About Home Run Derby
Home Run Derby is a baseball batting game all about timing. Hold to charge your swing, drag to aim, and release as the pitch reaches the plate. Connect well and the ball sails out of the park; mistime it and it is a strike.
Out in the stadium you can smash billboards, glass panes and even the blimp for bonus points, so aiming matters as much as power. Each round has ten pitches, and every new round the pitcher throws nastier stuff, including curveballs. Three strikes and your derby is over, so stay focused and watch the wind-up. Your best score is saved so you can keep chasing a bigger number.
