Update history
Update 1.2.11
Added to the game as the basic zombie of the Hearty class.
Strategies
With
As Hearty's basic zombie, Baseball Zombie is outclassed by many other uncommon zombies from other classes that cost 1 brain like Dog Walker, Chimney Sweep, Tennis Champ, and Headstone Carver, as well as all other Hearty zombies, especially Arm Wrestler, which can be seen as a direct upgrade to Baseball Zombie, since they have the same tribes, class, and cost, but with Arm Wrestler having higher base stats and a useful ability.
However, since he is a sports zombie, Baseball Zombie can possibly wreak havoc with Team Mascot and Zombie Coach, and being so cheap and weak, he also serves as good Evolution fodder for Chum Champion (although putting Baseball Zombie deliberately in your deck for that purpose only is not highly reccomended).
Against
Baseball Zombie is very weak, so he shouldn't be much of a threat, although he can be a bit of a threat if Zombie Coach is protecting him, as well as Team Mascot boosting him.
Unlike the original Baseball Zombie mentioned in the Origins section, he wears a baseball glove. However, the original Baseball Zombie is seen wearing a baseball glove on PopCap Games' website.
