Mets Say Fully Compliant on AI After Report

New York Mets interim manager Andy Green declared the club fully compliant with Major League Baseball after a report highlighted the team's use of artificial intelligence for in‑game strategy. “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.

Former Mets reliever Adam Ottavino claimed on his YouTube livestream that the Mets had been using AI, citing spending by owner Steve Cohen on the software. Ottavino, who pitched for the Mets from 2022 to 2024, said the team’s AI program helped pick pitches and other decisions early in the season.

MLB has restricted iPad usage in dugouts, disabling custom tabs that let teams access third‑party programs. The tablets still provide video and league‑provided data, but the custom tabs were made inaccessible to teams on the second half of the season.

Green reiterated that the Mets remain compliant with everything MLB asks, and he had no strong opinion on the iPad restriction issue.
