Editor Reviews

The official online home of Major League Baseball fans, MLB delivers in-depth action that keeps you connected to the game from just about anywhere. At minimum, the app offers live game streaming (blackouts subject to availability) and real-time score updates, news, and in-depth game analysis. At home, away from home, or in the stadium, MLB connects fans to and keeps them informed about the players and teams they adore. The app offers a tidy look with an intuitive interface to navigate—news articles, scores, and interactive statistics on the home page. It’s simple to switch between live gamecasts and on-demand replays and edited highlight packages from the app.

One such shiny feature among the app is MLB.TV and At Bat audio service integration to enable the viewers to experience live-out market games and official radio play-by-play play uninterrupted. Live streaming within-app is high quality with adaptive streaming that will automatically set up to your connection type to offer silky-smooth viewing on tablets and mobile devices. Viewers with voracious appetites beyond video will appreciate the real-time pitching chart and statistical overlays that bring a better sense to the gestalt of the game. Viewers can track on a pitch-by-pitch basis, review comprehensive box scores, and even get notification for highlight reel moments.

Along with game-day news, MLB delivers a wealth of original content in the form of interviews, documentaries, and behind-the-scenes footage. The news feed as well is personalized to individual preferences, with news from favorite teams and players delivered to fans so they can stay informed about league news in real time. The ability to buy tickets as well is incorporated with users able to purchase game tickets or check out schedule details without ever having to leave the app. While the app is available to download free of charge, premium services like streaming games outside of a person’s market through MLB.TV will require an additional fee.

The app has been regularly redesigned so that even die-hard regulars find enhancements in the interface and response. Other than the occasional stuttering here and there with lag during high-traffic times and region blackout restrictions, MLB is among the best online alternatives to be in contact with America’s pastime. It straddles between traditional broadcast viewing and the convenience of contemporary streaming and is an app worth high on the downloads for anyone committed to baseball.
