Baseball is a game of details. At its core there’s pitching, hitting, catching, throwing, and tagging. All of those areas of the game have received major development resources this year. Below are a few changes we’ve revealed in our trailer:

Expansion of Road to the Show
Dynamic crowds like Judge’s Chambers
New unique home run celebrations
Revamped hitting engine with improved physics
Rewritten player tagging system
Over 1,000 new gameplay animations
More legends

They said there is a feature in the game we have been wanting for awhile. I really hope that's a batter's eye mechanic. Without that it's a hard pass this year. Last year's version will be fine.

They got me interested with the mentioned expansion of Road to the Show. That mode has been in dire need of either a complete overhaul or major additions/changes for a while now.

Pretty cool to see Ruth unlocked from the go and for use in Franchise. I wish all sports franchises did the same:
