New York Mets reject concerns over in-game AI use after Ottavino claims

TL;DR

Green says Mets follow all MLB AI guidelines Ottavino alleges club used AI for pitch decisions MLB recently restricted dugout iPad functions New York Mets interim manager Andy Green said the club is fully compliant with Major League Baseball when asked about a report that singled out his organization for using artificial intelligence for in-game strategy decisions. “Whatever the rules are, we remain fully compliant and Major League Baseball makes those determinations,” Green said before Saturday’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Nauti's Take

The real lesson for teams using operational AI is governance and audit trails. If a decision can later look like live coaching, you need hard boundaries you can prove: what data entered the system, when it entered, who saw the output, and whether recommendations were prep work or live guidance.

Here the evidence is still thin because the core claim rests against the club's own compliance statement.
