World Series Baseball '95 is a Sega Mega Drive baseball game and is part of Sega's World Series Baseball franchise.
A Sega 32X version was advertised in North America, but was likely reworked to become World Series Baseball Starring Deion Sanders.

Gameplay
The game adds numerous new features and modes to the previous entry. Players can choose from all 28 teams, with rosters updated to the 1995 MLB season, and all 28 ballparks. Furthermore, the game adds several special teams: the American League Stars, National League Stars, and MLB Stars (consisting of the best players from each league or from both leagues) and the American League Legends, National League Legends, and MLB Legends (all-star teams including historical players such as Lou Gehrig). Batting now uses a "batting bar" resembling a bat rather than the circular indicator of the previous game. The spoken commentary of the previous game has been redone (and reduced in quantity).
- Exhibition: A single game against a human or computer player. The player can also watch two computer-controlled teams play. Assigning control to a human is done before the game by moving the player to a team with
or
, then the game is started with START .
- League: Plays a season of games that culminate in the World Series. The player can choose the number of games (13, 26, 52, 104, or a full 162 games) and the number of divisions (4 or 6). The game adds the ability to draft and trade players and a mid-season All-Star Game (whose members are chosen based on the player's season). The game uses a battery backup to save the player's progress.
- Playoffs: A truncated season with only the play-offs. Progress in this mode is also saved using the battery backup.
- Batting Practice: The player practices batting. There are no outs in this mode. The player can select a left- or right-handed pitcher, a left- or right-handed batter, the type of pitch, and the venue.
- Home Run Derby: Players have 10 attempts to hit as many home runs as possible. A missed attempt is a hit that is not a home run; there are no strike-outs. This mode can be played by up to 8 players taking turns.
- Classic Home Run Derby: This mode is a home run competition that retains outs and innings. Like a standard baseball game, the player pitches during one half of the inning and hits in the other half, but there is no fielding or baserunning. The player with the most home runs after nine innings is the winner. It can be played by one or two players.
The scoreboard is shown at the beginning of the game and after each play (and can be shown by calling a time-out with START ). The scoreboard has a menu that allows players to set the batting line-up, change the defensive position of each player, and choose the starting and relief pitchers. Starting pitchers have more stamina than relief pitchers, but players can have up to two relievers warm up to their maximum stamina in the bullpen. The scoreboard also provides options including selecting the difficulty for pitching and batting separately (Rookie, Veteran, or All-Star), setting the length of the game (3, 6, or 9 innings) before the first pitch, and toggling auto-fielding.
