A bit difficult to say and I am unsure if the creators have been explicit: "Nobody is saying how, exactly, this one connects to the duo's previous ultraviolent Battlefield Baseball":

Japan Times calls it a "followup":

Twitch says it is "a film that is not a sequel to BATTLEFIELD BASEBALL but rather an entirely fresh spin on the same characters":

Which seems about right - it is kind of a sequel, kind of a remake (they've basically got a bit more fame and a bit more money so have decided to go back to the original and see what they could do with the concept) but they are different films (as different as you can make a mad baseball film anyway) and it is worth watching them both.

brilliant thanks for the info.

ive had battlefield baseball on dvd for around 7 years now and was worried about buying this in case it was the same film,
now i know its a partial remake/re-telling i can buy it.

Hope you enjoy it.

I've added a connection update into the trivia saying it is a remake/sequel/reworking kind of thing (hopefully, less vague ).
