SANFORD,
Fla., May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Perfect Game,
the world's largest youth baseball and softball platform and
scouting service, has announced a multi-year partnership with Mine
Baseball to make their product the official wood bat of Perfect
Game.
Under the terms of the partnership, Mine Baseball will have a
presence at nearly all of Perfect Game's annual events where wood
bats are used, including tournaments, showcases and select special
events. Additionally, Mine will have on-site activations at Perfect
Game events around the country.
"At Perfect Game, we are dedicated to partnering with the best
and most innovative companies in the youth space to provide our
athletes with the best possible resources," said Perfect Game CEO
Rob Ponger. "With Mine Baseball's
commitment to quality and excellence, we are confident that our
players will have the tools they need to excel on the diamond."
"We are incredibly proud of this significant milestone for Mine
Baseball to be named the official wood baseball bat of Perfect
Game," said Pete O'Brien, CEO of
Mine Baseball. "At Mine Baseball, we relentlessly pursue excellence
in everything we do, from our products to customer
relationships to service. Thanks to our partnership with Perfect
Game, a much broader audience will discover what our raving fans
already know: Mine Baseball bats are unparalleled in the market,
offering unique benefits and superior performance. Simply put, they
are the world's highest-quality and best-performing wood bats."
What sets Mine's bats apart from other wood bat companies is the
utilization of European beechwood, a material superior to the
commonly used prime grade maple and birch. European beechwood,
which is approved for use by Major League Baseball, is both harder
and more durable, significantly enhancing the lifespan and
performance of Mine's bats. Independent lab tests confirm that
Mine's beechwood bats require 8% more force to break compared to
maple and birch counterparts, underlining their robustness. Each
bat features a built-in soft touch grip on the handle, a notable
innovation that reduces vibration, effectively enlarging the sweet
spot. This unique attribute is immediately noticeable and highly
valued by users and remains unmatched by competitors.
The partnership between Perfect Game and Mine Baseball
underscores both organizations' shared commitment to enhancing the
youth sports experience and supporting the development of young
athletes.
