Baseball Stars 2 is a sports game in the Baseball Stars series.

An update for all digital versions in mid-2020 removed all references to the Republic of China (e.g. removing "Taipei" from the Taipei Hawks team name),[1] and a later update removed all country and city names from the game. The digital versions also lack the save function from the original Neo Geo version.
