MayBolt Media announces Thumb Slugger, a one-thumb baseball game
A baseball game you play with one thumb. Flick to swing, flick fast to run, and beat the other team's target in three innings.
October 10, 2026 — MayBolt Media today announced Thumb Slugger, a baseball game for iPhone and Android. There is no account.
Updated October 13, 2026. Thumb Slugger is on Google Play, and the iPhone version is coming soon.
Swing with a flick
Flick up through the pitch. The angle of the flick sets where the ball goes, and a harder flick sends it farther. To take a pitch, don't flick. Timing decides how well you hit it, and the game calls it as you swing, so you see right away whether it was Good or Early.
Run the bases with the same thumb
Once the ball is in play, flick toward a base to send a runner. Flick again to go faster. Tap a runner to send them back.
Three innings to beat the target
Each game is a chase. The other team has a target, and you need to pass it. Pass it early and you keep batting through the third inning. A tie sends the game to a bonus inning, and your first run wins it.
Three leagues of eight teams
The ladder runs one team at a time, and the last team in each league is the final. Win it to move up to the next league and its stadium. Sandlot has fastballs only and is played at Sandlot Park. Rising Stars adds a changeup and a curve at Riverside Ballpark. Big Show makes the fastballs faster, adds a slider, and is played at Big Show Stadium.
Cosmetics, leaderboards and achievements
A shop with four tabs of cosmetics is paid for with coins, and a rewarded ad can earn coins. Four leaderboards and ten achievements run through Game Center on iPhone and Google Play Games on Android. Signing in to either is optional.
Availability
Thumb Slugger is on Google Play for Android phones with Android 8 or later, in portrait. The iPhone version, for iOS 15 or later, is coming soon. There is no account. The privacy policy is published.

iPhone: coming soon to the App Store
