***MLB 2000*** is a 1999 [baseball](/source/Baseball) [video game](/source/Video_game) developed by [989 Sports](/source/989_Sports) and published by [Sony Computer Entertainment](/source/Sony_Computer_Entertainment) for the [PlayStation](/source/PlayStation_(console)). The color commentary for the game is from [Dave Campbell](/source/Dave_Campbell_(infielder)) and the play by play announcer is [Vin Scully](/source/Vin_Scully). [Anaheim Angels](/source/Los_Angeles_Angels) designated hitter [Mo Vaughn](/source/Mo_Vaughn) was featured on the cover.

It has been preceded by *[MLB '99](/source/MLB_'99)* and succeeded by *[MLB 2001](/source/MLB_2001)*.

## Reception

The game received "favorable" reviews according to the [review aggregation](/source/Review_aggregator) website [GameRankings](/source/GameRankings).[2] *[Next Generation](/source/Next_Generation_(magazine))* said that the game "swings for the fences, but falls short. It doesn't do anything truly innovative, and it needed to in order to make up for some of the more annoying features of the game. It's still a fun game, but not the leader of the pack."[3] Kraig Kujawa of *[Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine](/source/Official_U.S._PlayStation_Magazine)* said, "If you're a die-hard fan of the *MLB* series, then *MLB 2000* is worth picking up since it offers more of exactly the same. But if you have last year's *MLB* or no baseball game at all, then pick up [EA](/source/EA_Sports)'s *[Triple Play 2000](/source/Triple_Play_2000)*. It's better, and [it] has taken better advantage of its time in the off-season."[4]
