SANFORD, Fla., May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Perfect Game, the world's largest youth baseball and softball platform and scouting service, has announced a multi-year partnership with Mine Baseball to make their product the official wood bat of Perfect Game.

"At Perfect Game, we are dedicated to partnering with the best and most innovative companies in the youth space to provide our athletes with the best possible resources," said Perfect Game CEO Rob Ponger. "With Mine Baseball's commitment to quality and excellence, we are confident that our players will have the tools they need to excel on the diamond."

"We are incredibly proud of this significant milestone for Mine Baseball to be named the official wood baseball bat of Perfect Game," said Pete O'Brien, CEO of Mine Baseball. "At Mine Baseball, we relentlessly pursue excellence in everything we do, from our products to customer relationships to service. Thanks to our partnership with Perfect Game, a much broader audience will discover what our raving fans already know: Mine Baseball bats are unparalleled in the market, offering unique benefits and superior performance. Simply put, they are the world's highest-quality and best-performing wood bats."

What sets Mine's bats apart from other wood bat companies is the utilization of European beechwood, a material superior to the commonly used prime grade maple and birch. European beechwood, which is approved for use by Major League Baseball, is both harder and more durable, significantly enhancing the lifespan and performance of Mine's bats. Independent lab tests confirm that Mine's beechwood bats require 8% more force to break compared to maple and birch counterparts, underlining their robustness. Each bat features a built-in soft touch grip on the handle, a notable innovation that reduces vibration, effectively enlarging the sweet spot. This unique attribute is immediately noticeable and highly valued by users and remains unmatched by competitors.

The partnership between Perfect Game and Mine Baseball underscores both organizations' shared commitment to enhancing the youth sports experience and supporting the development of young athletes.
