Muggsy

Would the 2004 Red Sox beat the 2009 Yankees? By how many runs? Did the teams manager call the right play or pull the pitcher at the right time? With Muggsy, you can perform live baseball simulations to find out for yourself.

Muggsy can play half-innings, innings, or entire games in mere seconds, all in the palm of your hand. Driven by advanced statistical analysis, the app simulates hundreds of games every time you tap "Play Ball".

•ADVANCED SIMULATION MODEL Muggsy uses a proprietary Monte Carlo simulation model, based on the most sophisticated techniques used by major league front offices. The simulator incorporates every critical aspect of the game, including batter vs. pitcher matchups, range, arm strength and error probability of fielders, base running skills, etc.

•CURRENT & HISTORICAL TEAMS Tap the dugouts to choose home and away teams for any season going back to 2001. Muggsy automatically sets the most often used right-handed or left-handed lineup for each team and season.

•LINEUP & TEAM CUSTOMIZATION Change the starting lineup to simulate the impact. Add any player in the league to another teams lineup to analyze player acquisitions and trades.

•USER-DEFINED STRATEGIES Apply your own strategies, such as bunting and stealing, as well as player substitutions. Set specific conditions, such as the inning(s), score differential, number of outs and base runners under which a play is attempted or lineup change made.
