MLB.com at Bat update brings a number of new features for iPad users
After a long winter, Spring Training has finally begun for Major League Baseball. And to celebrate, the popular MLB.com at Bat app has just received a nice update with a number of new features.
Perfect for the iPad
Any iPad user should definitely be glad to download version 9.0.0. On the tablet, the app is now available to view in both portrait and landscape mode.
The Picture in Picture feature is another nice feature for iPad users.
The app also takes advantage of the multitasking gestures for the iPad in iOS 9. With the Picture in Picture feature, you can watch live games and stream highlights while doing other work on your tablet. It is now also compatible with the Split View feature as well.
On all iOS devices, a number of sections have been redesigned including Gameday, News Reader, Video, Sortable Stats, and more.

MLB.com at Bat is a universal app designed for the iPhone/iPod touch, all iPad models, and the Apple TV. It can be downloaded now on the App Store for free.
With an in-app purchase of $2.99 per month or $19.99 per year, users can unlock a premium subscription that includes the ability to listen to live home/away game day audio, follow game day pitch-by-pitch with Pitch-FX, watch classic games, and the MLB.TV Game of the Day.
