Create a rookie and name him HOT DOG. He will automatically have good stats.

When you can get bat graphics, select the flame bat. Then, try to get your power ratings to the maximum. Once you have done that you will automatically hit home runs.

A few batters before your rookie is up, try to get base hits with them. For example, use Carl Crawford, Hank Blaylock, and Justin Morneau. If you want to do this, load up the bases if possible. Once they are loaded you should be able to hit a home run with your rookie without problems. If you do this four times you will receive unlimited Power Blasts for the rest of the game.

When you fill up your and your opponent fills up their point bars, wait until your opponent uses Power Blast. Strike the batter out with Big Heat and you will get 100,000 points for a Big Strike Out. You must do this a few times.

On the Rookie Challenge you have the opportunity of stealing ten players. Take outfielders first because if somebody gets a hold of a hanging curve you want speed; glove; and if someone's in scoring position, a good arm. These are two groups of outfielders that have all that. These outfielders should improve your win percentage and increase your number of shutouts and no hitters for experienced players.
