Wii Sports/Baseball Training

Hitting Home Runs
The pitcher will toss ten balls at you and your job is to hit as many as you can. They will only count if the ball is a home run. If the ball goes further than 300 feet, then you pretty much have a home run. If you can manage to get the ball out of the park, you gain a huge shout from the audience. To get it out of the park, you will need a ball to go about 600 ft.

At first, you pretty much won't care how far your hits will go, as long as you get home runs. However to get the Platinum medal, you need to hit all ten shots and your score must be 5700 ft. or higher to qualify. Learning and when to hit the ball is your biggest bet in getting that great score. Hitting the ball too early or too late results in the ball traveling past the foul line, which doesn't count.

Swing Control
As before, the pitcher will throw ten baseballs at your way and your job is to hit them. This time though, you have to hit the ball in the blue shaded area. The darker the color, the more points you earn. The path the ball takes will be shown in orange.

The first four throws takes the ball in a straight path. Hit the ball at the correct time to get the ball in that spot. Throws 1, 2, 3, & 4 are absolutely straight so just hit the ball at the right time. Throws 5, 6, & 7 takes the path a little to the left (or right if you are left handed). Hit the ball a little early and the ball will lean to the left but don't hit the ball very early! Throws 8, 9, & 10 take the path to the right (or left if you're left handed). Hitting the ball a little late should make the ball travel a little to the right. But don't hit the ball too late!

Batting Practice
The pitcher is now mad at you! He will let lose and throw you 30 balls, one at a time. Your job is to hit as many as you can out of the possible 30. The first few shots are over the plate but don't be fooled! He can throw curve balls, slow ones, and fast ones! Be aware!

Remember everything you know about batting. The balls don't have to go anywhere, but they cannot be foul balls because those don't count. You really need to practice a lot if you want to get all 30 of them. Easier said then done!
