2024 ZiPS Projections Database Now Available!

For 2024, we continue our partnership with Dan Szymborski to bring you our projections database featuring stats and ratings generated by Dan's highly regarded ZiPS projection system.

The 2024 ZiPS Projections database includes updated rosters that incorporate off-season player moves; the new schedule; projected batting and pitching stats for more than 3500 players, including many top prospects; and manager profiles set up with rotations, lineups, and depth charts that represent our assessment of how the players will be used during the season.

The 2024 ZiPS Projections database is priced at $24.95 and is available in version 12 format only. This means it can be installed with Diamond Mind Baseball: Version 12 but cannot be used with any other earlier version of the game.

2023 Postseason Teams now available!


The 2023 Postseason Teams database includes all of the rosters, stats, ratings, manager profiles, park factors and other details that you need to play along with the 2023 MLB Playoffs. This database is being provided free of charge for customers who bought the 2023 ZiPS Projection Season database before October 1st, 2023.

For this release, all players have been updated with their end-of-regular-season stats and the player ratings have been carried over from the 2023 projections database. In most cases, the 26-man rosters are our best guess since most teams had not announced their playoff rosters before the database was prepared for release.

This database includes the 12 teams that qualified for the 2023 MLB postseason with the Wild Card round matchups and schedule set.

From the American League: Baltimore Orioles, Houston Astros, Minnesota Twins, Tampa Bay Rays, Texas Rangers and Toronto Blue Jays.

From the National League: Arizona Diamondbacks, Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Dodgers, Miami Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers and Philadelphia Phillies.

Here's your chance to manage all these teams in postseason play to determine the 2023 World Series Champion!


If you bought the 2023 ZiPS Projection Season before October 1st, 2023, you should be receiving an email notifying you that an update is available that includes the link to download the postseason teams file. Remember to check your spam/junk folder, but if you do not receive the update email, contact us at dmb_info@imaginesports.com to request your copy.

The 2023 Postseason Teams set can also be purchased separately for $9.95.

Note: This season database is a companion product for the Diamond Mind Baseball version 12 game. To use this database, you must also have Diamond Mind Baseball version 12. The game software provides you with all of the tools you need to play simulated games, make roster moves, produce dozens of statistical reports, generate league schedules, and more.
