Reception

Next Generation reviewed the Saturn version of the game, rating it five stars out of five, and stated that "There's no baseball game that looks, plays, or feels as good as WSB II. The graphics are so crisp and clean that it makes the competitors look like 16-bit games. The two-player game is incredible and, while the one-player game may lack some sim options, the speed of play enables you to get through a season without becoming bored. A must for any baseball fan, WSB II is at the top of the year's baseball line-up."^[3]
