It has the best mechanics out of all VR baseball games I've played. It's a neat game to jump into every now and then. I can't remember how much I paid for it, but its worth it for me.

The batting simulation is actually pretty good!
Granted, it doesn't hold a candle to WIN Reality. But if you don't have a Quest 2, or if you don't want to spend the $30 per month on Win Reality, this is the best alternative I've found.

For starters, this game helped me hit faster pitches irl and pitches that have a lot of rpm's like a curveball or a slider. It also helped my swing flatten out and I hit a lot of doubles and triples these last few games. Finally, Big Hit VR Baseball made an impact in my friends that made them hit better as well and are team has become unbeatable!

I wish the game was still being updated and wasn't abandoned. I've spent so much time in this game and would definitely recommend it to others even though there won't be anymore updates.

I love how it just works as a swinging practice. Personally I have never played the sport before besides watching Ohtani and Judge dropping bombs after bombs, and I casually spent 40 minutes on first session with it. Swung for around 300 pitches at 76-ish heaters, and missed almost 250 of it.
Holy moly mother of loving god I am doggon dogshit at swinging at baseball.
A solid 8/10.

Big Hit VR Baseball is generally one of the big things I wanted in a VR baseball experience: Batting practice. Homerun derby and homerun smashing all the way around is real fun. First day I got it I probably swung at 800 or so pitches and my arm won't be feeling too great tomorrow.
PROS:
-Hitting is pretty smooth
-6 different pitches, 5 different difficulty (speeds) each, and the ability to spot pitches means fantastic variety
-Can change ball size for a little help or general fun
-Can change how hard the ball is hit and flies for REAL fun... Get to see balls soar over buildings and hit 800ft on a line
-Simple controls
CONS:
-Price: $25 is not really reasonable for the content provided in this game. I paid becuase I was willing to give it a chance so I could give feedback in HOPES that the developers add new stuff or change a couple of the bugs I found
-Bug 1: So people have been saying the ability to refresh a pitch and reload the pitcher bugs out on them, some say they have to reset for it to fix... I encountered this issue and my findings is that it glitches like that if you press the bottom button to open up the Steam/Vive menu (opening the in game menu to change pitch selections is fine, but the other way around will cause the pitch to fail to be reloaded when you don't make contact). I don't know if this is the only reason it happens, but I started to notice the pattern a couple hours in, then I was able to properly load all my pitches when I didn't look at the Steam menu during a 450 pitch marathon.
-Bug 2: The achievement 'Measuring Tape' in which you hit a ball 800 feet failed to register for me even after hitting 4 balls over 800 feet. I don't see any extra stipulations and I did it with HOF fastball, juice 5, ball x1 size.
-Can wear ya out pretty fast: Swinging a lot can hurt if you don't stop when you should, but otherwise it really can't hold someone's attention that doesn't like just swinging a bat. It'd be nice to get to do a full 9 inning game, or some other things like leaderboards for homerun derby's and homerun distances per pitch.
EDIT:
One thing I forgot to mention; it'd be nice if you could recalibrate and reposition the homeplate positioning in the play area. For me it had the homeplate almost in the wall of my boundary, it wasn't much of an issue but it'd be nice to not have to worry about swinging your remote into a dresser or a wall by moving or recalibrating a few inches back or so.
EDIT 2:
Another thing I just found out about the achievements... They fail to register and award you the achievements for hitting 10 homeruns in homerun derby. Yes I made sure the pitcher was Ace, ball was no greater than x4, and it was juice 3. Just another bug that I hope can be fixed.

Still worth 12.99.
Content wise it's literally a batting practice simulator. But honestly it has enough features to keep you coming back and honestly is insanely addictive.
You got different baseball sizes, different pitches that can be set to different speeds, and an option to juice the balls on how far they go when you hit them.
games a 10/10. super simple and insanely addictive.

It doesn't look like much but in this game I can put the baseball size to 1.0, track it and hit it. And the batted ball physics feel right most of the time. It feels like the ball goes where you hit it. And hitting the ball is sufficiently challenging.
Too bad this is the least visually appealing baseball game I've seen.
I wish somebody would just give me a batting cage that works. So far this is the closest I've seen.

After many hours on this game with homerun derby tournaments vs friends, and many more challenging myself with a all HOF pitcher (hall of fame) (very difficult by the way but I like a challenge) I have found this to be by far my favorite sports game even over rec room and many others. It feels very consistent and smooth and although it can be a bit FRUSTRATING AT TIMES if you just step back and take a deep breath you're back in homer land. Don't get me wrong this game is great and is one of the more fun vr experiences especially for a high school b-ball player like myself, but... it would be nice to have some sort of progression (some different bat skins or ball coverings etc.) or some new pitches like maybe a impossible to hit knuckle ball or a two-seam or something along those lines.
SHORT SUMMARY: This is a good game for anyone who is passionate about baseball and wants to see how it feels to be in a major league batters box. (btw don't buy pitch-hit vr baseball it is boring)

This game is everything I could've asked for in a vr baseball game. The hitting engine and mechanics are very realistic, responsive, and accurate. Anyone looking for a baseball vr game, this game is your best option. The price is very reasonable, and I have gotten my moneys worth for sure (over 500 hours recorded) and strongly recommend this game to anyone.
