Everyone is welcome in the Backyard.
Power-ups are back and crazier than ever, adding chaos and fun to every game. Pitchers can unleash FIRE BALLS, CRAZY BALLS, and FREEZEBALLS on unsuspecting hitters, while batters can wield CRAZY BUNTS, UNDERGROUNDERS, and the legendary ALUMINUM POWER BAT to rack up runs.
Backyard Baseball is iconic because we play the game a little differently than most. Follow these rules and let the fun begin!
