Rare and BigPark today are showcasing the first look at baseball in Kinect Sports: Season Two at PAX Prime. Attendees can go head-to-head during the convention in pitcher-versus-batter split-screen showdowns.

On offense, players step into the batter’s box and swing away with the ability to aim hits left or right by swinging early or late, depending on where the fielders are playing. Players can bunt, get a base hit, or give your swing more pop by stepping into it or using your voice to call in the Star Batter who has a higher chance of hitting a homerun. Once the ball is in play, it’s up to the player to run the bases and beat out the throw. On defense players take to the pitcher’s mound to strike the batter out with six pitches. Like hitting, you’ll have the option to use your voice to call in your Star Pitcher once per game. If your opponents do manage to put the ball in play, you’ll have to flash your leather and showcase your lightning reflexes by tracking the hit and making the catch to keep runners off base.

Kinect Sports: Season Two launches exclusively on Kinect for Xbox 360 on October 25 and is rated “E” for everyone. It will include six exciting new sports, including Baseball, Skiing, Tennis, Football, Golf and Darts.
