3-Minute Baseball, an abbreviated and casual version of Strat-O-Matic Baseball, was designed as a free and easy-to-access way of introducing baseball fans to the Strat-O-Matic brand. The game features two different teams with ten total players-five hitters versus five pitchers. There is a degree of variation amongst each of the hitters, whether it’s the mix of left-handed and right-handed batters, or the fact that some hit for power and others hit for a high average (or a low average for that matter). Amongst the pitchers, which include both starters and relievers, there is also a mix of southpaws and right-handers.
