PERFECT GAME PARTNERS WITH ARMCARE TO ENHANCE PLAYER HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE

SANFORD, Fla., Feb. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Perfect Game, the world's largest youth baseball and softball platform and scouting service, today announced a groundbreaking partnership with ArmCare.com, a pioneer in arm health technology. Starting this year, ArmCare.com will provide advanced arm strength assessments at every Perfect Game showcase, setting a new standard in player health and recruitment analytics. Through this partnership, Perfect Game becomes the first youth athlete organization to incorporate an arm care program like this.

This innovative collaboration will feature ArmCare's research-grade dynamometer, which measures arm strength and range of motion. Every athlete participating in a Perfect Game showcase will undergo a comprehensive assessment to evaluate their arm health. Following the testing, players will receive a detailed 8-page PDF report, which highlights areas of strength, potential imbalances and compares their results against their peers. This critical data empowers players with the knowledge to improve their performance and reduce injury risks.

"Since Rick Thurman and Rob Ponger took over Perfect Game, they have made the health of the athletes participating in our events a top priority," said Jered Goodwin, Vice President of Scouting for Perfect Game. "Following an extensive vetting process, we are thrilled to partner with ArmCare to bring this advanced technology to our showcases. Our commitment has always been to enhance player development and safety. By incorporating ArmCare's assessments, we are taking a significant step forward in supporting the long-term health and success of the young athletes within the Perfect Game ecosystem."

In addition to the assessment, all participants will be granted a year-long Premium membership to the ArmCare app. This membership provides access to elite features such as fatigue monitoring, individualized pitch counts and customized training programs designed to strengthen identified weak links. These tools are crucial for athletes looking to optimize their performance throughout their careers.

"Our mission is to support athletes in achieving their peak performance while minimizing injury," said Duggan Moran, Founder and President of ArmCare.com. "Partnering with Perfect Game allows us to impact a broader audience and ensures that future generations of baseball players have the tools they need to thrive."

This partnership not only highlights Perfect Game's commitment to player health but also sets a new industry standard, encouraging other organizations to prioritize athlete wellness in sports programming.
