Arizona Diamondback fans will now be able to experience baseball from their favorite players’ points of view.
The Diamondbacks announced they are partnering with Cox Communications and R&R Partners to bring fans the Cox Connects VR Bullpen area to the main concourse of Chase Field.
The VR experience will allow fans to see through the eyes of pitchers, see what it looks like from the player’s perspective to field a ground ball and catch a fly ball. It will also give people behind-the-scenes looks of the life of a Major League Baseball player.

Cox Connects uses HTC VIVE to showcase content. Fans that are not looking through the headset will be able to see the VR experience on television displays.
This isn’t R&R Partners first project with bringing sports fans virtual reality experiences. The agency also worked with The Penguins to give fans an exclusive look at the Stanley Cup.
Proud to be partners @Dbacks. Their forward-thinking and professionalism were invaluable in capturing an #Epic #OpeningDay experience. pic.twitter.com/RFfpWI08qq
