Buster Posey first experienced virtual reality last spring when the San Francisco Giants had their All-Star catcher wear goggles so he could see the VR experience the team had put together.
“It was pretty strange because I was watching myself stretch as if I was there watching it,” Posey said Thursday. “It was like an out-of-body experience.”
For this year’s MLB All-Star FanFest, it’s Posey who is the star of a VR experience that enables fans to see and feel what it’s like to catch virtual pitches starting July 7 at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
