Max Muncy of the Dodgers discussed how AI is increasingly being used in baseball during an appearance on Foul Territory. Teams are using AI to analyze pitch patterns and player movements, such as glove positioning and hand placement for coaches at first and third base. While the Dodgers aren't currently implementing AI themselves, the potential for its use became apparent during a playoff game where the Brewers might have used AI to identify a pitcher's breaking ball, leading to a strategic advantage that could tip postseason games.

Story summary
In a recent appearance on Foul Territory, Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy discussed how teams around Major League Baseball are increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI). While the Dodgers themselves aren't currently implementing AI strategies, Muncy acknowledged that it is becoming more prevalent. He explained that AI programs can analyze pitch patterns and suggest optimal defensive positions for players.
During the National League Championship Series starting Sunday against the Brewers, there was a notable incident in Game 2 of the NLDS where Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick tipped off Padres pitcher Mason Miller’s breaking ball by tapping his neck at second base. This led to Jackson Chourio laying off a slider, causing Miller to blow the save and potentially affecting the outcome of the game. Whether the Brewers used AI to deduce Miller's pitch pattern remains unclear but is highly speculated given recent trends in baseball analytics.
