It has the mechanical runners on the back that go around the bases when you get basehits. Works fine.  It is a fun game.  It has been our home-used game for about 25 years.  One side and the front were repainted sometime before it was acquired.  The left side has the original paint.  The backglass has some flaking.  Some wear to the playfield on the rails. Very fun game.  Works well, and it's fun to use the lever to swing the bat!  You can repeatedly swing the bat...it's not one-swing-per-pitch, like some later pitch-n-bat baseball pinballs. Two people can play!  Also fun for one player! 1961 Williams DeLuxe Batting Champ Last full woodrail pitch and bat by Williams.
