Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: StrikeEmOut at 4.6 against Ballplayer's 4.0. StrikeEmOut also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 56%) and ratings volume (310 vs 60). Ballplayer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
