How to Run The Bases Like a PRO:

Scenerio: Runners at 1st and 3rd sac fly, you only want to advance the runner at 3rd
Use the L analog stick, move it to the left (or where the baserunner is), the icon should start to flash while the runner on firsts icon is solid. After catch hit x (homeplate) to advance only the runner on 3rd.

Scenerio: 1st and 3rd, steal 2nd w/ the runner on first w/o moving the runner at third
Use the L analog stick, move it to the right (or where the baserunner is), hit L2 to steal.

Scenerio: Runner on 1st, you hit a ball to the gap. You will not make a double with the hitter but you can advance the runner on 1st to 3rd.
Use the L analog stick, move it up (or where the baserunner is), the icon should start to flash, while the hitters does not. I say up cause he'll be heading to 2nd, to advance hit square to 3rd.
