MLB Advanced Media and New Relic Inc. recently announced a partnership to host a hackathon competition called the Bases Coded Technology Challenge. The hackathon will take place during the MLB playoffs, and they are currently accepting team applications for the chance to design a new consumer-facing baseball-themed app.
MLBAM, MLB’s digital media branch, began running their hackathon competition in 2013. This year’s co-host, New Relic, is a software analytics giant and hopes to make the 2016 event better than ever.
Bases Coded is currently open to any U.S. resident, 18 and older.
