Baseball Mogul is a career-focused baseball management simulation developed by Infinite Monkey and released for PC in 1997, marking the first entry in the long-running Mogul series. Rather than controlling players on the field, the game places the player in the role of a franchise manager, handling the organizational and strategic decisions that shape a team's fortunes over multiple seasons. Gameplay revolves around roster management, trades, finances, and other front-office responsibilities typical of the sports management genre. As the inaugural installment, it established the foundational systems and design philosophy that would carry through subsequent entries in the series. The game is exclusive to Microsoft Windows and targets fans of baseball who prefer the analytical and administrative side of the sport over direct athletic competition.
