Watch the All-Stars in a new way -- in Gameday 3D
The All-Star Game is all about showcasing what baseball's best players can do when they're all on the field together. And for the 2024 Midsummer Classic on Tuesday (8 p.m. ET, FOX), if you want to see those highlights from a unique perspective, try following the game with Gameday 3D.
Gameday 3D is MLB's interactive tool that recreates the game in a 3D environment. In real time, as the game happens, it takes Statcast's tracking data and turns it into a live, three-dimensional version of the action, which fans can access from within Gameday on MLB.com or in the MLB App.
With Gameday 3D, you can experience every pitch and every play of a Major League game from angles that you can't always see on a television broadcast. And that includes the 2024 All-Star Game presented by Mastercard.
Gameday 3D is free for all fans through the All-Star Game, thanks to Mastercard and its support of Stand Up to Cancer. So when Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, Bryce Harper, Adley Rutschman and the rest of this year's All-Stars take the field on Tuesday at Globe Life Field, you'll be able to use Gameday 3D to see all their biggest plays of the game in a whole new way.
Here's the type of play you might get in the All-Star Game: American League starting shortstop Gunnar Henderson pulling off a defensive gem like the one he did in the ninth inning of an Orioles-Phillies game last month.
This is what that play looks like in Gameday 3D:
Using Gameday 3D, you can set the camera to track Henderson as he makes the play (just double-click on Henderson). Or use the "Action" cam to follow the ball from Nick Castellanos' bat to Henderson's glove to Ryan Mountcastle's mitt at first base. Or use "Fan Control" to position the camera however you want.
Here are some of the other 2024 All-Stars you might want to track with Gameday 3D in the Midsummer Classic:
(Follow the links and click the "Gameday 3D" tab for an interactive version of each play.)
- You could watch Judge crush a home run like this 112 mph shot in the Subway Series, the 30th of the season for the Yankees slugger:
- Or maybe it will be Ohtani who hits a big home run in his first All-Star Game as a Dodger, like the one he hit off a 100 mph heater from fellow All-Star Paul Skenes:
- Skenes is starting the All-Star Game for the National League, and you can use the "Strike Zone" cam to see what the Pirates rookie's electric stuff looks like from the batter's point of view. Take this 100 mph fastball for his 11th strikeout to finish off six no-hit innings against the Cubs, for example:
- You might see another fireballer, Mason Miller, close the All-Star Game -- like he did here against the Yankees by blowing a 102 mph pitch past Judge:
- There will be electric speedsters in the All-Star Game too, like Bobby Witt Jr. for the AL. The Royals phenom legged out this game-tying triple in the ninth inning in just 10.98 seconds, at an elite 30.3 ft/sec sprint speed:
- On the NL side, Elly De La Cruz might be as fast as Witt … if not faster. Here's the Reds star diving for an infield single in the ninth inning after reaching a beyond-elite 31.1 ft/sec sprint speed and going home-to-first in 4.17 seconds:
- Or you might see a clutch play from someone like NL starting shortstop Trea Turner. Here he is ripping the go-ahead hit for the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park to celebrate his birthday on June 30:
The point is this: Any All-Star on either roster can make an incredible play in the Midsummer Classic. And Gameday 3D can make those plays come alive in an extra dimension that we never had before.
