PERFECT GAME PARTNERS WITH MICHIGAN-BASED
BASEBALL ALL TRAVEL LEAGUE
Sanford, Florida (Wednesday, February 28, 2024) - Perfect Game, the world’s largest youth baseball and softball platform and scouting service, today announced a new partnership with Baseball All Travel League (BATL) out of Grand Rapids, Mich., which will see the two companies combine to present a streamlined approach to travel baseball events across the entire state of Michigan.
Initially, Perfect Game and BATL will jointly host 11 weekend events this year, the first of which is the 2024 PG BATL On the Bases, scheduled for the weekend of April 12-14 at Meijer Sports Complex in Rockford, Mich.
BATL is a non-profit organization established in 2018 to create an opportunity for West Michigan baseball teams to play against higher level competition in the area each week. Players at each age level compete against one another to help drive individual development and maximize their full potential.
BATL has traditionally run six to eight annual events in western Michigan with plans to exponentially increase that number through its partnership with Perfect Game. Together, the companies are eyeing significant growth to gain added exposure for amateur baseball players in the state of Michigan via showcases and all-state games.
Perfect Game is the world’s largest elite youth baseball and softball platform and scouting service, producing over 9,800+ events, hundreds of thousands of games, and showcases each year across the country. Perfect Game is dedicated to giving amateur players exposure to take their game to the next level, whether that be in college or in the professional ranks. At Perfect Game events, players are performing with top-level competition in front of college recruiters and professional scouts from all over the country. Because of this, these events prove to be invaluable to college coaches as well as Major League Baseball, as they can scout a large population of talented ballplayers in one location. To date, more than 2,034 players that have played in a Perfect Game event have also played in Major League Baseball. Since 2003, 14,466 Perfect Game alumni have been selected in the MLB First-Year Amateur Player Draft. In the 2023 Draft, for example, 95 percent of all players selected had played in Perfect Game events, and every player selected on the Draft’s first day had previously attended Perfect Game events.
