Balls System

Welcome to the Balls System

Welcome to the Balls System — the core of how scoring works in Home Run Heroes League! This unique system is designed to add excitement and challenge to your fantasy baseball experience, making every play matter. Each action that your players take on the field has a direct impact on your fantasy points. Whether it's a game-winning home run or a stolen base, every moment counts!

Here's how it works:

Points for Key Actions:

• Home Run (HR): A towering shot over the fence earns your team 10 points. This is the big one — the ultimate moment in baseball that brings home massive rewards.
• Single (1B): A base hit that gets the batter on first base is worth 3 points. Every bit of progress counts toward your victory!
• Double (2B): A powerful hit that sends the batter to second base? That's worth 5 points.
• Triple (3B): When your player hits for extra bases and makes it to third, you score 7 points — this is high-stakes fantasy action!
• Strikeout (SO): When a pitcher strikes out an opposing batter, they earn 4 points. Every strikeout adds value to your pitching staff!
• Walk (BB): A batter who walks gets on base without swinging — and that's worth 2 points.
• Stolen Base (SB): A swift runner stealing second base earns 6 points. The faster the base-stealer, the higher your points!

Negative Points for Specific Actions:

• Strikeout (K): A batter who strikes out will cost you -2 points. Don't let your players whiff!
• Caught Stealing (CS): If your player tries to steal but gets thrown out, that results in a -3 point penalty. Stay smart on the bases!
• Error (E): When a player commits an error on the field, it results in a -1 point deduction. Avoid the mistakes!

Special Scoring Opportunities:

• Grand Slam: A grand slam is a rare and powerful event in baseball — if your player hits a home run with the bases loaded, that's worth 20 points.
• Complete Game Shutout (CGSO): If your pitcher manages a complete game without giving up any runs, they earn a hefty 25 points. It's the perfect performance!

Strategy Tip:

Maximizing your points requires balancing offensive and defensive players, making strategic roster moves, and staying informed about player performances throughout the season. Use this system to your advantage and craft a team that consistently racks up points!

Now that you understand the Balls System, you're ready to start making the most of every action on the field. Let the games begin — and may the best manager score the most!
