This year, with our network powering ABS across all 29 U.S. ballparks and over 5,000 challenges already made, that story has never been clearer \u2014 T-Mobile is at the heart of how baseball is played and watched,” said Lucy McLellan, Chief Brand and Communications Officer, T-Mobile. “We’re always focused on finding ways to push the game forward \u2014 whether that’s the technology powering it, the operations running it or the experiences fans remember long after they leave the ballpark \u2014 and doing that in Philadelphia during such a historic year for the country, with America’s game in the city where it all began, is pretty special.\u201d<\/p>\n America\u2019s Best Network at the Heart of the Midsummer Classic<\/b><\/p>\n \nAt Citizens Bank Park and across Philadelphia, T-Mobile\u2019s network is purpose-built for moments like this \u2014 from the reliable connectivity people demand and Advanced Network Solutions powering systems like ABS, to the high-bandwidth performance behind a live broadcast and the dedicated network slice that keeps critical operations staff connected.<\/p>\n Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System, Powered by T-Mobile<\/b><\/p>\n \nAsk any fan who’s been in the stands this season \u2014 some of the loudest moments aren’t home runs, they’re ABS challenges. Since making its MLB regular season debut this year, the ABS Challenge System has added a new dimension to how baseball is played and watched. With over 5,000 ABS challenges across the league so far, close pitches have turned into some of the most electric moments in the game \u2014 players tapping their caps, fans holding their breath and the decision arriving in seconds. What was introduced for accuracy has quickly become one of the most emotional parts of the game \u2014 so much so that kids in Little League have already been spotted tapping their helmets to mimic the ABS challenge gesture.<\/p>\n \nThat instant decision is only possible because of the network behind it. Working together with MLB, T-Mobile built the private 5G infrastructure powering ABS across all 29 U.S. ballparks. Twelve Hawk-Eye cameras positioned around each ballpark capture every pitch and transmit that data in near real time \u2014 fast enough that by the time a player finishes raising their hand to challenge a call, T-Mobile’s network has already done its job. The decision reaches players and fans in seconds, keeping the energy alive and the pace of the game intact.<\/p>\n \nABS returns to the All-Star Game and Futures Game in Philadelphia this year. Tune into the All-Star Futures Game live on NBC on Sun., July 12 at 9 a.m. PT \/ 12 p.m. ET and the MLB All-Star Game presented by Mastercard on FOX on Tue., July 14 at 5 p.m. PT \/ 8 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n Bringing Fans Closer to the Action at T-Mobile Batting Practice<\/b><\/p>\n \nT-Mobile Batting Practice is where All-Star Week comes alive before the first Derby pitch is even thrown. Players getting loose, balls going yard, the crowd getting amped \u2014 and this year, fans in the stands and at home get closer to that energy than ever before with new immersive views of the action.<\/p>\n \nFor the first time, the L-screen on the pitcher’s mound will be outfitted with multiple 5G cameras, giving fans a view of what it\u2019s like to throw pitches to their favorite players. Additional 5G cameras and aerial drones will capture the action around the ballpark for an up-close look at Derby warmups. And to bring the broadcast to life, T-Mobile\u2019s 5G Advanced Network Solutions (ANS) powers the real-time remote production of the live show, transmitting high-definition video from Citizens Bank Park to the production studio in New Jersey, so what fans see at home looks and feels like they\u2019re right there in the stands.<\/p>\n \nCatch T-Mobile Batting Practice live at 3:00 p.m. PT \/ 6:00 p.m. ET on Mon., July 13 on MLB.com<\/a>, and MLB\u2019s social channels on YouTube<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, Instagram<\/a> and X<\/a>.

Credentialed staff get the same treatment with Non-Ticketed Entry for fast, secure access. MLB photographers stationed across various All-Star events will also use T-Mobile’s 5G network to upload content in near real time, so the action hits fans’ feeds in seconds.<\/p>\n All-Star Perks for T-Mobile Members<\/b><\/p>\n \nT-Mobile customers in Philadelphia and fans watching from home can enjoy exclusive experiences and perks throughout All-Star Week, including:<\/p>\n \nGoing big at MLB All-Star Week is just one of the ways T-Mobile delivers for its members, because being a customer means getting more than just a great wireless network.
