some.
