MLBx: All-Star 3-on-3 Presented by Ito En is a high-energy competition that combines the excitement of power hitting with the athleticism of defensive play. Each player receives one two-minute at-bat during the three-inning game. During an at-bat, one team positions its three players in the outfield while the opposing team hits from a custom-built stage. Teams earn points for home runs and defensive catches, with bonus points available by hitting a center-field target positioned above the outfield fence. Players can also activate a five-swing "Hot Streak", where offensive and defensive points count double. At the end of each game, the team with the most points advances. The bracket-style competition features two semi-finals followed by a Championship Game, with each game lasting approximately 30 minutes.
MLB's partnership with Athletes Unlimited Softball League (AUSL) further highlights MLBx's unique co-ed format and provides a major platform for some of the world's best softball players during one of baseball's marquee weekends. Alyssa Brito, NiJaree Canady, Rachel Garcia and Tiare Jennings will each represent an AUSL club, showcasing the athleticism and excitement of professional softball alongside MLB legends and celebrity athletes.
