## What is Home Run High?

Train your baseball players and create a winning team!

Can you lead your high school baseball team to ultimate victory? It might be a small after-school club now, but with the right training, even the sky isn't the limit for this team!

Train players by assigning them practice drills. You choose what they need to focus on, such as batting or pitching.

Install batting cages, showers, or other facilities to make life better for the team. A good environment makes for more effective training! School life is not all about sports, though. Studying is just as important, so make sure to construct educational facilities to upgrade the school.

House students in a dorm and they'll have more time for both studying and baseball practice! Pick your best players for the team and test their skill at tournaments.

*This game only supports landscape mode.

### 1/5 — Landscape View Why?

*2026-05-09, version 1.42*

why cant you play in portrait mode? its unplayable in landscape. ive played 100% of kairosoft games all in portrait mode

### 5/5 — 야구부 스토리 꼭 해보세요

*2025-12-24*

야구부 스토리는 자신이 고등학교 야구팀의 감독이 되어서 대회를 제패하는 게임인데요, 직접 야구 경기를 할 순 없지만 직접 경기를 관람을 할 수 있어 생동감있고 선수들이 점점 발전하는 모습을 보면 마음 한켠이 뿌듯해지는 느낌도 들어요. 그리고 생각보다 많은 요소들이 있어요. 단점을 말씀드리자면 저장을 깜박하고 안하면 자기가 플레이했던 것이 사라지고 선수들을 은퇴한 후 3년주기로 재부팅하는게 아쉬워요.  하지만 유료여도 저는 워낙 즐기고 있고 가끔 시간날때 이 게임을 플레이해서 야구를 좋아하는 사람, 그리고 야구팀 매니저를 해보고 싶었던 분들한테 추천해요.

### 5/5 — Really good game. Suggestion

*2024-12-29*

This game is really really good, Kairosoft. I like the highschool sort premise and the customization options like others. A game just like this, highschool athletics but Track and Field instead would be such a great game. I would definitely purchase it. Please do :)
