Gameplay

Tony La Russa Baseball 4 is presented as a traditional baseball simulation. On the field, pitching is straightforward: players select from a handful of pitches, aim within the strike zone, and let the pitcher's ratings determine the outcome. Batting, players can choose to swing for contact, power, or normally. The game's management and simulation systems allow players to set managerial preferences and trust the AI to run the team, while the simulation engine processes entire seasons in minutes. [2]

Reception

GameSpot gave the game a score of 5.3 out of 10 stating "Even with its few strong points (simulation, management), this product is far from a winner. There are already five traditional computer baseball games on the market this year, and Tony La Russa Baseball 4 is the worst of the lot" [2]
