SANFORD,
Fla., July 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Perfect
Game, the world's largest youth baseball and softball platform and
scouting service, today announced a partnership with Pelotero, the
first player intelligence platform that combines data, coaching
expertise and AI to help coaches deliver personalized development
in real time, revolutionizing the way athletes prepare for
competition.
Pelotero will have on-site activations at Perfect Game events
around the country to allow its members to customize their hitting
workouts and get real-time feedback that they can track through
Pelotero's platform. Over 7,500 players attending Perfect Game
showcases and prospect gateway events will receive a Pelotero
hitting potential score, a detailed swing analysis and access to a
personalized development plan based on the data and metrics
collected at the event.
"As Perfect Game continues to make state-of-the-art technology
available to its athletes to enhance their game, we are thrilled to
team with Pelotero," said Perfect Game CEO Rob Ponger. "Leveraging Pelotero's platform,
Perfect Game's athletes will be able to work on their hitting
approach from showcase to showcase and have their data flow
directly into their Perfect Game profile to allow major league
scouts and college recruiters to get the most up-to-the-minute
data."
"Players need to be told what they are good at, what they are
not and what they need to work on," said Pelotero Co-Founder and
former MLB player Chris Colabello.
"They need to be given a personalized plan to help them get to
where they want to be. That's how players get better. That's how
they maximized their potential. That's how they become great."
This partnership highlights Perfect Game's continued commitment
to leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance the experience for
the athletes competing in Perfect Game events.
