Batter Up is a daily guessing game where you have just 6 chances to figure out the identity of a mystery MLB player. The twist? You only get a silhouette to start with—no jersey numbers, team logos, or stat lines.
The mystery player is always someone currently active in the MLB, so your up-to-date roster knowledge is going to be your biggest advantage. Each day features a new silhouette, meaning every round is a fresh challenge.
Getting started is simple—and playing is even more fun. Here’s how it works:
Check the Silhouette
When you open the game, you’ll see the outline of a player. This is your only visual clue.
Make Your Guess
Type in the name of any current MLB player. As you submit guesses, the game will give you feedback about your guess compared to the mystery player—similar to other guessing games like Wordle or Poeltl.
Use the Hints Wisely
With each incorrect guess, you’ll get helpful clues such as:
League and division
Team
Position
Height and age
Batting or throwing hand
Guess in Six or Less
You only have six total attempts, so choose wisely and use the feedback to zero in on the answer.
