To The Strat-O-Matic Community,

Thank you for making the past year an incredible journey through the world of Strat-O-Matic.

As we step into 2024, I extend my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering passion and commitment. Your enthusiasm propels us forward, and we’re thrilled to share these exciting developments out of Glen Head.

Unveiling New Seasons:

Diving right in: the unveiling of two remarkable seasons – the captivating 2023 season and the iconic 1984 season, now updated for all current Super Advanced features. Designed with Strat-O-Matic’s unparalleled statistical accuracy, these cards will encapsulate the unforgettable moments that defined these extraordinary seasons.

2023 Season Highlights:

Witness history unfold as Texas clinches its first championship, marking a momentous occasion for fans and players alike. The stolen base returns to the forefront, injecting a thrilling dynamic into the game. Shohei Ohtani’s mastery takes center stage, showcasing brilliance both at the plate and on the mound. Ronald Acuna’s MVP performance sets a new standard with a .337 batting average, 41 homers, and an astonishing 73 stolen bases.

1984 Season Highlights

Relive the magic of the 1984 season – The Tigers wire-to-wire domination, Dwight Gooden’s dazzling rookie debut, Tony Gwynn’s first batting title – or rewrite history your way.

Exciting Releases:

This February, we will introduce the 1920’s Diamond Gems card set, bringing legendary players from baseball’s golden era to life. On Windows, stay tuned for the release of the 2024 Hall of Fame, the brand new 1913 and 1941 Negro League seasons, 2024 Baseball Daily, and the Career Historical Rosters updated through 2023. The Winter Newsletter will reveal even more new players coming your way in February.
