Gameplay
Pitcher performance statistics affect how well that pitcher throws at the beginning of a game compared to later, how often he uses a given type of pitch, and how well he performs against right-handed or left-handed batters.[4]
Development
High Heat Baseball 1999 was developed by Team .366, an internal development team of The 3DO Company.[5] Development begin in 1995 for 3DO's Opera system, then moved to the Panasonic M2, before finally being targeted towards PCs.[4] A PlayStation port of the game was announced,[4][5] but was never released.
The developers opted to cut out between-play action such as the ball being returned to the pitcher after a ball or strike, in order to keep games down to about a half-hour for players who do not have time for long gaming sessions.[4]
