About this app
162-0 Baseball Draft & GM Team is built around one question: what record would this roster actually post? You draft a complete club one position at a time, compare pitchers and hitters on ERA, WHIP, home runs, on-base ability, fielding, speed and WAR, and finish by choosing the coach.
The season simulator then projects a 162-game record from roster quality, position fit, hitting, pitching, speed, defence and coaching. Balanced clubs can post strong totals, but the perfect 162-0 result is designed to be rare, and stacking one kind of star tends to show up in the projection.
Franchise GM Mode carries on past the draft. Arrange the batting order, manage the rotation and bullpen, review payroll and make front-office calls. Around it sit Unlimited Draft, a ten-pick Limited Refresh Draft with no rerolls, payroll-focused drafting, VS Computer, Battle Mode, Daily Challenge and Baseball IQ. Everything runs on projections — there are no live results and no online multiplayer.
