It’s a long season, 162-games for each team in the league lasting through the end of September. Here are some great apps to stay up-to-date with what’s happening in the world of Baseball during this season.

9 Innings: 2016 Pro Baseball
Perhaps you want to play a bit of baseball ahead of the regular season opener. Com2uS has a new version of 9 Innings available for 2016. 9 Innings has over 1,400 players from the 30 different MLB teams, it also uses real-time stats and data for your game. So it feels like you’re playing baseball in real life.
9 Innings Manager
If you’d rather play as a manager, that can be done as well. 9 Innings Manager is similar to the 9 Innings posted above, except instead of playing as a player on any of about 30 teams, you’ll be managing any of those 30 teams. Building up your team so you can manage them throughout the year and eventually take them to the 2016 World Series and win the pennant.

Create the ultimate Baseball player in MLB.com Franchise MVP. This game is developed by the excellent team over at MLB.com, and it has some pretty amazing graphics. It also includes authentic touch action, to make it feel more natural while you’re playing the Franchise MVP, and working your way up to become your Franchise’s MVP.

They actually cover just about every sport out there and also have their own crew of sports journalists to keep up-to-date with what’s happening in the world of College Basketball, College Football, NBA, NHL, NFL and so much more.

How about building your own MLB Ballpark for your own team? MLB has that covered here with the Ballpark Empire. Allowing you to go from a pretty small park, up to the biggest park that is imaginable.

With CBS Sports, you can also keep up with what’s happening in the world of baseball, whether the Kansas City Royals are getting ready to take the World Series again in 2016, or another team is looking to dethrone them as Champs this year.
