* **Dynamic Control:** You have full control over batting (choosing between Power, Contact, or Bunting) and pitching (selecting pitch types like fastballs, sliders, and curves).

* **Automated & Manual Play:** Fielding is mostly automated, but you can influence throws. Base running can be handled by the CPU or manually controlled for strategic steals.

### Team Management & Customization
