The MLB is taking a page from the NFL’s playbook and equipping teams with tablets to use during games for the 2016 season.
But, instead of Microsoft Surface Tablets, the MLB has made a deal with Apple to provide all 30 MLB teams with iPad Pros to use.
The iPads will give coaches the ability to get historical game statistics, pull up video from previous games, and even simulate potential pitcher-batter matches, according to the WSJ.
Notably, the data on each team’s iPad will be proprietary to each team, and not taken from a central, league-wide database.
