It was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1995 exclusively in North America.

The game is officially licensed by the Major League Baseball Players Association, offering 700 actual baseball players from the 1994 Major League Baseball season in addition to 28 unlicensed teams.

There are six modes to play: exhibition, Home Run Derby, defense practice, playoffs, league (in which teams play every other team in succession just like in NBA Jam), and Game Breaker (which allows players to change the course of Major League Baseball history).

GamePro highly praised the game's selection of options and stats and the clearly detailed, comical graphics.

However, they described the controls as poor, with both a confusing configuration and slow reactions to button presses.
