Does this exist? What is this? Or is it just another name for ...

Did Fathom and ABC Sports produce them together, or is the one the owner of the other...?

I assume it's just the working name for:

"ABC sports presents: Power Hitter"
A CD-i fantasy batting challenge

produced by Fathom pictures, INC. in association with philips interactive media of America.

Now this one is an interesting question and something I came across whilst writing the CD-i section for Digital Press Advance.

As far as I can tell Batter Up was the "working title" for Power Hitter, think it was Gir that provided me with information concerning the catalogue code of both games being identical. So presumably the name Batter Up was dropped in favour of Power Hitter. Another interesting point is that this software was rereleased complete with new stats in a "1993 Revision" edition.
