MLB Clutch ⚾️ - Hack Reddit 2025

Inspiration

The real inspiration behind creating this application is a deep love for baseball and the lack of a solution that makes following MLB matches more fun and thrilling.

What it does

The sole purpose of the application is to engage MLB fans, and it does so by providing real-time match updates. Additionally, users can earn streak points by showcasing their MLB knowledge. These streak points allow users to climb to the top of the leaderboard.

How we built it

The application is built using Reddit's Devvit platform. It also integrates a third-party, publicly available API from the MLB. For the frontend, React, Framer Motion, and TailwindCSS were used throughout the application. Additionally, we used GenAI APIs from OpenAI.

Challenges we ran into

Below are a few challenges I ran into and the steps taken to overcome them:

• Firstly, communicating with the Devvit application from the webview was challenging. Since it was my first time working with webviews, referring to the official documentation was very helpful.
• Secondly, ensuring that the quiz questions were dynamically generated. This was achieved by integrating OpenAI into the application.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• I’m very happy that I was able to create something that I wanted and that people around me enjoy.
• I'm also proud of designing a decent UI/UX for the end users, which made the overall experience more engaging.

What we learned

• Learning about webviews and understanding how powerful they are was the biggest takeaway.
• I learned about Reddit's Devvit platform and its ability to create advanced, complex designs using simple blocks.

What's next for MLB Clutch ⚾️

• To begin with, I plan to integrate friendly betting, where users can bet their earned streak points on a team.
• Additionally, I’ll be adding a live polling feature where users can vote for their favorite teams.
