Two Brand-New Game Modes

Summer Star Showcase introduces two exciting Tower experiences that put your roster to the ultimate test.

Walk-Off Hero

Every game begins in the bottom of the ninth with everything on the line.

Choose one hitter from your roster as your Walk-Off Hero and step into a clutch at-bat where a single swing can win the game. Some stages will feature roster restrictions, encouraging you to build specialized lineups to complete the challenge.

Lose a game and you’ll restart the current level, so every at-bat matters.

Shutdown Hero

Think your bullpen can handle the pressure?

Shutdown Hero flips the script by putting you on the mound in critical late-game situations. Select your Shutdown Hero pitcher and protect the lead through increasingly difficult challenges.

Like Walk-Off Hero, certain stages may require specific player types or teams, rewarding players who have built deep rosters.

Collect New Star 26 Players

Summer Star Showcase introduces 50 brand-new Star 26 Players, featuring many of baseball’s brightest stars.

Throughout the event you’ll have opportunities to collect:

  • Rare through Highlight Star 26 Players
  • Exclusive Highlight Player chases
  • Featured players across Prime Events and Tower Events

Whether you’re upgrading your dream team or hunting for elite talent, this is one of the biggest player releases of the season.

Exclusive Event Rewards

Summer Star Showcase also includes limited-time rewards beyond new players.

Look for:

  • Exclusive event bundles
  • Limited-time badges
  • Summer-themed uniforms
  • Highlight Player chases
  • Plenty of Gold, rewards, and collectibles throughout the week

The Prime Events and Tower Events will share featured Highlight Players, giving you multiple paths toward earning your biggest rewards.
