Learn the simple rules of batting and pitching in Nintendo Switch Sports, including how to score runs and hit a home run.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The pitcher throws the ball towards the batter.
  2. 2
    The batter attempts to hit the ball out into the field.
  3. 3
    If the ball evades the catcher for long enough or isn't caught immediately, the batter can run around the pitch markers (Single, Double, or Triple).
  4. 4
    Once the runner reaches the base again, a point is scored.
  5. 5
    If the batter hits the ball out into the crowd or stadium, a Home Run is scored, and all runners on base advance to score points.
  6. 6
    There are a total of three innings in the game.
  7. 7
    Hitting the ball outside the white lines (the V) from the base results in a foul ball.
  8. 8
    You can have unlimited foul balls until you get a Strike (missing the ball) or hit the ball.
  9. 9
    Three Strikes result in the batter being out.
  10. 10
    Bunting is not a primary mechanic; attempting to hold the bat so the ball bounces down may result in a bunt by luck.
Tips
  • Aim to hit the ball into the field to allow runners to advance.
  • A Home Run scores multiple points and is a significant achievement.
  • Be mindful of the foul lines to avoid accumulating strikes.
