6 Technological Advances That Are Changing Major League Baseball

When it comes to trendsetting technological advancements, no sport does it better than Major League Baseball.

Much of the credit for the sport's tech savvy approach goes to the vision of commissioner Rob Manfred. The boss of baseball fully grasps just how critical embracing technology is to the long term health of the game.

"I think that the next big question for us, is how we make sure that baseball is passed on to the next generation," Manfred said, per R.J. Anderson of CBS Sports. "I think that technology issues ... are a huge part of that. We're making very extensive efforts to use technology."

From the introduction of virtual reality goggles to the rise of the burgeoning MLB Advanced Media empire, these tech initiatives have not only made baseball far more accessible for fans but have also fundamentally changed the landscape of the sport.
