Big Leagues, Inc.

What Big Leagues, Inc. does

Big Leagues, Inc. is a privately-held, US-incorporated company founded in 2019 and headquartered in Lincoln, California, operating with a small team of 1-10 employees. The company offers a single consumer product, Batter Up!, a free-to-play real-time MLB fantasy sports mobile app that enables users to predict the outcome of every at-bat during live Major League Baseball games across all nine innings and compete with friends. The app is distributed exclusively through the iOS App Store (App ID 1542716340), with no Android or web presence disclosed.

The product is built around a real-time at-bat prediction mechanic that transforms passive MLB viewing into an interactive social experience among friends. No AI or machine learning capabilities are disclosed; the core technology appears to center on live data feeds tied to MLB games, a mobile front end, and the social competition loop. The company holds no disclosed patents, trademarks, certifications, partnerships, or M&A activity, and operates with no parent company or subsidiaries.

Big Leagues generates revenue via a freemium model — the base app is free to download, with monetization occurring through in-app purchases and potentially premium features or virtual goods. The sole customer segment is MLB baseball fans seeking an interactive social gaming companion to live game viewing. The company is led by a full C-suite (CEO Erik Schweiss, CFO Mike Lincoln, CPO Matthew Lane, CTO Gar Lee, CIO Nicholas Pesacio) but has no disclosed funding rounds, revenue figures, or institutional investors.

Direct peers

• DraftKings: DraftKings is the leading U.S. daily fantasy sports operator with multi-sport coverage including MLB. It competes for the same MLB-engaged user base and offers pick'em and prediction-style products alongside traditional DFS, making it the closest scaled comparable to Batter Up's real-time prediction mechanic.
• FanDuel: FanDuel is DraftKings' principal rival and operates daily fantasy sports across MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL. It targets the same baseball-fan demographic and increasingly offers prediction-style gameplay, positioning it as a direct competitive threat to Big Leagues' niche.
• PrizePicks: PrizePicks is a leading pick'em-style daily fantasy operator covering MLB and other major sports. Its single-stat and multi-stat prediction entries are conceptually similar to Batter Up's per-at-bat prediction mechanic, making it a direct product comparable.
• Sleeper: Sleeper is a mobile-first fantasy sports app emphasizing friend leagues and social/community play across MLB, NFL, NBA, and esports. Its mobile-first, social-first positioning makes it the closest peer in product DNA to Batter Up's friend-competition focus.
• Underdog Fantasy: Underdog Fantasy offers pick'em and best-ball formats across MLB, NFL, and NBA with a strong mobile/app focus. Its prediction-game mechanics and mobile UX overlap with Batter Up's approach, and it competes for similar younger, mobile-native sports fans.
• Yahoo Fantasy Sports: Yahoo Fantasy is a free-to-play, multi-sport fantasy platform with deep MLB season-long and daily formats. It competes with Batter Up for casual MLB fans seeking a free, social fantasy experience and benefits from Yahoo's distribution and brand.
• ESPN Fantasy Sports: ESPN Fantasy offers free, season-long and contest-style MLB games to ESPN's massive sports audience. It overlaps directly with Big Leagues on MLB-fan targeting and free-to-play distribution, though ESPN focuses on draft-style formats rather than per-at-bat predictions.

Emerging players

• Splash Sports: Splash Sports is a peer-to-peer sports prediction and contest platform covering MLB, NFL, and other leagues. Its real-money prediction contest format and mobile-first design make it a relevant emerging competitor to Batter Up's social prediction mechanic.
• ParlayPlay: ParlayPlay is an emerging pick'em and prediction-style fantasy app targeting mobile-first sports fans. It overlaps with Batter Up on per-event prediction mechanics but operates at a smaller scale across multiple sports rather than MLB-only.
• Chalkboard: Chalkboard is a sports pick'em and prediction app targeting casual fans with free and paid contest formats. Its prediction-game approach and mobile focus make it a relevant emerging comparable to Batter Up's at-bat-level prediction design.
