Report: MLB Investigating Diamondbacks After Coach Wore Apple Watch

If you were watching the NL Wild Card game between the Diamondbacks and Rockies, you might have noticed a Diamondbacks coach wearing an item of particular interest in Major League Baseball: an Apple Watch.

TBS cameras caught D'backs coach/Spanish interpreter Ariel Prieto wearing the Apple Watch in the bottom of the second inning, and Major League Baseball has launched an investigation into why Prieto was wearing the device, reports The New York Post.

Apple Watches—more specifically, their use in baseball—became a hot topic when the Yankees submitted a report accusing the Red Sox of using the devices to communicate the Yankees' pitch signs during a series at Fenway Park in September.
