Perfect Game Partners with Re-Play Athletics to Offer
State-of-the-Art, Scientific Training and Development App

Targets youth athletes to focus and accelerate their
development and help them reach for their goals

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – What do mobile apps, bots and artificial intelligence have to do with youth athlete training and development? According to Jerry Ford, founder and President of Perfect Game USA™, the largest and most successful baseball scouting organization…everything. 

Perfect Game today announced a new partnership with technology provider Re-Play Athletics to bring cutting-edge training technology to the masses, designed to help youth athletes train smarter to help them realize their goals. The new mobile app and synchronized web platform, called “Perfect Game Development, powered by Re-Play™”, is available for both Apple and all Android devices. Due to the foundational impact they can have, Perfect Game bills these revolutionary new tools as the athlete’s “best step to the next level”. They are designed to quickly assess each athlete’s individual skills using their personal and performance data, define key development areas, and using Re-Play’s patent pending technology, along with Perfect Game’s best practices content, serve up personalized daily training programs, containing video exercises, that focus and accelerate their personal development.

“From the day we started Perfect Game over 20 years ago, our goal was simply to help athletes attain their goals. And even though we run hundreds of showcase and tournament events around the country each year, and hundreds of thousands of athletes get the direct benefit of being assessed and working with our professional coaches, these new tools give us the expanded ability to influence any athlete, anywhere, every day. And our unique approach addresses all facets of being a successful athlete – it’s like working with your own team of highly trained and experienced professional coaches, trainers, sports therapist, nutritionist and more. These new tools effectively size up the athlete’s individual needs and show them what they must do to quickly improve and earn play at the next level. We like to say that the app helps users become tomorrow’s athletes today.”

Touting it provides “instant everything”, the app builds a continuously updating, personalized training and development plan unique to the athlete, filters their training activity to address other events on their calendar, provides a customized nutrition and hydration plan based on upcoming activity, captures key accomplishments such as academic, awards, and community service, tracks injuries and factors them into the athlete’s recovery and much more. “It is a complete package that meets the needs of today’s highly competitive athletes that seek to make it to the next level,” added Brad Clement, CEO of Perfect Game. “Once on our platform, Athletes can easily share their progress with coaches, scouts, administrators or anyone who has influence in them playing at the next level. The data is added to their Perfect Game profile too. It is a great way for an athlete to provide a foundation of who they are as a student and athlete, to differentiate themselves, and to capture the interest of influencers, regardless if the next level they are seeking is earning a spot on a more competitive team, playing in high school, receiving a college scholarship or beyond.”

“We are thrilled to have Perfect Game partner with us to get this new technology in the hands of their athletes,” said Alan Discount, founder of Re-Play. “Perfect Game has a long-standing, proven reputation for helping athletes achieve their goals. 1,300+ MLB Players, over 12,000 MLB Draft Picks, and tens of thousands of College Commits have attended Perfect Game events. Perfect Game’s impact on the industry, and more importantly the players, has been staggering.”

Discount went on to explain how the technology works – “We know that working with youth athletes meant we had to develop an interface and delivery mechanism they would relate to and thrive using. Our mobile app starts with texting-based interaction between the athlete and a handful of known industry experts presented as bots, to assess the athlete’s personal characteristics. We can also link with data from the Perfect Game database and devices such as sensors, wearables, other apps and more to integrate the athlete’s recent performance data. Our platform then goes through a complex set of calculations and analysis behind the scenes (which only takes milliseconds) and compares the results to national benchmarks or other athletes that have the same profile as the user. This allows us to assess the development areas or gaps in their abilities, as well as cues us in to any warning areas that might be present from a safety perspective. These development areas are matched using our proprietary, scientific algorithms to customized exercise activity that focuses the athlete’s daily training, and more rapidly develops their skills and abilities. The athlete simply clicks through the videos presented in their unique training plan for the day and completes them.” Discount continued, “It all sounds very complex, but all the user needs to know is if they complete our personalized training recommendations, as presented, they will become a better athlete more quickly (and safely). And as the app gets to know the athlete our AI (Artificial Intelligence) kicks in to further customize their experience.”

