When brands are disruptors in the space like Rapsodo Sports (Rapsodo, Inc.) with their campaign targeting Baseball Fans at the Major League Baseball (MLB) All Star Game and MLB Draft you have to applaud them for their creativity and use of QR Codes to encourage engagement. Of course it helps when you have the most famous player in the World, Shohei Ohtani, on a wall! And with all the buzz around NIL these days this is a great usage of projected Top 10 picks in the campaign! Selfish plug here, it was incredible collaborating with a fellow Illinois State University Alum in Matthew Fowles to produce this amazing campaign! #mlballstargame #sportsbusiness #advertising

Congratulations to Rapsodo Ambassador, Ewen Ferguson, on winning the 2024 BMW International Open, his 3rd win on the DP World Tour! #PlayWithoutLimits

As the Official Player Development Partner of USA Baseball and MLB's Prospect Development Pipeline, Rapsodo's PRO 3.0 unit gets a front row seat to all the action at the MLB Combine.   PRO 3.0 collected data during the on-field pitching and hitting sessions, providing MLB clubs, scouts, and coaches with real-time analytics of the MLB prospects' performances.   We studied the data captured from over 300 prospects during the week at Chase Field and identified some names that helped their draft stocks.   Here's a look at those standout performers as well as our leaderboards for hardest hits, fastest pitches, longest home runs, and highest pitch spin rates.

Earlier this year, we sat down with our NIL athlete, Blake Burke of Tennessee, to hear about his journey in the game. What stood out the most was Blake's demeanor both on and off the field. He embodies the relentless spirit of a champion. After winning the College World Series, Burke proved what we already knew: He is a TRUE champion. Congratulations to our #RapsodoSquad athlete on winning on the biggest stage of college baseball. Next stop: MLB Draft. #PlayOn #PlayWithoutLimits https://lnkd.in/gUkpaANs

"After an offseason of working with Rapsodo via NIL partnership, Honeycutt has posted career-best numbers in batting average (.309), home runs (26) and slugging percentage (.691)."   Top MLB Draft prospect and Rapsodo athlete, Vance Honeycutt, is having an incredible season after signing to an NIL deal with the company.   He's continuing that tear at the College World Series currently happening in Omaha.   In six NCAA Tournament games, Honeycutt has hit four home runs, including two in consecutive at-bats, one of which was a walk-off HR.   Further proof of Rapsodo giving athletes at EVERY level of baseball the ability to get more out of their game. https://lnkd.in/gsHZhwRs https://lnkd.in/gUkpaANs #PlayOn #PlayWithoutLimits #MLBDraft #CollegeWorldSeries #CollegeBaseball #MLB

Baseball is constantly changing and evolving. Remember Moneyball? Data and courage shaped the Oakland Athletics 22 years ago, and continue to transform the game today.   For many, America’s greatest pastime is about tradition. Turn your hat around. Avoid celebrating after a home run. Forget all that metrics stuff. Just play ball, they say.   Meanwhile, in the cages and bullpens, data and technology have taken the reigns, shaping the future of baseball. From youth to pro, the athletes of today have grown up with technology as part of the game.   For athletes, coaches, parents, and fans, progress rules over tradition. The new school of baseball is here to stay. Get better. Compete. Have fun doing it.   With respect to tradition, Rapsodo champions this new era of play and the athletes who live it. Whether you're playing for the love of the game, a rising draft prospect, or the greatest player in a generation, Play On signifies embracing the future to feel unstoppable within.   Congratulations to our NIL athletes on a phenomenal college baseball season. For the ones who get the opportunity to compete in the College World Series, Play On! #Sports #SportsTech #PlayOn #PlayWithoutLimits Serif Creative NCAA ESPN

𝗬𝗮𝗸𝘆ū 𝗦𝗵ō𝗻𝗲𝗻.   It's the spirit of those who live to play the game of baseball – pushing their limits to achieve greatness.   Shohei Ohtani's story is one of humble beginnings to becoming one of the most celebrated players in baseball history. Tested by doubt, injury, and adversity, Ohtani’s success shows these tests will only become limitations IF we choose to impose them on ourselves as limitations. The Yakyū Shōnen sees an opportunity, digs deep, and keeps pushing further.   This is a tribute to the spirit that drives both Shohei Ohtani and Rapsodo Baseball. Against all odds, Ohtani has redefined what is possible in the game, as Rapsodo pushes the limits of baseball through technology.   Join us as we embrace the future of baseball, inspired by the passion and determination that define the Yakyū Shōnen like Shohei Ohtani.    See the full spot this weekend on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball! https://lnkd.in/gVDD6iuy   Serif Creative #PlayOn #PlayWithoutLimits #ShoheiOhtani #MLB #SportsTechnology
