About the GameMVP Baseball 2004 gives you control of baseball at two different scales: the decisions made during an at-bat and the work of building an organization over time. You can take the field with a major-league team, explore its AA and AAA farm clubs or concentrate on a batting or pitching challenge. The GameCube edition brings those pieces together around a revised hitting system and more direct control over plays in the field and on the bases.The result is a baseball game in which managing a club and playing a game are connected choices.

In the field, it gives you control of dives and sliding catches. On the bases, you can choose slides, including a hook slide or an attempt to break up a double play, and you can challenge a catcher at home plate.
