Play Ball!
(Published on 5. January 2022, 03:14 by apete)
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Neighboring digits along green lines must differ by at least 5.
Digits along thermos increase from the bulb end.
Digits in grey circles are odd. (Pitcher's mound and on deck circles.)
Cells separated by white baseballs contain consecutive digits.
The numbers outside the grid pointing down both foul lines show the total of the digits along those lines.
(Digits can repeat along these lines if other rules allow it.)
The given digits are the standard numbers for the positions on the field.

Ha! I was working on a puzzle with almost exactly the same premise two weeks ago -- given digits equal to the position numbers, but with arrows as the base paths with their circles as the bases.
Loved your inclusion of the on deck circles and base coaches.
BTW, your description mentions a cage that must have been in an earlier version.
