Major League Baseball is launching a new feature called Scout Insights in its Gameday app, which uses AI and cloud technology to provide fans with real-time, contextual commentary and analysis during live games. Built with Google's Gemini models, Scout Insights scans MLB's historical data and game scenarios to deliver relevant, insightful tidbits that deepen fans' connection to the action on the field.
Why it matters
As one of the most data-rich and tradition-bound sports, baseball fans are some of the most sophisticated and engaged. Scout Insights aims to democratize expert-level knowledge and commentary, giving every fan the ability to feel like the smartest person in the stands, at the water cooler, or on the couch.
The details
To develop Scout Insights, the MLB team had to solve several technical challenges, including helping the AI understand which insights would be truly interesting to fans versus just accurate facts. They settled on a 'surprisal' ranking system to identify the most compelling and unexpected commentary. The team also had to ensure Scout Insights could deliver insights in real-time without adding any latency to the Gameday app's live play-by-play experience.
