The Bigs 2 for PlayStation 2

Choose your pitches carefully - back the batter up? Nail the sweet spot? Heat through the wheelhouse? You've got major decisions to make when you're in the Show! Pitchers are now the aggressor and will have to use their pitches carefully. If a batter hits a double, triple, or home run on one of your pitches, you'll lose a bit of pitch stamina or energy. Too many hits, and you'll lose the pitch for the rest of the game! But if you strike out a batter by pitching through his wheelhouse, you'll gain turbo for blazing fastballs. Custom-build a player and play through Become a Legend Mode, where you'll start small and grow to superstardom. And of course, Home Run Pinball is back!
