Championship Baseball is a two-player game only (there is no one-player vs. computer option) that requires the use of the Milton Bradley MBX system to play. The batter takes control of the MBXjoystick and uses the trigger button to swing the bat. The batter also uses the control knob to control the strength and speed of the swing. The 3 buttons on the back of the joystick control provide options while running the bases like sliding. The batter also has other options like leading off, steal bases, and run back to a previous base.  The player on defense (i.e. in the outfield) controls his/her players using the MBX keypad with the Championship Baseball overlay. Using the MBX keypad, the outfield player can select a specific player on the field and then chose what that player will do such as throw or catch the ball. The MBX keypad also gives the outfield player the ability to select the type of pitch to throw. This offers multiple options including the speed of the pitch (slow, medium, or fast), and where the pitch is to be placed (inside, middle, or outside). The game itself plays just like regular baseball.
