PERFECT GAME ENTERS FORTNITE WITH “PERFECT PILLARS”

First-of-Its-Kind Baseball-Themed Experience is Built in Unreal Editor

Sanford, Florida (Thursday, November 13, 2025) - Perfect Game, the world’s largest youth baseball and softball platform and scouting service, today announced its arrival into the Fortnite universe with the launch of Perfect Pillars, a custom baseball-themed map built in Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), designed by Tarantula Creative Studio.

Perfect Pillars merges competition, teamwork and digital creativity, offering an entirely new way for young athletes and fans to engage with the spirit of the game. The interactive experience also marks the debut of Soldier Sports’ new Designer Tank Bat, which is featured throughout gameplay, blending real-world performance with digital play in a groundbreaking collaboration between the two brands.

The initiative represents the first-ever collaboration between a leading amateur baseball organization and Fortnite’s creator ecosystem, highlighting the ways in which sports and gaming can come together to connect Gen Z athletes.

“Perfect Game has always been about growing the game and meeting young players where they are,” said Perfect Game CEO Rob Ponger. “With Perfect Pillars, we’re merging baseball’s competitive energy with one of the most creative digital spaces in the world. It’s an entirely new way to experience the game we love, and we’re thrilled to partner with Soldier Sports to make it happen.”

“Our new Double Wall Designer TANK 3 Bat was completely re-built for power, performance and individuality, the same qualities that shine through in Fortnite’s creator community,” said Jeff Evans, Founder and CEO of Soldier Sports. “Bringing it to life inside Perfect Pillars is the perfect way to connect with the next generation of athletes and show that the line between physical and digital performance is closer than ever.”

Perfect Pillars offers players a fast-paced, team-based environment inspired by baseball fundamentals with challenges and objectives designed around precision, timing and teamwork. The immersive map showcases Soldier Sports’ signature design aesthetic while giving players a glimpse of how real-world sports innovation can thrive in virtual worlds. The Perfect Pillars map is available now inside Fortnite.

About Soldier Sports

What started as a backyard project has become a story of relentless determination, innovation, and family collaboration. Jeff and Tanner Evans, a father-son team, from Omaha, Nebraska, have revolutionized the baseball world with their creation of the TANK baseball bat. Tanner and Jeff spent nearly three years working tirelessly in the evenings to perfect the bat, undergoing 27 design iterations. Alongside three expert bat engineers, they developed a proprietary “7312” Trampoline Metal Blend, creating a bat that delivers unmatched power while maintaining an incredibly light swing. The Name Behind the TANK: Tanner's childhood nickname, "Tank."  The Soldier TANK is now The Official Metal Bat of Perfect Game.

A Growing Legacy Building on the success of the TANK, Jeff and Tanner last year launched a USSSA bat for youth players. In a groundbreaking moment, The @baseballbatbros ranked the bat as the #1 USSSA bat on the market, marking another milestone for Soldier Sports. Soldier Sport is now one of if not the fastest-growing baseball brands in the world & is disrupting the industry, challenging established baseball giants, and is poised to lead the market with innovative new bat designs in 2026. www.soldiersports.us / IG: @soldiersports.us
