Important info for online leagues: This version is NOT compatible between versions. The commissioner of the league must import all exports from teams while on the previous version, and then can save/sim, at which point all league members MUST update to the new version. (Versions 56 and 59 are compatible)

Update Info for our webstore customers: To apply the update, simply download the setup file and install it over your current installation. There is no need to uninstall or unlicense your current copy! However, you should quit the game before attempting to install the update. Please note that you may need to delete or unload previous installers of the game after download. Please be sure that after updating you see the correct version of your game.
For Steam users, this is set up as a public beta version. How to access the beta on Steam:
Quit OOTP 27 if it's running.
Open Steam client -> Library
Right click on Out of the Park Baseball 27
Click on "Properties" at the bottom of the menu
Click on the Game Versions & Betas tab, and select "public_beta".
Close the Properties popup
It should start downloading the beta version.
Note that you can opt in or out of the public beta version using the same procedure.

Download link for Windows PC (Fastspring Webstore Version):
Main server: PC Installer
Mirror Link: PC Installer
Here's a PC installer (Fastspring) that installs into a single folder, which is useful for external HDs for example. Or for creating a second test install of the game, so you can try the patch out without the risk of messing up your main install of the game if something is wrong in the patch:

We are still in discussion as to when the defense changes will make it in to PT. We will give some notice when we have made a decision.

Super stoked for this patch, thank you guys for getting this out. Once it’s live it will apply to all existing saves right?

Were there many roster changes between .56 and .59? Started a save on the first beta that is going well and manually updated Masyn Winn's speed so will stick with it if the rosters are basically the same

A few changes but not a zillion. Winn's speed actually one of the things that is updated.

Just a heads up - I started a new franchise with the latest patch and there are now two of every manager and coach from the hiring pool. Screenshot is attached.

On build 59, starting a new MLB standard game I didn't see anything wrong with the personnel pool. Something I did note however is that Auto-calc is unchecked by default in the game settings, which correspondingly led to higher batter slash lines. The minors still had Control in-game engine on.

Will we be able to see where the player went to school?

Hopefully we will get this applied to PT soon!
