MLB and Apple partner to bring iPads into dugouts and bullpens

Major League Baseball is getting a new influx of tech in the dugout for the 2016 season thanks to a new partnership with Cupertino-based giant Apple that was announced Wednesday. The new deal will make the iPad Pro available to all 30 MLB teams for use in-game both in dugouts and bullpens.

“Our collaboration with Apple on the use of iPad Pro in dugouts and bullpens is part of our ongoing effort to introduce extraordinary technology into our game,” MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. “We are pleased that Apple’s groundbreaking products, which have already improved the access that fans have to our sport, will now inform the decisions that make our games interesting and exciting throughout the year.
