Details

The full picture

Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.

01

What the game is

PENNANT: Baseball Owner is a text-based baseball management sim released October 12, 2026 in Early Access at $19.99.

It hands you a baseball club and makes you the owner: the GM works for you across 30 generated franchises.

You buy a club - big market or small, with your own money or the bank's - then hire the twelve people who run it.

02

Every rating is an opinion

You never see a player's true ability, only your scouting department's estimate with a confidence tag.

The other 29 clubs price players through their own scouts, so every trade is two sets of mistakes meeting in the middle.

Busts and steals come out of that gap - and nobody writes them down.

03

Money and consequences

A full business runs under the baseball: gate, media deals, sponsors, payroll, luxury tax, stadium projects and debt service.

Every season's profit or loss lands in your wallet; fall below -$150M and the league forces a sale.

One save, saved after every move, no undo - and the Hall of Owners keeps every run, dynasties and wrecks alike (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-13).
