2022 Postseason Teams database is now available!
The 2022 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 2022 MLB Playoffs. This database is provided free of charge for customers that previously bought the 2022 Projection Season database.
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 2022 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 2022 MLB postseason with the Wild Card round matchups and schedule set.
From the American League: Cleveland Guardians, Houston Astros, New York Yankees, Seattle Mariners, Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays.
From the National League: Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies, San Diego Padres and St. Louis Cardinals.
Here's your chance to manage all these teams in postseason play to determine the 2022 World Series Champion!
If you have already purchased the 2022 ZiPS Projection Season, 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 2022 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.
