About Bat Flip Baseball

"BFB" has been going for about 5 years, with many original GMs still involved. We started in-game with the 2020 season and have progressed to the end of the 2045 season. We proudly have robust participation, with high export rates overall. We model the league after real-life MLB rules (i.e. no draft pick trading, small markets are eligible for competitive balance picks, and other rules.). We sim Monday-Friday during the regular season and seven days a week in the off-season. Each sim usually runs 7 days. We use Slack and Stats+, but not Discord.

Please feel free to read our League Charter for a more complete picture.

We are set to transition from OOTP 25 to OOTP 26 and find ourselves with an unusually high number of openings. If you have (or intend to purchase) OOTP 26, and want to join a mature and involved league, then we might be the right fit! We are happy to have first-time online players.

The open teams are:

Ready to compete now:

Philadelphia Phillies: The Phillies are in a great spot! They went 87-75 last season, claiming the final Wild Card spot in the National League. Their rotation is anchored by a 22 year old who just posted a 7.2 WAR season. The Phillies have strong market and fan metrics, middle-tier revenue, and the 2nd overall farm system, highlighted by the #1 overall prospect, a starting pitcher who should be ready early in the coming season. They are over budget currently, but have some flexibility to maneuver out of it.

Washington Nationals: The second NL East team available is the Washington Nationals. The Nationals went 92-70 last season. They won the Wild Card and Division Series, and took the eventual World Series Champion Marlins to 7 games. Their market and fan metrics are also very solid and they have the 7th largest budget in BFB at $260m. Their farm system is middle-of-the-pack, at 14th overall, but they have 5 prospects in the top 100, all of whom are ready now or will be ready in a year or two.

Please DM me if you are interested! Happy to provide any screenshots or answer questions.
