Best baseball games: Ballistic Baseball. Image shows the players on the pitch.

Ballistic Baseball

Portable Platforms: iOS and Android

A delightfully arcadey baseball experience that you can easily pay on the go. Part of the Apple Arcade service, this game offers charming cartoony visuals along with all the sites and sounds of a good old-fashioned ball game.

It's admittedly quite a casual experience, but with the chance to create and develop your own baseball team and then take them online to take them up against the teams created by other players, it's very easy to get very deeply involved in. If you want something uber-realistic, this won't be for you, but if you want some classic baseball fun, you're gonna love this.

MLB: The Show 24

Portable Platforms: Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and Windows Handhelds

The closest you can get to the real thing without holding a bat, MLB The Show 24 is the premier baseball simulation on Switch. With all the big players from the U.S. League, countless classic stadiums, and the most comprehensive mechanics you'll find in a baseball game you can take on the go, this is the baseball fan's baseball game. 

It's also probably the most comprehensive online baseball experience, with cross-platform play opening up more opponents to face at the plate. The popular Diamond Dynasty mode returns too so you can collect cards, build your franchise, and aim for a place in the hall of fame.

While MLB has all the realism you could need, Super Mega Baseball 3 brings the fun. The big-head ballers of Super Mega Baseball might not be recognizable faces, but you'll learn to love them regardless as you ascend the leagues to sporting stardom.

With countless ways to play, you can take a team and train them for the big time, or you can pick up a pack of pitchers and take them into online competitions, either way, it's a certified homerun.

Arcade Archives Vs. Baseball

Portable Platforms: Nintendo Switch

Roll back the years with a retro classic in Arcade Archives Vs. Baseball. Of course, you can't expect too much from a game first released in 1984, but you might be surprised by how well the gameplay holds up, and how much fun you can still have.

There's a two-player mode included too, making this title a perfect addition to any retro gaming night. 

Homerun Clash, one of the mobile baseball games

Homerun Clash

Portable Platforms: iOS and Android

For baseball on the go with a competitive online element, we recommend Homerun Clash every time. It's the most outlandish baseball sim on this list by far, with witches, superheroes, Dwayne Johnson lookalikes, and more stepping up to bat.

It's also one of the more arcade-style baseball games, with a bunch of power-ups and extras to keep you knocking fastballs out of the park.

Portable Platforms: Nintendo Switch

Desktop Baseball is to MLB what Micro Machines is to Gran Turismo, with a shrunk-down arena filled with tiny fielders and bite-size batters. It's also the closest we think we're ever going to get to a baseball gacha game, with tons of collectible players, outfits, and customizable items.

While it's obviously not as expansive as some of the other baseball sims on this list, it's a quaint experience to shake up any baller bored of hyper-realistic gameplay.
