Rock Ridge Games has announced that its first title, First Pitch Baseball, is now available in the Apple App Store. In First Pitch Baseball, players find themselves alone on the mound, “dealing with the exhilarating anxiety of throwing the first pitch in a stadium full of screaming fans.” Yikes!

In a simplistically addictive challenge, First Pitch Baseball requires sharp eyes and quick fingers to throw accurate pitches and impress the crowd. Just tap on the screen to put the First Pitch target in motion, and tap again when the ball is over the catcher’s mitt to throw a strike. It’s easy for anyone to pick up and play and a perfect way to pass the time during the stadium commute, pre-game downtime, or all the commercial breaks between innings.

First Pitch Baseball is now available at the Apple App Store for an introductory price of $0.99/£0.59, through the All-Star Weekend. There will also be game updates, including tools to track your perfect pitches and longest streak.

About The Author

Ben Robinson

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
