According to the latest news from the Wall Street Journal, Apple has recently reached a multi-year cooperation agreement with Major League Baseball. Apple will create a customized app (Dugout) for Major League Baseball, which will be used for some data display and statistics of Major League Baseball. In addition, before cooperating with Apple, Major League Baseball had limited the use of tablets and mobile phones during the game, and Apple persuaded them and reached this cooperation agreement

Apple said that the iPad Pro is not simply used to replace the paper book. It can improve the work efficiency of teams and staff and help the game go better. The customized app (Dugout) of iPad Pro will record and save the data of baseball games in real time, such as hit rate, home run, hit count, hit position, hit point, weak bat, etc.

It is known that this strategy of promoting tablets through large-scale competition cooperation is not the first time. Microsoft has already reached cooperation with the National Football League to equip football teams and staff with Microsoft Surface tablets.
