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.

PG Draft: Potential Risers Into Top 50

Michael Albee
Article Image
We are in the early stages of the 2027 cycle and there is still plenty of time for players to make significant jumps up the board. While our current Top-100 provides an early look at the class, several players just outside that group have the upside to make a run at becoming Top-50 pick by next July. With that in mind, each member of the draft team each selected one college player and one prep player they believe could make the jump into the Top-50 over the course of the spring. These are the names to keep an eye on as the 2027 draft picture continues to develop. Joey’s Picks:   Jake Cueto (27 FL) goes oppo πŸ’£ on a mid-90s LonL heater. Performing at a very high level, hitting .464 with 5 homers.

PG Wood Bat Fall Kickoff Scout Notes

Evan Thompson (‘29, AZ) showcasing the all-fields power with this ground rule double the other way. Immense power upside. Really fun offensive profile #FallKickoff https://t.co/l551KirUOf pic.twitter.com/QW0AIeg59g — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) September 7, 2026 Evan Thompson (2029, Gilbert, Ariz.) put on an offensive clinic throughout the weekend, going 8-for-13 with three extra-base hits. He capped off his MVP performance with a walkoff home run to take home the championship. Thompson is one of the premier players in the 2029 class. A fluid left-handed stroke consistently finds barrels. There is all fields power present that will only continue to develop further. It would not be a surprise if Thimpson ends up the top ranked player in the class when it is all said and done.  Chase Fillman (2028, Goodyear, Ariz.) put together a loud summer circuit and...

What Profiles Are Valued Most at Top of Draft

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
The landscape of the MLB Draft continues to evolve each and every year. What teams value at the top of the draft can change based on the strength of a particular class, shifts in player development philosophy, and, perhaps most importantly, the way organizations evaluate risk and upside. Some trends are subtle, while others become impossible to ignore when viewed across multiple years. For this study, I set out to answer one question: What player profiles do teams value at the top of the draft? To answer it, I analyzed the Top-100 picks from each of the last six drafts (2021-2026). That gives us 600 total selections to examine and provides a large enough sample to identify both the profiles that have remained consistently popular and those that have gained or lost significant ground. The data was broken down by position, handedness and level to create individual player profiles. While...

2027 Draft: Way Too Early 1:1 Predictions

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
2027 Top 100 Draft Board  Current Favorite: SS Dylan Seward, Norco HS (Calif.) In our first iteration of the 2027 Draft Board, Norco shortstop Dylan Seward ranks No. 1 overall. The switch-hitter is an ultra-twitchy player with a lot to like on both sides of the ball. He is a supreme athlete that should stick up the middle. Explosiveness is shown in all aspects of his game and gives the profiles big time upside.  In the event that Seward does not go 1:1, each member of our draft team selected a player that they think could wind up in that spot. We are still nearly a full year away from draft day, but here are our “Way Too Early” predictions for the 1st overall pick next July.  Henni’s Pick: C/UTL Gavin Kelly, West Virginia    Gavin Kelly (@WVUBaseball) sends this over the wall in CF for a solo πŸ’£ (100 EV/ 416 ft).
