wii baseball - what do the symbols on screen mean?

[bushbaby_de]

When you play wii baseball there are some icons in the top left hand cornet - a B, S and O. So the S stands for strike and the O stands for Out, but what is the B for? The little circles next to it never seem to get filled up, but the S and O fill up as players get strikes or caught out. I'm a bit confused so if anyone can shed some light i'd really appreciate it. Thanks

batsman?

well i wondered that but as i said the circles never get filled even when i play a full game so i'm wondering either if its broken or there is something that i haven't come across yet that fills them up (i've only got it today so not played it much)

The B stands for Ball. The pitcher has to put the ball into a rectangle from the batter's knee to their shoulder. If the pitch misses that box and you don't swing at it, then it's a ball. 3 of them for one batter and you get a "walk" which means you get to go to first base.

The only way to pitch a ball in the Wii version is to use the Splitter ball, otherwise it's not something you need to worry about. The computer will pitch balls that would be a "ball" if you didn't hit it, so it's something to look out for.

Hope that helps

ahh that makes a lot of sense, thank you ever so much for clearing that up :-)

Cakeboy is right all apart from the 3 balls part, its 4 balls and you walk, unless for some reason they have changed the rules of baseball on this game.
