It was part of the console's founding launch, at a time when Atari still wasn't quite sure how much it could ask of the hardware: two teams, a batter, a pitcher, and the most elementary physics possible to simulate home runs and outs. There's no strategy or gameplay variants beyond that base, typical of the first handful of cartridges that accompanied the 2600 in its earliest months of life.
It's remembered today exclusively for its place in history, as part of the founding catalog that defined, for better and worse, what was expected of a sports game on a home console.
