Pro Yakyū Spirits (プロ野球スピリッツ, Puro Yakyū Supirittsu; lit. Professional Baseball Spirits), also known as Pro Baseball Spirits or just Pro Spirits (プロスピ, Puro Spi) is a Japanese baseball sports simulation game series, developed by Baseball Contents Production and published by Konami. It is a spin-off series of the Jikkyō Powerful Pro Yakyū (Power Pros) franchise.
While the main series Power Pros focuses on fast-paced but deep gameplay, the gameplay of Professional Baseball Spirits has a focus for realistic graphics and physics, similar to the Pro Evolution Soccer series. Just like Power Pros, most games in the series are developed under license from the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) and the Japan Professional Baseball Players Association (JPBPA), letting them use the league's team names, stadiums, colors, and players' names and likenesses. Also, a version of Professional Baseball Spirits featuring Major League Baseball players was released under the title eBaseball: MLB PRO SPIRIT on October 23, 2024.
