What Baseball Stars 2 is

Baseball Stars 2 is an arcade game developed by SNK and released in 1992. It was published by Romstar. It is available on Neo Geo AES, Neo Geo CD, Nintendo Entertainment System, Arcade, Neo Geo MVS and PC (Microsoft Windows). It carries an ESRB E age rating.

The premise, in the publisher's words

The Baseball Stars series set the early benchmark for quality baseball sports games, and introduced a number of features that have become standard in more current sports games, such as managerial control and player creation. Baseball Stars 2 built on this by introducing new batting stances, enhanced pitch control, the ability to alter field formations for enhanced coaching strategies, and a number of other features. Players can create leagues of up to 125 games, with 6 teams. Statistics are tracked over the length of the season, and players can be upgraded over time.
