About

Baseball Scout Notes

Features
Read full description

Were you right about him? The next three games will tell. Baseball Scout Notes is a pixel-art baseball management sim where you run a scouting agency, not a team. Take requests from clubs, watch league games, size up players and recommend them in a scout report. Then the league grades your call by how he actually plays for his new team. ā–  Request → Scout → Report Clubs set the brief: position (pitcher, catcher, infielder or outfielder), age, a key attribute such as "Power 65+", and a target game rating. Each round, send your scouts to watch league games. Contact, power, speed, fielding and pitching are revealed as far as each scout's accuracy allows; anything still unknown shows as ??. File your report with a predicted game rating and a grade from C to S. ā–  Three games to prove it Once the club signs your player, your report is graded on his average rating over his next 3 games for his new team. Hits raise your reputation, and hit streaks build it faster. Misses cost you, and the higher the grade you gave, the more it hurts. When your pick performs, a bonus lands on top. ā–  A living baseball world Three fictional leagues (regional, continental and global) play nine-inning games every round, with live standings by wins and a champion crowned each season. Replay every scoring play, extra-inning walk-offs included, on the game screen. Offseason and in-season trade windows bring a rush of requests. Three rival scouting agencies bid for the same jobs, and the better your reputation, the better your odds. In season 4, a data giant raises its license fees. ā–  Grow your agency Hire and train scouts. Expand your office through levels 1 to 4 for more desks, more requests and sharper accuracy. Buy public data licenses or research your own metrics: public data leads everyone to the same conclusions, so your proprietary metrics are your edge. Sign young prospects to agency contracts and earn commission every round and on every transfer. ā–  Your pixel office Your scouts sit at their desks while the wall TV shows the latest game, and the office changes as your company grows. If you like baseball games and tycoon games, this is a management sim built around one skill: judging talent. ā–  Before you start Ā· 5-season campaign, 3 save slots Ā· Playable without an internet connection Ā· No in-app purchases Ā· No account or login — your saves stay on your device Ā· Korean and English Ā· All leagues, clubs and players are fictional Privacy policy: https://baseballscoutnotes.sanglimsoft.com/privacy/ Support: https://baseballscoutnotes.sanglimsoft.com/support/
