Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball is an unreleased MLB game by Exile Interactive, planned for release in 2005.

Description
Exile Interactive served as the development team for the game. The team had previously worked on Sega's World Series Baseball 2K2 and 2K3.
The game features a Speed Play mode that can be enabled mid-game, focusing control to only the batter-pitcher matchup to allow a full game to played more quickly.
Rookie of the Year mode lets players control a single created character across a full season. Performance points earned in the mode can be spent to improve other players on the same team. Created characters that win the Rookie of the Year award are added to the free agent pool for Franchise Mode.
Franchise Mode allows for control of a single team for up to fifteen seasons.
A Home Field Evolution mode allows the player to earn upgrade points across various game modes to spend on their own custom park, including features not just of Major League parks but also sandlot and minor league-quality parks.
