Some die-hard baseball fans might agree that the sport’s regular season is too long, and the many high-stakes shenanigans of the offseason also keep many invested in the comings and goings of their favorite teams and players. That means there’s virtually no offseason for Major League Baseball superfans, and for the best year-round coverage of the sport, iPhone-loving baseball fans should look no further than MLB’s IOS app, the latest version of which earned an Editors’ Choice tab from Apple.
Officially endorsed by Major League Baseball, it’s no surprise that the app is the best way to keep up with all things baseball. The free version of the app even allows users to customize their feeds by choosing which teams and players to focus on, and you can even watch live match streams with the app’s free Game of the Day stream.
If you want to get the most out of the MLB app, you’ll need to look at its subscription tiers, as they provide access to live games throughout the league. The MLB At Bat package will cost you $3.99 per month and allows you to listen to in-game radio broadcasts for all 30 teams. For $24.99 per month, you can access MLB TV, which gives you access to all MLB games live on your phone. But as solid as the app’s live features are, at that price, some users will be frustrated by the blackout restrictions that regularly prevent viewing of local streams. So, be warned.
