PERFECT GAME PARTNERS WITH VIVENU TO POWER DIGITAL COMMERCE ACROSS YOUTH BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL 

Sanford, Florida / New York, New York (Friday, April 10, 2026) - Perfect Game, the world’s largest youth baseball and softball platform and scouting service, has selected vivenu as its ticketing and commerce partner to unify revenue operations across its tournament ecosystem. 

With 1.6 million tickets sold annually, 9,800 events in 40+ states and an immense social footprint, Perfect Game has built the most influential pipeline in amateur baseball. The organization has produced over 2,200 MLB alumni, and 95 percent of all MLB draft picks have come through its system. Now, it is building the commercial infrastructure to match that scale. 

The partnership centers on capturing revenue at every touchpoint of the tournament journey. vivenu will power Perfect Game's shift to a fully digital commerce platform. 

For the fans: tickets, merchandise, access, one checkout. vivenu brings it into a single, mobile-friendly flow. For Perfect Game, every transaction adds to a clearer picture of who their audience is. That data becomes a commercial asset, creating targeted sponsorship opportunities for brands that want direct access to the players and families driving amateur baseball. 

Longer-term, registration, travel packages, and subscriptions will move through the same platform. For an organization running close to 10,000 events a year, consolidating those revenue streams under one system changes what's commercially possible.

Rob Ponger, CEO of Perfect Game puts it like this: “Perfect Game has always been focused on delivering the best possible experience for our players, families and partners, and this partnership with vivenu is a major step forward in how we support that mission. By bringing our ticketing and broader commerce operations into one streamlined, digital platform, we’re not only making things easier and more convenient for our audience, but also unlocking new opportunities to better understand and engage with them. As we continue to grow, having a scalable, data-driven solution like vivenu in place will be critical to maximizing the value of every event across our entire ecosystem.” 

"Perfect Game is in a category of its own," said Travis Smith, Regional Vice President for Sports and College Partnerships at vivenu. "The organization has shaped professional baseball for decades. The fan relationships and athlete data built across nearly 10,000 annual events are a genuine business asset. Our job is to give them the infrastructure to capture more of the value they already create, starting with ticketing and expanding across the full commercial picture."
