Called Up, the Baseball Career Simulator

Called Up is a free baseball career game where you live one ballplayer's whole life, from draft day to the retirement ceremony. The choices you make at every crossroads change the batting average, the home runs, the contracts, the rings and whether the Hall of Fame calls.

How it plays

Pick a name, number, handedness, nationality and position and your career begins. Nationality sets the starting league (KBO, NPB, AAA in the minors, CPBL, the Mexican League and more). On draft day you choose between a contender, a starting job on a rebuilding club or an overseas minor league deal, and every season after that brings trade offers, national team call-ups, free agency and posting decisions.

From the minors to MLB, across leagues

Start in Korea and get posted to the majors, or go through Japan and chase a World Series ring. 179 nationalities are playable, and two-way careers (hitting and pitching) are fully supported.

Three paces

Intense lets you make every decision each year, Normal keeps the balance, and Express only asks at the big crossroads and simulates the rest. Play a quick career in Express or savor every season in Intense.

Real stats and a verified leaderboard

Seasons are recorded with real baseball numbers: AVG, HR, OPS, ERA, WHIP and WAR. The leaderboard ranks career WAR and career earnings for today, this month and all time. Every entry is re-simulated and verified on the server, so the rankings cannot be faked.

188 achievements and 22 endings

Chase 400 home runs, 3,000 hits, the Cy Young, a no-hitter, the 30-30 club or back-to-back titles, and see which ending your career earns. Every retirement leaves a shareable career card.
