## What is Astonishing Baseball 20?

Astonishing Baseball is just like baseball, but on your smartphone or tablet and for free. Become the manager of an astonishing sports team full of stars, and lead your players to the ultimate reward: the Baseball Cup!

Astonishing Baseball is not your usual baseball simulation game. It's not only about tables full of players and stats. It's not just trading players and signing free agents. In Astonishing Baseball, you're writing your own story with one goal in mind: win the Baseball Cup. And for that, you'll need all kind of skills.

A living world
Astonishing Baseball features an artificial but living world. Fans are posting about the game and your brand new rookie. Journalists write articles about your starter's last night performance. Players send you messages about their concerns or their contract.  It's all about baseball!

The lineup of your dreams
Astonishing Baseball allows you to create the team you've always dreamed of. Make trades with the greedy other teams of the league, or sign free agents during the offseason. Draft talented prospects and train them to the rank of baseball stars during the Legends Contest. You're the coach!

For baseball fans and stats nerds
Astonishing Baseball is very easy to learn. If you know the game rules, you'll know how to play! But if you're a sabermetrics savant, you'll find all kind of stats to satisfy your nerdy instinct!

Play on your own terms
Astonishing Baseball can be played offline, as much as you want. You don't need to wait between games. You don't need a data connection or Wi-Fi to save a game result.

### 4/5 — Great but no restore progress.

*2025-07-18*

Very addicting. However I had to delete some apps to create storage for a bit, when I redownloaded it, all my progress, everything was gone. I even bought from the store with real currency a few times. Quite unfortunate as it doesn’t make me want to play again is there a way I can get my progress back

### 5/5 — Awesome simulation!

*2025-05-26*

Checks most of the boxes.  One annoyance is drafted players only have only one year of control.  Which means you need to trade to afford draft picks.  …Forcing you to buy upgrades.

### 5/5 — The best game ever

*2024-07-12, version 1.552*

Your kids will like it

### 5/5 — New to Baseball

*2024-06-08*

I am really enjoying this game, the overall description of how to play the game, for a newcomer, is excellent. A well laid out interface and easy to understand buttons, a big thumbs up from me!

### 4/5 — Hard to win

*2023-06-27, version 1.552*

It is very hard to win a championship

### 5/5 — 핵꿀잼

*2022-01-01*

아쉬운게 있다면 게임 도중 타자를 교체 할 수 있으면 좋을거같아요!

### 4/5 — Great Game, but Money Fix?

*2021-05-21*

I love this game. I recently was playing other games similar to this one and stumbled upon it. My only gripe with the game is how quickly your cap space goes. Guys will come out of the draft and demand $20 million. That seems quite drastic and because of that it is difficult to retain other players. I think this should be fixed and become more realistic as no rookie should ask for that much money. Despite that a great game and I can play it for hours!

### 3/5 — Crashing constantly lately

*2021-04-18*

Love this game I’ve played about 50 years of simulation but something has broken it lately because it keeps crashing when I try to simulator game I am on the most recent Apple hardware so I don’t think it’s that and the game isn’t particularly graphically intensive

### 4/5 — Good

*2021-03-02, version 1.3*

Good game but there should be a way to turn off salary cap

### 5/5 — 21

*2021-03-01, version 1.3*

Is 21 out?
