Out of the Park Baseball 21

Out of the Park Baseball 21 is a baseball management game in which you build and guide a franchise. You discover talent, draft players, negotiate with free agents and make trades, then set lineups, pitching staffs and in-game strategy. You can oversee a league at a high level or manage games play by play or pitch by pitch in 3D.

Build your baseball world

The game includes 2020 MLB and MiLB rosters, player ratings, schedules and league rules, including the London Series and MLB at Field of Dreams. You can also play every historical MLB season from 1871 to 2019, including full historical minor leagues, as well as dozens of international professional and independent leagues. Alternatively, create a fictional baseball universe with your own teams and players.

The 3D Ballpark Construction Kit lets you build a stadium by choosing its field shape and size, layout and architectural elements. Ballpark Factors let you shape the park around the kind of team you want to build, such as one focused on defense, power, speed or hitting into the gaps. League customization also includes configurable expansion and minor-league team arrangements.

Run your franchise

Game Flow provides customizable guidance on what to do at different points in the season, from spring training through the offseason. Live Starts let you begin from any date of the 2020 MLB season, from opening day through the end of the postseason, with current rosters, injuries, trades and standings.

The game reflects 2020 MLB rules, including 26-man rosters, a 28-man September roster configuration, a three-batter minimum for relief pitchers, and separate 10- and 15-day injured lists for pitchers and hitters. You can use scouting assignments and reports to assess players, with scouting accuracy indicators and a customizable Player Scouting Page. Draft tools include Mock Drafts, Future Draft Classes and sortable Draft History, with player development represented across high school, college and junior college.

Player pages and lists offer customizable statistics and information, including strikeout, walk and strikeout-minus-walk percentages. During 3D games, you can follow the ball and switch camera angles before, during and after pitches. New animations and revised audio include crowd and ambient sounds, with customization for individual ballparks.