The content for each of the training exercises was developed by a world-class team of coaches and trainers, led by Kevin Barr, strength and conditioning coach for the Miami Marlins, who has also worked with the Kansas City Royals, Cincinnati Reds, Tampa Bay Rays, and Los Angeles Dodgers in the past. Kevin commented, “We have been working for the last 3 years to compile the largest repository of development content in the world.

Our biggest challenge up until now has been how we connect that content to athletes on a personal level. Now with Perfect Game Development, powered by Re-Play™ we have solved that problem. Through the power of this technology, as an athlete’s personal needs are assessed the system automatically presents the right training to the athlete at the right time. We are very excited to be a part of this project and look forward to seeing the impact our efforts have in helping athletes advance their skills on a one-to-one basis.”

“Even though we have been at this for decades, we still feel like our business is in its infancy,” said Clement. “While our core showcase and tournament businesses have helped a large number of athletes make it to the next level, we believe these new tools will greatly improve our ability to reach and help an even larger number of athletes. And that is why we do what we do in the first place.”

“And by using technology, we can also expand the market to a broader age range and remove geographic barriers,” added Carlos Iriarte, Re-Play Co-Founder. “Our app can be a very powerful development tool for any player ages 7-17 and up, playing at any level, and any position. Regardless of where they are in their development process, we know we can make them a better and more engaged athlete.”

The new tools are available on the Perfect Game website located at www.perfectgame.org/development and through the App Store andGoogle Play. The app is a free download and the ongoing service is offered as a low-cost monthly subscription. The service does not require any long-term commitments and can be cancelled at any time. Athletes that cannot afford the service may qualify for free use of the tools as well.

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 66

  The Number That Just Killed MLB Expansion: 1,217   USA Today's Bob Nightengale dropped a bomb shell recently that the baseball world is still digesting. Major League Baseball wants to expand to 32 teams. Team executives are quietly opposing it and the reason has nothing to do with cities or money.   They cannot find enough healthy pitchers.   Between 2020 and 2024, professional baseball performed 1,026 Tommy John surgeries at the minor-league level alone. Another 191 at the Major League level. More than twelve hundred elbow reconstructions in five years on the best young pitchers in the world.   That is not bad luck. That is a system reporting a verdict on itself.   For fifteen years, the youth-baseball industry has chased one number: velocity significantly more than projectability and arm care.    Recruiters scout by it.    Social...

Cape Cod League Notebook: July 24

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Luke Costello | INF | South Carolina | Bourne Braves  Costello brings one of the cleaner offensive operations in the Cape, featuring a simple, direct swing that allows him to consistently get the barrel out front and do damage. He minimizes unnecessary movement, stays on time, and shows the strength to impact the baseball with authority. After a very productive spring hitting .302 with 17 home runs during his sophomore season at Wake Forest, Costello heads to South Carolina as an established middle-of-the-order bat. His combination of present power, offensive consistency, and polished approach should translate well against SEC pitching.     A look at Terry Hayes Jr (@OleMissBSB) lived 92-94 on the FB showed a CT at 88-90, SL at 82-84 and a really good CB at 78-81. @ChathamAnglers So./‘26 elig pic.twitter.com/vbsYWF2IcY — PG College Baseball (@PGCollegeBall)...

Battle For The Midwest Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Gavin Johnson (2029, De Pere, Wisc.) handled the bat pretty well this weekend for his CBT Wolfpack 15u team that made a run into bracket play. Johnson is a left-handed hitting first baseman with a physical 6-foot-1, 200-pound frame, showing good physicality throughout the build. It’s a clean stroke from the left side, with feel to deliver the barrel on time and drive the ball working pull-side. He has a feel to rotate well, loading deep with the hands & turning well through contact to impact the baseball out in front. Johnson tallied four hits on the weekend, including 2 doubles and a triple. He plated 3 runs as well.   Devon Hester (2029, Chicago, Ill.) had a heck of a weekend for Chicago White Sox Ace 2029 Hunt. He showed out on both sides of the ball this past weekend, really getting it done at the plate. He finished the weekend 7-for-15, with a double and 4 RBI to...

Easton Vandyke (’27 RHP, RISE 2027/2028, VA) opened Day 4 by running his fastball up to 84 mph, showing consistent strike-throwing ability throughout the outing. The 6-foot-1, 160-pound right-hander paired the fastball with a low-70s curveball and a 75 mph changeup that he consistently kept at the bottom of the zone.
