About Great Baseball

In this game, the player takes on the role of a manager and can field a total of 26 teams to battle for the league championship. The player either starts with offense or defense, playing through 9 innings as in a standard game of baseball. Team 1 goes to bat first and Team 2 goes to bat second. In a single player game, once the team in selected, the computer automatically selects the CPU controlled opponent. In two player games, each player can select their own team, but they have to be from the same league.

Once the starting pitcher is selected, the player can choose a specialty ball and stamina level. With more stamina, pitch speed and accuracy last longer. When batting, players are allowed up to four pinch hitters in each game. Pinch hitters are selected for a given inning just before the team goes up to bat. Players can select any player in the field except the catcher.
