Sanford, Florida (Thursday, May 29, 2025) - Perfect Game, the world’s largest youth baseball and softball platform and scouting service, today announced that Pitchcom® has been named its official on-field communications provider through a newly formed exclusive partnership. The agreement marks a significant step forward in modernizing amateur baseball by integrating Pitchcom’s® industry-leading, wearable communication technology into Perfect Game tournaments and broadcasts as Perfect Game becomes the first travel baseball organization to partner with Pitchcom®.

As part of the multi-faceted collaboration, Pitchcom® systems will be deployed at major Perfect Game events throughout the travel baseball calendar, including the DICK’S All-American Classic, the Select Festivals, October’s iconic WWBA Championship, and the National Showcase. This groundbreaking integration enables real-time, secure communication between pitchers, catchers, and coaches, enhancing in-game strategy, improving pace-of-play, and enriching the viewing experience for fans watching on PerfectGame.TV (PGTV). The technology will be used at Perfect Game events for both offensive and defensive use.

"At Perfect Game, innovation is at the heart of our mission to elevate amateur baseball," said Perfect Game CEO Rob Ponger. "PitchCom’s® technology brings a new dimension to player development and competitive integrity, while giving coaches and scouts deeper insights and providing our viewers a more immersive experience."

PitchCom® will be prominently featured across Perfect Game’s communication channels, including email campaigns, social media, PGTV, PerfectGame.org, and live event broadcasts. The partnership underscores a shared commitment to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in amateur sports.

“We are very excited to be partnering with Perfect Game to make PitchCom®’s patented technology available to all its members,” said John Hankins, co-inventor and co-owner of PitchCom®. “This partnership brings cutting-edge Major League tools to the amateur level, empowering players to elevate their game, accelerate development, and enhance on-field safety like never before. Unlike systems that require a cellular or WiFi connection, PitchCom® works everywhere Perfect Game events are held. We look forward to many years of being the Official Coach to Player Communication Partner of Perfect Game.” 

This exclusive partnership represents a forward-looking evolution in amateur baseball, offering players, coaches, and audiences the same cutting-edge tools seen at the highest levels of the sport.
