THIS GAME IS GOOD FOR KIDS WHO NEED HELP WITH:

Flexibility

A key component to winning in this game is too switch up your approach. If players toss the same pitch over and over, their strategy will become easy to predict and thus easy to defeat. When at bat, players need to be able to quickly adapt to different pitches, knowing how to react to curveballs, sliders, change-ups, fastballs, and even knuckle balls.

Focus

In order to time swings just right, players need to remain highly focused on the pitcher's movements and the speed of the ball. Swing to early and you could get a foul ball, while waiting too long results in a strike. In order to maximize the power of their swing and time it just right, players need to watch the pitcher and keep their eyes trained intently on the ball.

Self-Control

Response inhibition plays a big role when trying to time swings, as the pitcher will try to throw players off by alternating between slow and past pitches. Rather than impulsively swinging the bat, players need to pause briefly in order to asses the pitch and swing accordingly. Players that act impulsively may end up swinging too early and find themselves striking out.
