The MLB All-Star Week is taking place in Texas next week. And apart from getting its network ready, T-Mobile has something lined up for its fans. 

In an announcement today, the Un-carrier revealed some exciting things to look forward to during the event:

• Go-Ahead Entry. Don’t want to fumble around for your ticket?​ ​No problem! For the first time at All-Star Week, facial authentication-enabled entrances will be powered by T-Mobile 5G, making getting into the game easier for fans than ever before. 
• Increased Accessibility. T-Mobile is partnering with MLB and OneCourt to give fans who are visually impaired the ability to experience baseball like never before with 5G-connected devices during the All-Star Game.
• 5G Automated Balls and Strikes. After a successful debut last year, MLB will test the automated ball-strike (ABS) challenge system leveraging a 5G private mobile network from T-Mobile’s 5G Advanced Network Solutions (ANS) during the All-Star Futures Game featuring top Minor League prospects. 
• T-Mobile 5G Batting Practice. The fan-favorite is back! Tune into the T-Mobile 5G BP show to see new, immersive angles of players as they warm up for the T-Mobile Home Run Derby. Get ready to catch the moment the bat meets the ball at up to 4,500 frames per second.
