I mean, let’s face it, when all you do is either pitch the ball or hit the ball, things get boring.

As it is, the number of bases rounded is purely a matter of the software making a determination based on where the ball lands in relation to fielders. Isn’t it pretty much a no-brainer to have added “shake the wiimote up and down as fast as you can to run to the bases” ? Likewise, it seems a no brainer to have added “shake the wiimote up and down as fast as you can to get the ball fielded and thrown back in as fast as possible”. Or why not let the pitching player, once the ball is being fielded, point and select the base he or she wants the ball thrown to?
