The players have 30 baseballs thrown at them by a pitching machine and must hit as many of them as possible. There are four types of pitches: a standard pitch, a fastball, a slowball, and a screwball that wobbles furiously. Which pitch is thrown depends on how long the machine winds up to throw. A fast wind-up indicates a slowball, a normal wind-up is the standard pitch, a slow wind-up is the fastball, and an even slower wind-up is the screwball. If two balls come toward the character, it counts as one ball, since the player can hit only one of those two. If the player manages to hit a ball at one of the spectators, the spectator will be dazed for a moment. The player who hits the most balls wins.

This minigame appears in the "Decathlon" modes in both ''Mario Party 5'' and ''The Top 100''. It is the sixth minigame in ''Mario Party 5'', and the first minigame in ''Mario Party: The Top 100''{{'}}s Half Decathlon. Here, the player's objective is to hit as many balls as possible to earn as many points as possible, up to 1,000. In both games, a player can get 1,000 if they can hit all 30 balls. The default record for this minigame in Mini-Game Decathlon is 17 points in ''Mario Party 5'' and 10 points in ''The Top 100''.

Players earn ~47.368 points times the number of balls hit for the first 19 balls; after 19 balls, the player will score 900 points plus another ~9.091 points for each additional hit. Decimals are rounded down.

The scoring in ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' is much more lenient. A result of 20 gives the player 909 points; the same result in ''Mario Party 5'' gives the player only 500 points.<ref>https://youtu.be/Xu8jGhmig0I?t=503</ref>

In ''Mario Party 5'' and ''Mario Party Superstars'', the camera changes angle and the bats disappear. The winner(s) then perform their victory animation(s) while the loser(s) perform their losing animation(s), as the crowd cheers and confetti and balloons appear to commend the winner's/winners' success. In ''Mario Party 5'', if any player manages to hit all 30 balls, a hot air balloon with a big number 30 on it will appear.
