MLBAM Live Streaming becoming more mainstream

Those fans who watch Major League Baseball via video streaming are increasing every day and the numbers for the playoff games are even higher. 

By now, Major League Baseball Advanced Media has the stats available for the Division Series.  On average, 350,000 live streams were served per game.  Even more interesting, 36,000 of those streamed were sent to mobile devices such as the iPhone. 

These video streams were all subscription or pay-for feeds.  MLBAM notes that these per game averages are higher than the 2009 All-Star Game video stream… which was free. 

One other point… the Postseason.TV package is blackout-free (yay!) but to avoid competition with other major networks, the video stream doesn’t give you in their words, “a complete game experience”. 

At-Bat: new app for the iPhone

For you lucky dogs with an iPhone: this is a video of Jeremy Schoenherr of MLB.com giving a demo of At-Bat, a new MLB application for the iPhone at the Worldwide Developer’s Conference 2008. 

It “lets users access statistics and information about who’s pitching and batting, as well as video highlights in near real-time”.
