SANFORD, Fla., Jan. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Perfect Game, the world’s largest youth baseball and softball platform and scouting service, today announced a partnership with Soldier Sports to make the Solider TANK bat the official aluminum and composite bat of Perfect Game.
As part of the agreement, Soldier Sports will have an exclusive presence at nearly all of Perfect Game’s 9,500+ annual events, including Perfect Game’s annual All-Star Game which features baseball’s future stars.
“At Perfect Game, we pride ourselves on being a forward-thinking company that is always looking to help our athletes improve in any way possible,” said Perfect Game CEO Rob Ponger. “With Soldier Sports, we found a partner that doesn’t settle for their products being anything less than the best and the Solider TANK bat exemplifies their commitment to excellence.”
“Perfect Game has an amazing platform to tell the world about the Soldier TANK bat,” said Jeff Evans, founder and CEO of Soldier Sports. “We set out to create the perfect baseball bat and took our time developing what we believe to be the best bat on the market. With Perfect Game as a trusted partner of Soldier Sports, we look forward to providing MLB’s next generation with the best tools possible.”
The 2024 TANK BBCOR bat launched last summer at DICKS Sporting Goods across the U.S.. The TANK made an immediate impact on the baseball world with Soldier Sports selling out their supply in just five months. Since then, Soldier Sports has been working on the 2025 version, which will have an even wider and longer sweet spot and will have a much lighter swing weight than the previous model. The 2025 TANK BBCOR will be released on February 1, 2024 and available thereafter at retail stores throughout the U.S and at www.soldiersports.us prior to the release of the Youth TANK, which will make its debut later this spring.
