Major League Baseball is in full swing and, with all the new Android users out there, we at AppStoreHQ thought it would be fun to look at the top baseball-related apps for the platform. There are almost 900 baseball-related apps available on Android today and, as a fan, it’s hard to know where to start. There are more baseball apps than Cy Young had complete games (749), more than home runs allowed by Jaime Moyer (511), even more than intentional walks received by Barry Bonds (686).
Our AppRank technology integrates media analysis, social network activity, and collaborative filtering to find high-quality, relevant apps for Android and iOS devices.
