During the demonstration, producer Bill Trinen showed off the various gameplay mechanics, such as pitching, which has players pulling back on the Wii Remote to perform the wind-up, waiting for a pair of on-screen rings to match up, and then launching forward to release the pitch. Twisting the remote during the release will apparently put a spin on the ball, and pressing the A and B buttons together allowed Mario to put fire on a special pitch in the demo. When fielding as an outfielder, you can snap the Wii Remote towards the direction of the intended base to throw the ball and make diving catches by pressing the A button at the correct moment.
