Optional Page: Learn the Core Game First
None of these inputs is required to bat, pitch, field, run the bases, or manage a game. Use this page after the standard controls feel comfortable.
Three Evidence Levels
| Label | Meaning | How to treat it |
|---|---|---|
| Confirmed in 2026 | Reproduced directly in the current release | Use with the stated timing and situation |
| Community documented | Reported for the current or immediately previous game | Treat as a testable lead |
| Legacy reference | Known from older ProSpi releases | Expect changes, different animations, or removal |
Current Testing Priorities
| Situation | Reported input | Expected result | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| During a home-run trot | L1 + R1 + D-pad direction | Direction-specific celebration | Community documented |
| Immediately after an outfielder catches the third out | □ + △ | Throw the ball into the stands | Community documented |
| Before the batter enters the box | L1 + R1 + ← / ↑ / → | Call a home-run direction | Legacy reference |
| Pitch-selection screen | L2, then choose command | Open situational pitching choices | Community documented |
| After a successful pitch | L1 | Pitcher touches the rosin bag | Community documented |
Celebration Timing
Hold L1 and R1 and press the direction while the batter is still circling the bases. Do not wait until the home-plate cutscene has taken control. Player-specific animations may not be available to every batter.
Decoy Sign: Keep Confirmed and Legacy Inputs Separate
| Side | Command after L2 | Action | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Offense | △ | Hit and Run | Confirmed in 2026 by ThaGreatMuta |
| Offense | R2, then △ | Squeeze | Legacy reference |
| Defense | ↑ | Pitchout | Legacy reference |
| Defense | ↑, then ↑ | Intentional Walk | Documented in older official material |
| Defense | R2 | Bunt Press | Legacy reference |
PRO SPIRIT 2026 calls this system Decoy Sign. Older community guides often called it Block Sign.
A Reliable Test
- Use an exhibition game and make the required event easy to reproduce.
- Avoid overlapping runner, throw, pause, or replay inputs.
- Try immediately, then slightly earlier or later.
- Keep player, stadium, controller layout, and situation stable.
- Save a screenshot or clip and mark the result confirmed, failed, or still uncertain.
Legacy Research Credit
The legacy research and translations are credited to Vernon and Muka of the Spirits Translation Team. ThaGreatMuta joined the team in 2019 and built its Pro Yakyū Spirits 2019 translation website. After Vernon and Muka retired, ThaGreatMuta began the independent ProSpi Translation project in 2024; that work later developed into ProSpi Insider. This archive preserves the earlier findings while separating historical behavior from current confirmation.
Use This Page as a Lab
- Core controls come first.
- Situation and timing are part of every hidden input.
- Do not present community or legacy reports as confirmed 2026 mechanics.
- Record repeatable evidence before changing an item’s status.
