The new story mode used help from Mollie Braley, the game’s narrative designer, and Kelsie Whitmore, the first female player in an MLB Partnered League and a member of the Women’s USA Baseball National Team who is featured in the trailer.

A pitcher and outfielder, Whitmore made history in 2022 when she signed and played for the Staten Island FerryHawks in the Atlantic League.
“This new game play experience is a unique pivot in the baseball world that will encourage, inspire, and motivate individuals to chase their dreams,” Whitmore said on the game’s site. “To me, this project is a great opportunity for the world to be informed of women who play baseball and that taking their skills to the next level is possible. My hopes for this project is to educate others that women/girls do play baseball and that they are capable of competing in this game at every level."
