The 10 Clubs & Their Ballparks
All 10 clubs in the league are fictional. The home worlds use the names of real planets and moons in the Solar System, but the club names, parent companies and units don't exist. Each club has a different market size and ballpark, so no single strategy works for every club.
The clubs at a glance
| Club | Home ballpark | Capacity | Market size | Rival |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🐺 Mars Wolves | Mars Olympus Dome | 23,000 | Largest | Europa Sharks |
| 🦈 Europa Sharks | Europa Harbor Field | 23,000 | Large | Mars Wolves |
| 🦅 Venus Falcons | Venus Sky Field | 20,000 | Average | Ganymede Elephants |
| 🐘 Ganymede Elephants | Ganymede Lake Park | 18,000 | Somewhat small | Venus Falcons |
| 🦉 Luna Owls | Luna Night Field | 17,000 | Small | Ceres Lynx |
| 🦌 Titan Stags | Titan Forest Park | 24,000 | Average | Callisto Panthers |
| 🐆 Callisto Panthers | Callisto Black Field | 20,000 | Average | Titan Stags |
| 🐋 Enceladus Orcas | Enceladus Ocean Park | 24,000 | Large | Triton Cranes |
| 🕊️ Triton Cranes | Triton River Field | 18,000 | Somewhat small | Enceladus Orcas |
| 🐈 Ceres Lynx | Ceres Mountain Park | 15,000 | Smallest | Luna Owls |
A bigger market brings more attendance (fan units) and credit revenue for the same results, plus a healthier budget. Mars, Enceladus and Europa have fewer money worries but higher expectations, while Ceres and Luna have to get by on a small budget but are all the more rewarding when they succeed.
Stories of the home worlds
Every ballpark has a story of how robots on that world came together to play ball. In the game, you can read them on the "Home World" cards in History → Club History Hall.
- Mars — The planet of red deserts and Olympus Mons. The birthplace of robot baseball: the vacant lot next to Megafactory No. 1 became today's domed ballpark.
- Europa — A moon of Jupiter with an ocean flowing beneath its icy crust. It began with port robots throwing balls around the dockside yards.
- Venus — A hot, high-pressure cloud planet. A factory complex in a floating city 50 km up launched a ballpark in the sky.
- Ganymede — The largest moon in the Solar System. Heavy construction robots formed a league on reclaimed land by an icy lakeshore.
- Luna — Earth's Moon, where day and night each last two weeks. Night games among shift robots during the long nights are the origin of Night Field.
- Titan — A moon of Saturn with a thick nitrogen atmosphere and methane lakes. The dense atmosphere helps fly balls carry.
- Callisto — A dark, crater-covered moon. A production-line test track was turned into a black ballpark.
- Enceladus — A small moon that spouts icy geysers. Logistics robots at a water distribution hub founded the club.
- Triton — Neptune's retrograde moon. The ballpark was built as an entertainment facility at a waystation on the outer-planet shipping lanes.
- Ceres — The largest dwarf planet in the asteroid belt. Its mining supply base is home to the smallest ballpark in the league.
Ballpark numbers compared
| Ballpark | LF · CF · RF fences | Fence height | Foul territory | Field | Particle flow |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mars Olympus Dome | 99 · 122 · 99m | 4.0m | Average | Synthetic | None (shielded dome) |
| Europa Harbor Field | 95 · 120 · 95m | 2.8m | Small | Bio | Solar wind (blowing out) |
| Venus Sky Field | 98 · 120 · 98m | 3.0m | Average | Bio | Turbulent |
| Ganymede Lake Park | 100 · 122 · 100m | 3.2m | Large | Bio | Gravity current (blowing in) |
| Luna Night Field | 98 · 121 · 98m | 3.0m | Average | Synthetic | Turbulent |
| Titan Forest Park | 94 · 119 · 94m | 2.6m | Small | Bio | Solar wind (blowing out) |
| Callisto Black Field | 98 · 121 · 98m | 3.0m | Average | Bio | Turbulent |
| Enceladus Ocean Park | 97 · 121 · 97m | 4.8m | Average | Bio | Solar wind (blowing out) |
| Triton River Field | 101 · 124 · 101m | 3.3m | Large | Bio | Gravity current (blowing in) |
| Ceres Mountain Park | 96 · 119 · 96m | 2.8m | Small | Synthetic | Solar wind (blowing out) |
Mound hardness, hot-season heat index and ion density, and altitude index also differ by ballpark. Fence distance and height, solar wind and gravity currents affect home runs and extra-base hits; foul territory affects foul pop-outs; and the hot-season heat index affects pitchers' battery.
Ballparks by type
Hitter-friendly parks
- Titan Forest Park — The shortest and lowest fences in the league, with solar wind blowing out toward the outfield. It also has the highest hot-season heat index, so pitchers' batteries drain quickly. The park that gives up the most home runs.
- Europa Harbor Field — Short, low fences plus solar wind blowing out mean lots of home runs. The small foul territory gives hitters extra chances.
- Ceres Mountain Park — With an altitude index of 240, it has the weakest gravity in the league, so batted balls fly far. The fences are short, too.
Pitcher-friendly parks
- Triton River Field — The biggest park in the league, with a gravity current flowing in toward the infield and plenty of foul territory. It gives up the fewest home runs. Outfielders have a lot of ground to cover.
- Mars Olympus Dome — No space weather effects and high fences keep home runs on the low side. It's the only shielded dome in the league.
- Ganymede Lake Park — Deep fences, a gravity current flowing in toward the infield and plenty of foul territory.
Unusual parks
- Enceladus Ocean Park — The fences are at average distance, but at 4.8m they're the tallest in the league. Would-be home runs often bang off the wall for doubles. It also has the highest ion density.
- Venus, Luna and Callisto — Their numbers are close to the league average, and turbulent particle flow means results vary from day to day.
Building a squad for your ballpark
- Home run parks (Titan, Europa, Ceres): Collect power hitters, and use ground-ball pitchers to limit home runs allowed. For pitches that produce more ground balls, see the Pitch Development Guide.
- Big parks (Triton, Ganymede): Outfield range and baserunning matter. Score with on-base ability and speed rather than power.
- Road games are affected by the ballpark too, so try choosing your starter to fit the opponent's park.
The league keeps changing
These tables show the league as it is when you first start the game. As seasons go by, clubs in financial crisis may be sold, expansion clubs may take the place of folded ones, and AI clubs may move to new ballparks. You can also change a club's name and emblem by buying it.
