APP of the WEEK

MLB AT BAT (iOS, ANDROID, free with in-app purchases)

IF you have been gripped by the first ever Major League Baseball games to be played in Europe this week, you’ll almost certainly want to continue following the action as the season unfolds over the next four months.

Almost 120,000 people crammed into the West Ham’s London Stadium last weekend to watch the New York Yankees take a 17-13 victory over Boston Red Socks.

And now the two teams take it back Stateside but you can follow the action on new app MLB at Bat which features scores, news, videos, standings, stats schedules, and notifications – all for free.

You can pay £14.99 for a year’s access to a premium tier of access, or £2.79 monthly. For this you get an enhanced service that offers live audio, in-game highlights, and a live “game of the day”.

By far the best way to keep up with the sport on this side of the water.
