[PR Newswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/perfect-game-announces-media-rights-partnership-with-minority-prospects-302926421.html) carried the announcement. Minority Prospects, founded in 2020 and based in Atlanta, describes itself as the largest platform in the world for minority baseball and softball prospects.\n\n## How the Minority Prospects Broadcast Deal Works\n\nUnder the agreement, Minority Prospects will broadcast select [Perfect Game Baseball Softball](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0053dex/perfect-game-baseball-softball) events across all of its social media platforms, including Minority Prospects TV, its YouTube channel and its Instagram account. The two organizations will collaborate on content and cross-promotion. The partnership began last month at the WWBA World Championship in Jupiter, Florida, where Minority Prospects produced content featuring top amateur players in front of college coaches, professional scouts and MLB legends.\n\nPerfect Game CEO Rob Ponger said the fit was about shared goals. \"Their mission of creating opportunity and exposure for minority players lines up with what we believe in at Perfect Game,\" he said. Alexander Wyche, CEO and founder of Minority Prospects, said the partnership advances the platform he started in 2020: \"Together, we can expand opportunities, increase exposure and help ensure that talent, not access, determines a young athlete's future.\"\n\nMinority Prospects counts 147 MLB Draft picks among its alumni, and its players have earned over 2,000 college baseball and softball scholarships. Its free youth clinics have served more than 95,000 participants. Its national event calendar includes the HBCU All-Star Games, the MBP All-American Game presented by Adidas, the MBP Collegiate League and the MBP Junior World Series.\n\n## Perfect Game's Event and Scouting Footprint\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Perfect Game expanded its regional event footprint for all age divisions from 7U through 18U in 2026, adding new National and Regional Championship events and a broader showcase slate. The same records list EventConnect as providing travel and lodging services for Perfect Game events, the Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Sports Commission as a destination partner hosting events, and UmpNation as the umpiring services partner for its tournaments.\n\n## Earlier 2026 Perfect Game Partnerships\n\nPerfect Game's two prior creator-native media rights deals this year were with Youth Prospects in April and Doubted Athletes in June, according to the announcement. In July 2026, Student Athlete Score announced a technology partnership with Perfect Game bringing athlete marketing intelligence tools to youth baseball and softball players for the first time, [Youth Sports Business Report](https://akta.pro/news-signals) reported. That same month, Perfect Game named ShiverSticks the Official Popsicle of Perfect Game, Yahoo reported.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
