MLB At Bat | GIZMODO.cz

For some, the change of the season is marked not by calendars or climate changes, but by the beat of sports fandom. Rest easy, baseball fans: spring is finally here. Naturally, Major League Baseball is heralding in the weather by updating its MLB At Bat app for 2013 spring training, touting new features for Android and iOS users alike. The apps updated team pages, retooled navigation and classic games library are universally available to both Android and iOS users, but the iPhone will score an enhanced and searchable video library and an exclusive home screen customization feature. MLB promises to pipe in more functionality before the season opens, however -- including mobile access for BlackBerry 10 users. What hasn't changed? The price, of course: Android subscribers will need to pony up $20 for the year, while iOS retains its $3 monthly subscription plan. Of course, MLB.tv Premium subscribers get full access, gratis. Slide past the break for the official press release.

If you're a fan of the MLB At Bat 2012 app on iOS, a new update brings a few noteworthy treats. First of all, iPad users are gifted with a new overlay that puts live stats on top of the action, meaning you won't miss a swing of the bat. Also, Ford SYNC users can now hook it up via AppLink, and get scores, schedules and live audio on the move. There are a handful of other new features, such as social sharing of video highlights and a re-designed news headline (iPhone only). No word on whether Androiders will get the same treatment yet, but for those on the iOS team, strike out on the source link for the goods.
