Time your swing — crush cans out of the park!

Step up to the plate and crush aluminum cans out of the park. The pitcher throws fastballs, changeups, and curveballs at different heights and speeds. Time your swing perfectly and hit the sweet zone for a home run, or mistime it for a foul or strike. Twenty pitches per game, three outs maximum. How many bases can you rack up?

Tips and Strategy

• Changeups look like fastballs. Lean slightly later on ambiguous wind-ups.
