TL;DR

A former elementary-school teacher-turned-executive, Lindsay Barnett of Playground Productions, spent years securing the Backyard Sports rights—even hiring a private investigator—then partnered with Mega Cat Studios to revive Backyard Baseball as a 3D-leaning, retro-inspired title with no microtransactions, inclusive characters like Kenny Kawaguchi and Sunny Day, and MLB promotion. The game released on Steam for PC/Mac with console plans and expansions teased for long-term growth.
