Hooks: Heads-up Baseball is a phone-first baseball learning game that helps youth players build situational awareness and understand what to do next on the field. Players choose an age level and position, then practice decisions through scenarios tailored to their experience, from Tee Ball at 6U to 12U baseball. Lessons cover age-appropriate rules and plays, including where to throw, when to run, force plays, steals, passed balls, cutoffs, relays, tag-ups, bunts, and first-and-third situations.

Players can work through offensive and defensive scenarios, shuffle among all nine defensive positions, or try a harder mixed mode. The game also offers a full six-inning experience with a scoreboard, pass-and-play head-to-head games on one phone, and a scorebook for recording plays using standard notation. League-rule settings let users adjust which rules apply, while offline functionality makes the game usable without an internet connection. Designed for young players to learn by making baseball decisions, Hooks combines practice, game play, and scorekeeping in a portable format.
