How to Substitute Players in Baseball Blitz
Introduction
During a live game, Baseball Blitz allows you to make player
changes directly from the field screen. You can replace the current hitter,
assign a new runner, or change a defensive player without leaving the scoring
screen.
Step 1: Open the Field Screen
Open the game you are scoring and go to the Score tab. The field screen displays the current hitter, base runners, and defensive players in their assigned positions.
Step 2: Tap the Current Hitter to substitute with other player
Tap the hitter positioned at home plate. A menu will appear
showing the available options for that player.
Select one of the following options:
- Pinch
Hitter: Replaces the current hitter with another available player.
- Skip
to Different Batter: Moves to another batter in the lineup.
Choose the option that matches the situation in your game.
Step 3: Select the New Batter
The Select Batter screen will display the players in the lineup. Tap the player you want to send in as the new batter.
Once selected, Baseball Blitz will return you to the field screen, where the new batter will appear at home plate.
Step 4: Tap the Runner to change
On the field screen, tap the runner you want to replace. A
menu will open with the available running options.
You will see the following options:
- Pinch
Runner: Replaces the current runner with another player.
- Courtesy
Runner: Assigns an eligible player to run temporarily for the current
runner.
Tap the option you want to use.
Step 5: Select the New Runner
Choose the player you want to send in from the available lineup or bench list. Players who are not eligible for the selected substitution may appear unavailable.
After you select a player, the field screen will update automatically and show the new runner on the base.
Step 6: Change the Fielder
To make a defensive change, tap the fielder at the position you want to update. A Replace Fielder menu will appear with the players available for that position.
Tap the player you want to assign to the selected fielding position. Baseball Blitz will apply the change and update the field automatically.
You can use these options throughout the game to manage
hitters, runners, and fielders while keeping the scoring process moving
smoothly.
