SANFORD, Fla., July 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Perfect Game, the world’s largest youth baseball and softball platform and scouting service, today announced a partnership with Pelotero, the first player intelligence platform that combines data, coaching expertise and AI to help coaches deliver personalized development in real time, revolutionizing the way athletes prepare for competition.
Pelotero will have on-site activations at Perfect Game events around the country to allow its members to customize their hitting workouts and get real-time feedback that they can track through Pelotero’s platform. Over 7,500 players attending Perfect Game showcases and prospect gateway events will receive a Pelotero hitting potential score, a detailed swing analysis and access to a personalized development plan based on the data and metrics collected at the event.
“As Perfect Game continues to make state-of-the-art technology available to its athletes to enhance their game, we are thrilled to team with Pelotero,” said Perfect Game CEO Rob Ponger. “Leveraging Pelotero’s platform, Perfect Game’s athletes will be able to work on their hitting approach from showcase to showcase and have their data flow directly into their Perfect Game profile to allow major league scouts and college recruiters to get the most up-to-the-minute data.”
“Players need to be told what they are good at, what they are not and what they need to work on,” said Pelotero Co-Founder and former MLB player Chris Colabello. “They need to be given a personalized plan to help them get to where they want to be. That’s how players get better. That’s how they maximized their potential. That’s how they become great.”
This partnership highlights Perfect Game’s continued commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance the experience for the athletes competing in Perfect Game events.
