The Diamondbacks are joining the evolution in more ways than one this spring training.
Arizona’s Twitter page has begun using Periscope to live-stream spring training events. On Friday, Zack Greinke and Shelby Miller’s first bullpen sessions with the team were streamed live, and Greinke’s conversation with reporters after his bullpen session was streamed as well.
This innovation offers a unique opportunity for fans to follow their favorite team. Just a few years ago finding a live showing of a ten-minute bullpen session was unheard of. No T.V. station would cut to a pitcher playing a glorified game of catch for such a short period of time.
