“Baseball Youth, and its comprehensive access and connections with elite baseball players and their families across the country, will be a great partner as MiLB continues to engage, connect and attract new fans to our 160 teams,” said Kurt Hunzeker, Minor League Baseball’s vice president of marketing strategy and research. “Some of the players who play in Baseball Youth-produced showcase events and subscribe to Baseball Youth’s impressive media portfolio will one day play in MiLB ballparks, so building stronger, long-lasting relationships now with these influential, next-level players, their coaches, friends and family aligns perfectly with MiLB’s long-term strategy and continued leadership role growing the game of baseball.”
Through its various publications and media platforms, Baseball Youth will highlight MiLB’s unique brands and on-field uniforms, including the new “Copa de la Diversión season-long event series this season, as well as family-fun ballpark experiences, delicious concession items, and entertainment unique to MiLB that resonates with the next-generation consumer.

The partnership will also provide an opportunity to amplify the youth development initiatives and kids’ clubs already in place throughout Minor League Baseball’s 160 markets, by providing access to Baseball Youth’s industry-leading content and community.
