STEP UP.

Watch the pitcher. Tap the field as the ball approaches the plate. The bat takes a moment to arrive — swing just before the ball reaches you.

One tap, one swing. Timing changes the actual bat path: early contact pulls left with a steeper angle; late contact drives right on a flatter path. Square contact can leave through any fair lane — center is deepest and the lines are shorter. The first three pitches are readable batting-practice fastballs. Changeups fade and curves drop later in the round; the pitch badge and colored ball wake tell you what is coming. After every swing, exit speed, launch angle, direction and squared-up contact show you exactly what happened. Ten pitches, including misses.

Touch or mouse: tap the field. Keyboard: Space. No aiming, power meter or extra swing.
