You might not have what it takes to throw a pitch for the Seattle Mariners, but you can at least stand around on the mound and watch. Virtually at least.

T-Mobile and the Mariners are teaming for another unique experience tied to the return of Major League Baseball, as they continue to look for ways to engage fans who can’t be at T-Mobile Park because of the coronavirus pandemic.

On Monday, a 360-degree high definition livestream — riding on T-Mobile’s wireless network — will stream on the Mariners’ YouTube channel at 1:30 p.m. PT.

Shot during batting practice, the livestream is intended to put fans in the middle of the action and will allow them to feel like they’re standing on the field. As T-Mobile puts it, it provides “a glimpse of how wireless networks will transform sporting events in the future through new and immersive experiences.”

Because of the unique nature of the health crisis and the fact that teams will have to play with no one in the stands, the Mariners are trying to bring more fans in online. The team is streaming daily practice sessions on YouTube as part of their Summer Camp at T-Mobile Park. And they’re running a promotion encouraging fans to “virtually cheer” by recording themselves and sending that content for use by the team during games.
