Daily Challenge Same 10 pitches for everyone. One try. Climb the board.
Every day at midnight Arizona time there are 10 new pitches, the same for everyone. The ball hides partway to the plate and you tap where it will cross. You get one try, then post your score to the daily and weekly leaderboard.

Daily Challenge
Watch the pitch. When it disappears, tap where it will cross the plate.
Why a daily challenge
Two minutes a day beats an hour once a month. The Daily Challenge gives every hitter the same 10 pitches, so the leaderboard is a fair fight, and coming back every day builds the early read that wins at-bats.
Leaderboard names are made from a word list (like “Swift Falcon 12”), so nobody’s real name is ever shown.
