A naked-eye 3D baseball game with ultra-realistic physics and more. Have you ever imagined experiencing a real 3D scene—like wearing 3D glasses—while lying on your sofa, playing a baseball game on your phone or TV? A scene where you can actually feel the depth of the ball flying toward your face? That’s something a 2D screen simply can’t deliver. Well, now you can have that experience—right on your phone. No glasses needed. No VR headset needed. Just your eyes and the phone you already have. Tired of moving a cursor to match a preset spot that shows where the ball will land—like you're playing an FPS shooting game? Now, there’s a fully physics-based batting system. You swing with your finger—at the right time, with the right speed, and at the right angle—and bam! You break some windows... or maybe hit a birdie. Don’t worry, unlike real life, you won’t be blamed—you’ll be rewarded. Heavily rewarded. And the baseball bat is not the only thing that you can swing. You can also swing a hammer. It needs more power, but it delivers more power—if you strike with the head, solid. And there’s more to come: a flail, perhaps... or even swinging your own phone to predict the next pitch using haptic feedback. Anything fun that players want to see in future versions will be highly valued and seriously considered for addition as soon as possible.

Think you can outperform a Major League umpire? Put your eye to the test with real Statcast pitch data — the same technology MLB uses during official ABS challenges. Every pitch in Borderline is a real called pitch from a real MLB game. You see the ball fly in from the pitcher's perspective, and you have to call it: ball or strike. Then the rulebook strike zone appears, and you find out exactly where it landed — and whether the umpire behind the plate got it right. REAL MLB DATA Every pitch comes from Baseball Savant's Statcast database. Real coordinates, real spin rates, real umpires — no simulations. If Laz Diaz blew a call, you'll see exactly why. THE ABS STRIKE ZONE Borderline uses MLB's Automated Ball-Strike system rules. If any part of the ball touches the rulebook zone, it's a strike — the same standard used in official ABS challenges. The batter's zone height adjusts dynamically per player. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY Arcade — 10 random borderline pitches. Quick, free, addictive. Daily Challenge — 10 blown calls from yesterday's games. Same pitches for every player worldwide. Share your score. Full Game — Pick any real MLB game. Call every pitch in order with live count, score, and batter data. [Pro] Blown Calls — Filter any game to only the pitches the umpire missed. [Pro] PERSONAL STATS Track your accuracy over time. See which pitch types fool you most and where in the zone you struggle. Are you better on fastballs or breaking balls? Inside or outside? UMPIRE SEARCH Find every game called by a specific umpire this season. Search for Laz Diaz, Angel Hernandez, or CB Bucknor and relive their worst games. [Pro] FREE TO PLAY Arcade mode and Daily Challenge are always free. Borderline Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks full game browsing, umpire search, and blown calls mode — no subscription, ever. Data sourced from Baseball Savant (Statcast) and the MLB Stats API.
