You play baseball with Mr.Papi (red ball guy)! Tap the batter for swing. You should hit a ball timely to get more score. When a ball comes over the batter, tap the area above the batter for JUMP SWING. If you miss a ball, you get an OUT. When you record three outs, the game is over.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: PapiBatting at Free against Doodle Jump's $1.99. PapiBatting also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 11) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.6). Doodle Jump's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.6) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
