High Heat Baseball 1999, also known as High Heat Baseball or High Heat, is a video game released in 1998, and is the first game in the High Heat Major League Baseball video game series.

Gameplay

Pitcher performance statistics affect how well that pitcher throws at the beginning of a game compared to later, how often he uses a given type of pitch, and how well he performs against right-handed or left-handed batters.[4]

Development

High Heat Baseball 1999 was developed by Team .366, an internal development team of The 3DO Company.[5] Development begin in 1995 for 3DO's Opera system, then moved to the Panasonic M2, before finally being targeted towards PCs.[4] A PlayStation port of the game was announced,[4][5] but was never released.

The developers opted to cut out between-play action such as the ball being returned to the pitcher after a ball or strike, in order to keep games down to about a half-hour for players who do not have time for long gaming sessions.[4]
