Pro Yakyuu Virtual Stadium is a Japan-only 3DO action baseball game published by EA Sports. The game would later be adapted with some shared assets for the North American market on PS1 and PC as Triple Play 97.

The game was expected to have a U.S. release on 3DO at some point, presumably with MLB teams and players. The game was mentioned in various sources with prospective titles like Virtual Baseball, Virtual Stadium Baseball, or Virtual Stadium: Professional Baseball. Presumably, a U.S. release was shelved due to poor sales for 3DO consoles in North America.
