Stats in the Dugout

MLB allows dugouts to enter the 21st century:

There will be a new player in Major League Baseball dugouts this season: the iPad. Apple Inc. and MLB signed a multi-year agreement to equip every team with iPad Pro tablets to help coaching staffs make better use of data.

Teams will be able sift through performance stats from current and past seasons, weigh potential pitcher-hitter matchups, look at “spray charts” showing where a player is likely to hit a ball, even cue up videos of plays from previous games.

The data available on the iPads will be proprietary to each team, rather than drawing from a league-wide database.

Cool. Joe Girardi should be happy, as he doesn’t need the bulky binders anymore.
