The Baseball Bro. is a subspecies of Hammer Bro. that specializes in pitching baseballs.
Appearance[]
Originally, Baseball Bros. looked identical to the typical Hammer Bro., other than the orange-plated armor they wore.
They may also appear in a more distinguishable outfit. This newer design includes a red helmet, red-soled white boots, and a shell featuring a white carapace and red marginal shields.
Where this second appearance is used, the Batter Bro. shares all of these characteristics, but carries a wooden baseball bat as well.
Behavior[]
Baseball Bros. are usually teamed up with Batter Bros.. In this case, the former pitches the ball to the latter, who then hits the baseball, redirecting its trajectory into an arc towards Mario.
Alone, a Baseball Bro. will simply throw his baseballs in Mario's general direction. The balls are thrown quickly and travel in a roughly horizontal line.
The baseballs thrown by a Baseball Bro. may be carried and weaponized by Mario under certain circumstances, such as after the Bro.'s defeat—although this varies between games, if the mechanic is present at all.
