“Adidas has a rich tradition in sports and a ton of momentum right now and we just knew that Adidas was the right brand to partner with,” said Sean Duncan, executive director of Prep Baseball Report. “The power of both brands allows us to accelerate the future of baseball and improve the opportunities for the game’s next generation of kids.”
The agreement begins on March 1, 2017 and will run through the February 28, 2022. The partnership creates a platform to provide kids visibility to high school, college and pro teams across a national footprint.
Since its inception in 2005, the Prep Baseball Report has evolved into one of the country’s biggest and most respected independent scouting services, with a singular focus of providing comprehensive year-round coverage in every state they are in. The mission of the Prep Baseball Report is to scout and promote high school baseball and, ultimately, help prep athletes achieve their dreams of playing baseball at the next level.
“Our mission is to help athletes perform better, and Adidas and the Prep Baseball Report have a shared vision for the future of baseball,” said Aaron Kahn, senior director, Adidas Baseball. “Over the next five years we’ll bring our creativity, our collaborative efforts, and our best and most innovative and products to this partnership to provide kids with best opportunity and equipment they need for elite performance.”
As part of the partnership, Adidas will provide thousands of kids with Adidas footwear, apparel and equipment for events, showcases and tournaments and will collaborate with the Prep Baseball Report to further elevate the profile of Prep Baseball Report events. Additionally, the Prep Baseball Report will receive Adidas’ product and marketing expertise, and the two will collaborate on marketing opportunities and the development and enhancement of youth baseball.
