Yahoo and MLB.com have launched “MLB.com Full Count,” a new online video offering produced and powered by MLB.com in partnership with Yahoo Sports.
“MLB.com Full Count lets fans follow live Major League Baseball action throughout the remainder of the regular season featuring live look-ins to key plays and pivotal moments, and in-progress video highlights from around the league, as well as statistical data and historical footage relevant to the day’s action,” a spokesperson for Yahoo tells WebProNews.
It’s free and is immediately available here.
Next year, the product will cover the entire regular season, starting with the first full day of games. It will also later expand to be available on mobile and tablet devices.
MLB.com is also providing Yahoo with access to daily highlights from every game.
