Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball (ビッグハート ベースボール) is a 1995 baseball game for the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Game Gear, Sega Saturn, SNES, and other consoles by Iguana Entertainment and Acclaim.

When pitching, you choose the type of pitch you want to make from a series of lists. If the ball has been hit, you have full control over the rest of the team to try to knock the other guy out; in this case, all the buttons will throw the ball to the nearest player facing you. When swinging, you can only move horizontally across the batting area and have only one type of swing.
