MLBPA Baseball is the only baseball game from Electronic Arts to reach the Sega Game Gear, featuring an MLBPA but not an MLB license, with real player names and statistics, but generic team names. This game is based closely on the previous year's game on consoles, but with updated rosters for the 1994 season and graphics and controls adapted to the handheld's capabilities.
Available modes include exhibition games, playoffs, championship ("The Series") and a full 162-game season. Every game in a season can be played and season progress is stored via passwords. Players can freely set the player roster and batting order before a game, and control all aspects during gameplay: batting, pitching, fielding and running.
Pitching allows for different throws via the four directions of the D-Pad. Batters can choose to just bunt or perform a full swing depending on how long the button is pressed. The game also features pick-off play and base stealing.
