Baseball and the Video iPod
Filed in archive Handhelds by Eric Hanson on June 16, 2006
, CNN reports, have picked up on the idea of using the iPod Video to replay clips so that pitchers and hitters can study their opponents (and themselves) right before they go out to play. The organization has also equipped several of its scouts with iPods, so they can study clips when making scouting reports and draft choices. Given how conservative baseball can be, I'm not terribly surprised that a.) it's taken this long for a team to adopt this incredibly useful technology for their use and b.) that older players seem less likely to adopt the iPod than younger ones, but I am excited about the doors of possibility unusual uses like this one open. Maybe Apple responds by marketing video iPods to organizations and schools at a group discount to help promote learning opportunities?
