At Bat updated to version 1.2

by Dave Caolo Sep 2nd 2008 at 7:00PM

One of my favorite iPhone/iPod touch applications, Major League Baseball's At Bat [App Store link] has been updated to version 1.2 with great new features.

For the unfamiliar, At Bat provides up-to-the-minute statistics on ongoing baseball games, including the count at the plate, pitching and batter statistics ... even video clips of a game that's in progress. It's a little treasure for baseball fans (like me) who can't always watch the day's game.

Version 1.2 adds cool "Gameday" features, including pitch-by-pitch updates (speed, call, even placement over the plate), full box scores (both teams), a player card for each member of the roster with oodles of information and a game summary that sorts the action into top plays and runs.

At $4.99US, At Bat is a must-have for all fans of Major League Baseball, and sits easily among my top three applications. Go, Sox!

This app is mediocre with standings. How hard is it to add standings to this already? Especially with the play offs approaching.

Aaron, I got a little free MLB Standings application put together over the weekend for that exact reason. I'm uploading today to the AppStore.

I actually wish I had thought of this earlier, but it should be available soon. Just search for Standings.

Now THAT is a killer upgrade. I spent way too much time keeping up with Cubs-Astros last night, and it was so good to have Gameday right there, keeping track of the action. Now, in Version 1.3, can I swipe something to end the Cubs' skids?

The original app was not worth the money. Aside from the sleek look, it did not provide even as much info as the mlb wap site. With that said, 1.2 makes it all worthwile. As much as I hate to keep paying year after year, at least it is finally worth it.

I don't have an iphone and sorta wish there was a dashboard widget store if paying is the only way to get something as polished as this seems to be. The current baseball widgets are alright but this seems more complete.

Definitely not a fan of the subscription model. I think apple should have a clause against it in the developers agreement to protect its customers.

It barely mentions that it dies more than halfway through the description of the app and could easily be missed by most buyers.

That said, it looks to be a very useful and well developed app.

I just noticed a free app Sportacular that seems to be very good and gives most sports scores/info and not just baseball..

I don't have At Bat since I'm not that huge of a baseball fan, so I'm not sure how it completely compares.

Someone point out any big differences?

I would love an app like this for the NFL. Or so i could track my Fantasy Football team.

This is such a huge update, it should've been version 2.0.
