You vs. the Playmaker
Make the call. See what it was worth.
A baseball game you play with your head. Manage the whole game or take one position, read the scouting report, and make the call before the clock runs out. Every decision plays out on the field, and the review after the game shows which calls won it.
Your first game is free. No account, no card.
Manager or one position, on the same field as the Game Situations. Read the report, then beat the clock.

See the reviewThe scouting report
Know what you know going in.
Before the first pitch you get the report: the conditions, their pitcher, their best hitters, your own team. The wind blowing out, a left-handed pitcher, a slow runner on first. The best call depends on it, and the report changes as the game goes.
- One tap away during the game, behind the clipboard on the field.
- Updates between plays, the way a real game does.
- The same situation can call for a different play with a different report.
Make the call
Right call, tough break.
When a call comes up, the clock starts: three or four choices and a few seconds, the way it happens in a game. Each call is graded the moment you make it, then the ball does what balls do. Sometimes the right call gets beat and a bad one works, and Playmaker tells you which.
- Defense, offense and the bases: how to play the hitter, the pitch, when to steal or bunt, where to throw.
- Four verdicts: Earned it · Right call, tough break · Got away with one · That one’s on you.
- Momentum: string good calls together and you’re rolling; a wrong one rattles you and the next play gets harder.
- Boosts unlock after your second game: earn them with good calls, use them in the big spots.
After the game
See which calls won it.
Every game ends with a review: how many best calls you made, what your calls were worth in runs and what the breaks took away, a win-probability line with your calls marked, the three swings that decided it, and the one habit to work on next time.
- Tap any swing to ask the Playmaker why the best call was best.
- A finished game counts toward your streak and your weekly XP, the same as a Learn session.
- Your games are yours: coaches and leagues never see who played or how they did.

What is You vs. the Playmaker?
A baseball game against the Playmaker where every call is yours. You make the calls a manager, fielder or baserunner makes, each call is graded with the reason and plays out on the field, and the review after the game shows which calls won or lost it.
Is it a video game?
Not the swinging kind. You don't hit or throw; every turn is a baseball decision with a few seconds to make it, and the game plays out what happens.
Is it free?
Your first game is free, with no account needed. After that, sign in with your email to keep playing and keep your record. A full year of everything is $29 on your own, or less with your team.
What level is it played at?
High School situations and rules today. Little League and College are coming.
Can I play my own position?
Yes. Pick a position and your calls come when that player has one; the rest of the game plays past you on the scoreboard. Or play the Manager and make every call.
Can I stop in the middle of a game?
Yes. The game saves as you go, so you can pick it up where you left off.
Does it count toward my streak?
Yes. A finished game counts for the day, the same as a Learn session, and its XP adds to your week.
Do coaches see my games?
No. Coaches, clubs and leagues never see who is playing or how they did.
