Players take on the role of Roger Clemens' MVP Baseball in a standard 9 innings baseball game in Exhibition mode and a full regular season can be played including the World Championship Playoffs in the Regular Season mode. While playing in Regular Season mode the player can see their chosen team’s progress by using the in game calendar showing all the games.
Players select a fictional team from six divisions: National Division West: , American Division West , and American Division East , each with its own set of teams. For example, the National Division West includes the San Francisco Quakes, Los Angeles Apaches, and Houston Mustangs.
Each team has a set of players, with fictional statistics and skill levels, including Roger Clemens himself on the Boston Hornets team. The player can control the pitcher's speed, spin, and position on the plate, as well as stop opponents from stealing bases. When batting, the player must time their hit to avoid missed hits or fouls.
The game transitions into fielding mode, where the camera adjusts to a lower angle to show the action. The player controls the closest fielder to catch or throw the ball, with various camera angles and panning options available. Two-player mode allows for head-to-head exhibition matches using two controllers.
