Virtual Boy's take on baseball features four different leagues and a variety of teams to choose from:
Asian League All-Star Team
European League All-Star Team
Special League Miracle Team*
The gameplay for batting involves using the left control pad to position the batter, pressing "A" to swing the bat, and using the "R or L" Shoulder buttons to bunt. At bat, field runners can steal base by choosing a base and pressing the "A" button. When fielding, the player uses the left D-Pad to position their player under the shadow of the ball and presses "A" to throw.
Pitching involves using the D-Pad to position the player and pressing "A" to bring up a pitching meter, then pressing the "A" button again to release the ball. The higher the meter is, the faster the ball will travel. There are only two pitches: Fastball (pressing the "A" button) and Forkball (pressing the "B" button).
There are three modes to choose from: 1P vs. CPU , where the player competes against the CPU, All Star , where the player chooses from one of three All-Star teams, and Pennant Race, where the player chooses a league and team to compete in every other team in that league.
