SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Amazon.com Inc will provide a new set of real-time statistics and graphics on live baseball games later this season, expanding its cloud computing deal with U.S. Major League Baseball, the two organizations told Reuters.
The agreement, which makes use of Amazon Web Services’ artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities, follows a similar deal with the National Football League in November. Neither side disclosed financial details.
Amazon and MLB are hoping the new stats will give fans insights as they follow games on TV and online.
