    Review scores

    US: Nintendo Power would rate the game in their 1990 Pak Source, giving it a score spread of 3.5/3.5/3.5/4 across graphics & sound, play control, challenge and theme & fun.

    UK: Nintendo Magazine System included the game in the index of their initial October 1992 issue. They rated it 60%, citing 'The actual pace of the game is relatively slow and a tad unresponsive. The graphics are cack too'. They would praise it for including 'all the fun and excitement of baseball', however.
