For those of you who are sick of this stuff by now, I promise that this will be the final Major League Baseball 2K9-related post of the day.

Here’s the third teaser trailer for 2K Sports’ baseball sim. Clocking in at just under two minutes long, it gives us a look at this year’s implementation of 2K’s Signature Style™ when it comes to batters walking up to the plate. (I was relieved to see that they didn’t commit the common error of writing “sneak peak.”)

In the video, you’ll be able to see the walk-ups of the following hitters:

  • Boston Red Sox 1B Kevin Youkilis
  • Florida Marlins SS Hanley Ramirez
  • Chicago Cubs RF Kosuke Fukudome
  • Oakland Athletics LF Matt Holliday
  • Florida Marlins 2B Dan Uggla
  • Boston Red Sox CF Jacoby Ellsbury
  • Boston Red Sox DH David Ortiz

Wow … biased much, 2K?

The developers have certainly nailed this stuff, which is awesome, since it’s the kind of accuracy that sports gamers demand nowadays. I mean, the faces aren’t exactly spot-on — just look at Youkilis, for example — but at least the players will look like their real-life counterparts from a distance. You can also watch the first and second teasers, or look at the skits featuring Tim Lincecum.

MLB 2K9 will be out in a few short weeks — on March 3rd — for PS3, 360, Wii, PC, PS2, and PSP.
