The startup virtual reality production and training company EON Sports VR announced Wednesday it has expanded its baseball category overseas to the Yokohama DeNA Baystars, a member of the Japanese Central League.
The organization will begin incorporating EON Sports’ interactive software and baseball virtual reality simulator into its training for this season. It is the first Japanese professional baseball team to leverage EON Sports’ training technology and also the company’s first international sports client.
“EON Sports is excited to announce our partnership with the Baystars,” Dan O’Dowd, the ex-Colorado Rockies general manager and current EON Sports managing partner, said in a statement.
