They use teamwork with their green-colored counterparts, [[Green Glove]]s. If a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] throws an [[Yoshi Egg]] toward one, the Sluggers will hit it back with the bat. Although it won't hurt them, it might push them. This can often lead to Yoshi missing a jump and falling into a pit or lava. However, if Yoshi jumps on top of the thrown egg, it allows him to perform a larger [[Flutter Kick]]. If a Yoshi throws a [[Chomp Rock]] at them, they will hit it back at Yoshi.  A Slugger can also deflect any seeds spat at them from a [[Watermelon (Yoshi's Island series)|green watermelon]].

Slugger

Sluggers[1] are a type of yellow Bandit that first appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island that often appear alongside Green Gloves as part of the Baseball Boys. Sluggers use their baseball bats to return Yoshi Eggs that Yoshi throws at them, which will push Yoshi backwards upon contact, but can also be jumped on. This mechanic is occasionally used as a method of obtaining certain Smiley Flowers. As well as returning any Yoshi Eggs thrown at them, Sluggers will also return Chomp Rocks and seeds spat from a Watermelon. Sluggers cannot be grabbed by Yoshi's tongue, but can be defeated by Ground Pounding or jumping repeatedly on them. Sluggers later appeared in the remake of the original game, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, and also in Yoshi's Island DS, in which they act identically to the first game.
