The MLB's core iOS app,
At Bat, has been added to the
list of titles compatible with Apple's CarPlay platform. While most of At Bat's functions require a person's attention, via CarPlay users will be
able to tune into radio stations broadcasting MLB games in distant cities. Using this will require At Bat's standard subscription, which costs $20 per season or $3 per month.
Only a handful of apps have been announced as CarPlay-ready so far; beyond Apple's own the list includes Beats Music, iHeartRadio, Spotify, and Stitcher. CarPlay itself is coming to just a few car models in 2014, plus aftermarket add-ons from Alpine and Pioneer. The number of compatible apps is likely to surge once more vehicles are ready in 2015.
