Baseball Scouter

Baseball Scouter is a baseball management game told through a narrative adventure and text simulation. You take over a team on the verge of collapse, with no memory of your past. Its roster is filled with overpaid veterans who have lost their passion for baseball, and ironclad contracts guarantee them playing time, leaving little room for new talent. Even after moving them on, the remaining players offer little promise for the near future. Your hope is a mysterious ability called “The Baseball Scouter,” which lets you see a person’s potential as a professional baseball player at a glance.

Find new talent

You explore the city to find baseball prospects among office workers, students and unemployed people. The Scouter reveals their potential stats, and you decide whether to use them as immediate assets or develop them so their talent can emerge later in the season. You meet characters with their own stories and try to persuade them to pursue professional baseball.

With limited support from the front office, you must offer prospects the contracts they want or a compelling vision of the future to convince them to risk everything and join the team.

Manage the season

You do not control matches directly. Instead, you manage the lineup, roster depth and rotations across a 140-game season, while meeting periodic goals set by the ownership to keep your job.

As the season unfolds, you uncover mysteries left by the former manager and form your own judgment of his past actions. Your decisions shape the team’s success and lead to the story’s conclusion.
