Baseball is an awesome game and it would be a real pity if we couldn’t play it on our smartphones, be it iPhone, Windows Phone or Android powered shiny toys. If you are more into European sports, like soccer, then I invite you to take a look at great Android soccer games to play. Some of these games are very addictive, so be sure to have a watch near you to keep count of the time!

Top 10 Android Baseball Games to Fall in Love With

1. Homerun Battle 3D

With over 6 million players, an IMGA Best Arcade Game nomination and a Best of the Best Apps Award trophy, this might be the best there is right now. It also comes with 4 new play modes, namely Online Match up (for some 1-on-1 action with other players), Arcade, Training and Classic, more than 100 uniforms, hats and other equipment and it also supports English, French, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

2. e-Baseball

If you’re a baseball pro, then this one is for you! There are 600,000 members, the game is pretty complex and not that accessible, at least compared to the previously mentioned one, graphics are colorful and it has been described as “a game to educate one person typing”. It seems that, judging by the graphics style, this one is another game made by Japanese developers.

3. Baseball Superstars II

With 7 different play modes, this version seems to be the best of the series so far. It comes with a better storyline, extra batting effects and pitching styles, better graphics, a more user friendly interface, additional weather types and six brand new super players. Improvements include the ability to customize game settings and to hire and trade players. And yes, there’s a slight touch of anime in this game.

4. Innings: Pro Baseball 2011

This game features 30 teams and over 780 REAL player profiles. With 3 different play modes (League, Exhibition and Homerun), the ability of changing lineups rotations and players, customizing your team at the Baseball Card Shop by collecting your favorite players, this game is certainly going to knock your socks off.

5. BaseBall 2012

The game play includes 9 Innings and it focuses mainly on ball timing and hitting for home run. It has 4 modes (Quick – for fast play, Normal – for playing with other teams, Season – for management and Homerun – for playing shots and timings), 9 teams and you are able to set the ball speed and direction.

6. BVP Baseball 

Neither complex, nor simplistic, this is basically a showdown between batters and pitchers. There are 32 teams from US, Canada, Japan and Korea, each of them being comprised of 4 players (2 pitchers and 2 hitters). With 4 game modes, 2 viewpoints, 2 difficulty levels and accurate graphics, the most significant change is the 3 outs system as opposed to the earlier 10 strikes systems. It may not be the greatest Android baseball game as the reviewers suggest, but when you’re out of options, it’s worth the try!

7. Big Hit Baseball

Described as a fast and out of control arcade Android baseball game, Big Hit Baseball has 20 different teams from US and Japan and allows you to play in numerous cups. You can also share your results with the entire world. Reviews, on the other hand, are pretty much telling you to stay away. We’ll let you be the judge.

8. Victory Baseball Team

An Android baseball team management simulation game no one’s ever heard about before. Basically, the rules are pretty simple as it doesn’t require you to be knowledgeable, it’s an accurate depiction of actual baseball games seen on TV, over 100 characters, but the most impressive part is the description for players’ ability: stamina, power, contact, run, mental, speed, movement and control. And this Android baseball game has some nice looking players that look like kids from cartoon movies.

9. Homerun Derby

Just like BVP Baseball 2011 Lite, three outs and YOU’re out. As far as the score is concerned, a single hit is 50 points, a two base hit is 150 points, a three base hit is 200 points, a home run is 400 points and an RBI is 100 points. Timing is everything here: one ill timed hit and it’s a foul ball or an out.

10. ESPN iScore Baseball

This might be the easiest baseball scoring application out there. What it’s all about: your friends can watch the game in real time via Twitter, it keeps a record of every ball pass and stolen base and tracks every pitch location, type and speed, you can go back wherever you want in your game, you can manage your teams in which you are free to include as many players as you desire. It’s a tactical Android baseball game, suitable for coaches.
