FAQs

How do I improve my batting average in Hotfoot Baseball?

Focus on timing rather than clicking speed. Watch the ball carefully from the pitcher's hand and swing when it reaches the strike zone. Practice against various pitchers to develop better timing.

Why don't my hits travel far even with good timing?

Perfect hits require both timing and positioning. Aim to connect with the middle of the bat for maximum distance. Early or late swings result in weaker hits regardless of positioning.

Balance consistent hitting with strategic play. Focus on making contact with the ball before attempting power hits, learn each opponent's pitching patterns, and capitalize on scoring opportunities when runners are in position.
