Mini League Baseball is a multiplayer Toad's Rec Room minigame appearing in Super Mario Party.
Overview[edit]
The players are split into two teams of two and play three, six, or nine innings, taking turns batting and pitching. Every pitch results in one of four outcomes: a hit, a strike, a foul ball, or an out. Once the pitcher pitches the ball, the batter must swing the ball into one of the red side doors to score a hit. Hitting into any of the red field holes counts as an out, and hitting into the green troughs along the walls counts as a foul. Each hit grants the batter a Toad teammate at another base, and getting a Toad to the home plate scores the batting team a run. Once three outs are recorded, both teams switch places and repeat the process. After the given number of innings, the team with more runs wins.
Playing the minigame on a 2-vs.-2 setup changes the gameplay slightly: There are two batters, one pitcher, and one field catcher controlling the three red field holes by moving them to the left or to the right. Every inning also makes both players change positions when taking the field. The player takes turns with their teammate controlling the red field holes (moving them left and right to have the ball fall into them) or pitching the ball, and when it is their turn to bat.
