What is Out of the Park Baseball (Series)?

Out of the Park Baseball is a long-running series of text-based baseball simulation video games developed by Out of the Park Developments and published by Sports Interactive. The first game in the series was released in 1999.

The games aim to provide an extremely realistic simulation of running a professional baseball franchise. As the general manager, players have control over team lineups, depth charts, pitching rotations, minor league systems, scouting assignments, draft priorities, trades with other teams, free agent negotiations, waiver claims, team finances, ticket pricing, and more.

The text-based interfaces allow for intricately detailed leagues, teams, and players while still being accessible for more casual baseball fans. Out of the Park Baseball is often considered one of the best baseball management simulators available due to its depth, authenticity, customization, and emphasis on realism.

One of the strengths of the series is the ability to play historical baseball scenarios by importing older seasons or editing the available settings and leagues. Out of the Park Baseball has licensing agreements with the MLB Players Association and Nippon Professional Baseball, adding to the realism.

The latest release in the series is Out of the Park Baseball 23. It features updated 2022 MLB rosters, a new interface, enhanced trading A.I., interactive league meetings, customizable tournaments, and more additions aimed at creating the most authentic and customizable baseball management experience.
