About MLB
MLB is Major League Baseball’s official app, with live and on-demand video and audio, news, highlights, real-time player positions and Live Activities for the games you follow.
Apple named it in its October 22 roundup of apps for iPhone Duo. MLB’s Kenny Gersh said the league worked with Apple to have the app ready for the World Series: set the phone half folded on a table and the game plays on the upright half while real-time stats fill the half on the table, “so fans never have to choose between the broadcast and the box score.” The release notes for version 26.18.3 add a redesigned tab bar and scoreboard layouts for every orientation.
