SportsBoard
and Perfect Game Partner to
Offer Revolutionary PG Mobile Scouting
App
Baseball
college coaches and pro scouts can now assess players more
efficiently than ever before at all Perfect Game events. Perfect Game
Mobile Scout, powered by SportsBoard, represents a ground-breaking
new partnership making SportsBoard the Official Mobile Scouting
Platform for Perfect Game, the world’s largest and most respected
baseball scouting service.
Together,
Perfect Game and SportsBoard are committed to enhancing the
development and careers of the most talented amateur baseball
players in the country. Perfect Game’s dynamic partnership with
SportsBoard will result in a Perfect Game Mobile App that will allow
college coaches and professional scouts to record all of their
assessments about players on an iPad or iPhone.
“We
are thrilled that this new partnership with Perfect Game will help
coaches and scouts digitize their recruiting process,” said Gregg
Jacobs, CEO and founder of SportsBoard. “All the player data they
need at showcases or tournaments is now right at their fingertips on
their iPad or iPhone.”
The
Perfect Game Mobile Scout will serve the important purpose of
streamlining access to PG’s valuable scouting player data in a
mobile environment, while also enabling coaches and scouts to assess
players using skills ratings, text notes, video clips and voice
memos. Moving forward, all coaches and professional scouts at Perfect
Game events held throughout 2015 will be able to use the Perfect Game
Mobile Scout App to capture this data instead of the printed packets.
“We
know from our experience recently in Jupiter at the WWBA World
Championships that coaches and MLB scouts were elated to be able to
move away from all the paper and operate more efficiently than
ever,” stated Jerry Ford, President of Perfect Game. “Our staff
also used SportsBoard in Jupiter and they were very impressed with
the video ability as well as the amount of information they could
compile on players with much less effort.”
With
over 100,000 amateur players in its database, PG operates the largest
baseball scouting database in the world. Perfect Game holds more
than 100 events each year in all parts of the United States.
PG’s
All American Classic Showcase in San Diego is their premier event
with participants achieving unprecedented success. Nearly every
player enters the MLB draft and/or signs with the top college
programs in the country, including 149 1st round draft picks in just
11 years.
Perfect
Game events have proven invaluable to the college coaching community
and Major League baseball, enabling scouts the opportunity to view a
large population of talented players all in one location. Results
from Perfect Game events are reported to all 30 Major League scouting
departments and to more than 1,500 college baseball programs.
SportsBoard
and Perfect Game will kick off this groundbreaking partnership Jan.
2-5 at the American Baseball Coaches Association Convention (ABCA) in
Orlando, Fla., where they will be sharing an exhibitor booth at the
World Center Marriott.
