High Heat Major League Baseball 2002, also known as High Heat Baseball 2002, is a video game released in 2001, and is the fourth game in the High Heat Major League Baseball video game series. Then-Montreal Expos right fielder Vladimir Guerrero is featured on the cover. The game was released in March 2001 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation, and PlayStation 2, followed by a Game Boy Advance port in September 2001. A Game Boy Color version was also in development but was cancelled.

Reception

The Windows and PlayStation 2 versions received "generally favorable reviews", while the Game Boy Advance and PlayStation versions received "mixed or average reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Christopher Allen of AllGame gave the Windows version four stars out of five, stating, "With its massive number of statistics, solid gameplay, and avalanche of customization options, High Heat Major League Baseball 2002 is a must have for any baseball fanatic. A wide fan base and multiplayer options will insure the freshness of this title for a long time. Beyond the gnawing irritation of glaring bugs requiring a patch to swat, the game is the closest representation to baseball on the computer as of 2001." Tom Carroll of the same website gave the PlayStation 2 version three stars out of five, saying that it was "not a beautiful game, despite being one of the most complete baseball titles on the market today." Rob Smolka of NextGen called the PlayStation 2 version "a must-buy for all serious PS2 baseball fans."

Uncle Dust of GamePro compared the PlayStation version to "that off-speed pitcher who wins 15 games a year for your team—you tolerate him as a solid performer, but he's not your favorite player." However, he said of the PlayStation 2 version, "This is one game that is better every time you play and deserves to be taken on a full 162-game season." However, he also said of the Game Boy Advance version in its early review, "It's sad because High Heat MLB 2002 could've been a terrific game on the GBA, yet its lack of depth, bad soundtrack, and easy difficulty level make the game a minor leaguer."

Computer Games Magazine and PC Gamer US both named the PC version the best sports game of 2001, with the latter calling it "the best simulation of any sport." It also won the award for "Best Sports Game for PC" at The Electric Playgrounds 2001 Blister Awards, and was nominated for the "Best Sports Game" award GameSpots Best and Worst of 2001 Awards, which went to FIFA 2002.
