Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball (USA) - Sports Classic
Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball hit the Sega Game Gear in 1995, part of a multiplatform wave of baseball simulations bearing the name of the Chicago White Sox slugger. This is an official MLBPA-licensed release, so it uses real player names and stats from that era. The Game Gear version shrinks the experience down to a handheld screen, but keeps the core of what made the console editions popular among fans of the sport.

Getting Started
When you fire up Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball, you first pick a team and then choose to play an exhibition game or enter a season mode. The core loop is straightforward: you pitch, the opponent bats, then you switch sides. On offense, time your swing with the pitch speed and location to make contact. On defense, choose a pitch type and location before delivering.
Fielding is handled automatically for the most part, but you can move your fielders with the D-pad and throw to bases using the face buttons. Base running is also automated unless you decide to steal or lead off. The game uses a simple batting cursor and pitching meter that requires timing and a bit of practice. There is no saving progress, so plan your sessions accordingly.
