Dice Baseball is a fast, fun baseball game powered by dice, strategy, and surprise moments. Instead of complicated controls, every at-bat is decided by a roll. Hit singles, doubles, triples, home runs, or get caught at the wall as the defense tries to steal the play back. Choose from unique stadiums that actually change how the game plays. High-altitude fields mean more home runs. Fast turf creates extra-base hits. Defensive parks make every run harder to earn. Play solo against the computer or pass the phone for local player-vs-player games. Customize inning length, mercy rules, and stadiums to make every game feel different. Dice Baseball also includes a kid-friendly “7th Minute Stretch” that encourages players to take a short break, move around, and jump back into the game refreshed. Originally created with real dice and napkins at restaurants, Dice Baseball turns waiting time into game time while helping kids practice math, logic, and decision-making. Dice Baseball is created by the team behind YouthBaseballTryouts.com, a platform dedicated to helping players and families find youth baseball opportunities across the country. Baseball should always be fun, whether you are on the field, at a tryout, or rolling dice together at the table.
