Build one player's career in a living, fictional baseball world. Enter through a high-school, university or company-baseball draft path. Choose a fielding position, become a position player, pitcher or two-way player, and select from three interested clubs. EARN YOUR PLACE Begin on the first team or farm team according to your readiness. Compete with a named player for your role, develop through training and make decisions around form, fatigue, injuries and manager trust. Pitchers can build careers as starters, relievers or closers. WATCH OR ADVANCE Watch nine-inning games unfold on an illustrated angled diamond with balls, strikes, outs and base runners. Advance pitch by pitch, change the speed, simulate one game or process a baseball month. Every route uses the same result, box score and career history.

Club rosters, contracts, trades, free agents, player development, ageing and retirement continue around your player. CHASE A LEGACY Follow batting, pitching and fielding statistics, league titles and milestones. Face annual salary review in yen, earn service time and free-agency or posting eligibility, then preserve every completed season in a permanent Career Book.
