Baseball Stars 2 (ベースボールスター2, Bēsubōru Sutā 2^?) is a 2-player baseball sports arcade game released by SNK in 1992 for the Neo-Geo console. A less detailed console version was released for the NES by Romstar the same year.

The Neo-Geo version was released for Virtual Console on December 10, 2007 and the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable and Wii as part of SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1.

You can select from one of 18 teams across two leagues: Exciting League (beginner) & Fighting League (expert).

It featured 18 teams across 2 leagues (exciting league & fighting league) and put more emphasis on the graphics and the gameplay; for example, being able to change pitchers or batters and powering up batters which increased the size of the bat.

Baseball Stars 2 for the Nintendo Entertainment System was distributed by Romstar in 1992.

Changes made from the original Baseball Stars, released by SNK in 1989:

Players can still create leagues of up to 125 games (6 teams playing each other 25 times) and view statistics such as League Standings and Top 10 in Average, Home Runs, Runs Batted In, Earned Run Average, Wins and Saves. (A peculiar glitch occurs when viewing league leaders. The last pitcher listed on any user-created team in "View Team" does not appear in any of the Top 10 leaderboards.)
