Virtual Dugout provides University of Illinois Baseball fans with an interactive and immersive virtual space to dynamically augment and enhance the experience of following Illini baseball. With Virtual Dugout on your iPhone, our multimedia, gaming, and sabermetrics environments will make your Illini fan experience more informative, more social, and more fun - whether you’re at Illinois Field or following the game remotely.

Ever wonder what goes through the shortstop’s mind when he’s turning a double play? Or how a starting pitcher mentally prepares for a game? Launch Virtual Dugout’s Augmented Reality Mode, point your iPhone at a player’s Illini baseball card, then watch his headshot come to life as he personally talks about all this and more in his video biography.

Using Virtual Dugout’s Roster, you not only see a list of Illini players, you have their updated stats at your fingertips within seconds of the completion of a play.

Launch our At Bat mode to get up to the second updates on the pitcher vs. hitter duel, not only for the current batter but also for the pitcher vs. the entire batting order he’s facing.

And with our soon-to-be-implemented Win Probability Mode, you’ll be able to find out in real-time how a play changes the probability of the Illini winning against a visiting team, and learn your favorite player’s contribution to that probability.

Virtual Dugout will give you up-to-the-minute, personalized access to game statistics, players, coaches and even to the field itself.

So prepare yourself to experience baseball as you never have before.
