Diamond Recap
A morning-after baseball app that turns last night's box score into a 90-second narrative recap focused on the three plays that actually swung the game.
Busy baseball fans who missed the game and want the gist before the office
- AI-written recap that identifies the turning-point at-bat and the costliest error, with timestamps
- 'Locker-room quotes' pulled from post-game interviews and translated into a 2-minute listen
- Team-specific feeds so your Dodgers (or Mariners) recaps show up first every morning
- Weekly injury and lineup-change digest for the teams you follow
MLB game windows keep drifting later for working fans, and classic box-score apps don't tell you why the game mattered.
MLB.TV minutes streamed jumped +34% YoY in 2025 and FOX averaged 2.04M viewers (+9%), signaling strong catch-up demand; however, evidence is for video-on-demand broadly, not specifically for morning-after text recaps.MLB Reveals 71,409,421 Fans In 2025: Why TV Ratings And Youth Uptick Matter ↗MLB Network Continues Trend Of MLB Viewership Increases In 2025 - Forbes ↗
MLB itself launched 'My Daily Story' — an AI-powered personalized video recap feature on the official MLB app (built with Google Cloud, May 2025) — a direct competitor from the league; plus the App Store lists 171+ baseball score apps and 194+ stats tracking apps, so the space is crowded.MLB uses AI to create personalised daily video recaps for fans ↗MLB's AI-powered greatest hits are in My Daily Story - Google Cloud ↗171+ Best Baseball Score Apps for iPhone (2026) ↗
Web search for baseball-recap-app willingness-to-pay returned no direct evidence; fans already pay for MLB.TV, ESPN+, and team-specific subscriptions, leaving thin room for a third-party text-recap subscription.MLB Reveals 71,409,421 Fans In 2025: Why TV Ratings And Youth Uptick Matter ↗
MLB posted its third straight year of attendance growth (71.4M) and broad 2025 viewership gains — a positive near-term tailwind — but baseball's aging-fanbase narrative and shifting media habits create medium-term risk.Press release: MLB attendance reaches 71.4 million; three straight years of growth ↗Why MLB viewership is in decline - The Chaparral ↗
Trivial to build: MLB Stats API + publicly available WPA (Win Probability Added) data from Baseball Savant already identify the three swing plays, and current LLMs can render a 90-second narrative from structured box-score data.iScore Baseball | Features ↗
