Bob Uecker and former MLB pitcher-turned-broadcast analyst Rob Dibble call the action as players will test their skills in a series of MLB-themed activities ranging from trivia challenges, to puzzles, to skills tests. 2K Sports promises that over 20 different mini-games will be available in Baseball Blast!, including such events as Fly Ball Fury, Cami-ball, Power Pitcher, Bumper Base, Pennant Race, and Galaxy Ball. Points earned through mini-games can be spent on extras like trophies, new events, and strategy cards that can shift the balance of power in multiplayer sessions. In addition to the mini-game action in Baseball Blast!, the game also offers a Trivia mode that will test players’ baseball knowledge with a database of over 100 different questions.

Details are still scarce on this new Wii game, but it’s safe to say that we’ll start seeing more specifics as we move from the dog days of summer towards the heat of baseball’s pennant races later next month.
