THE

DIGITAL PLATFORM

A $30M+ Annual Revenue Opportunity

PREPARED BY  Chris Douglas

A DIGITAL PLATFORM DESIGNED TO ACCELERATE ENGAGEMENT AND REVENUE BEYOND THE SEASON

Perfect Game has spent 30 years building something no competitor can replicate: the largest, most trusted database in amateur baseball, embedded in the daily lives of 2 million families across 9,800 events annually. The audience exists. The data exists. The infrastructure exists. What doesn't exist yet is a digital platform that ties it together.

01  CREATE YEAR-ROUND ENGAGEMENT WITH PLAYERS

The PG Mobile App is the vehicle that transforms player profiles from passive recruiting pages into an always-on engagement platform that keeps families connected year-round

02  BUILD THE FIRST-PARTY DATA LAYER TO ACCELERATE GROWTH

Transform the player and family data into a powerful first-party data platform that unlocks new media, sponsorship, retail, and advertising revenue streams.

03  ACCELERATE PLAYER DATA PRODUCTIZATION WITH AI

Combining AI-driven player projections, verified game data, development tracking, analytics, and recruiting workflow tools into a single platform for scouts, colleges, MLB organizations, and travel programs.

THE MOBILE APP

The mobile app features embedded ticketing, commerce, registrations, streaming, travel, subscriptions – all driving personalized engagement. Perfect Game can unify the entire player and family journey in one ecosystem. This approach transforms isolated event interactions into a persistent, year-round relationship powered by first-party data, personalized content, recruiting insights, commerce opportunities, sponsorship activation, and new recurring revenue streams establishing Perfect Game as the central digital hub for amateur baseball families, athletes, coaches, scouts, and brand partners.

DIGITAL SPONSORSHIPS
& EVENT ENGAGEMENT

Families hate the gate fees for the youth tournaments. 3x the gate fee revenue by transforming sponsorships from static banner advertising into measurable, in-app event experiences tied directly to tournament attendance and engagement.

Geo-triggered activations, named event sponsorships, branded entry experiences, sponsored PGTV highlights, and native app placements create premium inventory that reaches families in real time throughout the tournament journey. Integrated with vivenu ticketing data, sponsors gain visibility into attendance and engagement before events even begin.

BALLS & STRIKES

PG already scores every tournament game via DiamondKast.

Add an outbound API push that auto-populates balls and strikes into both teams’ GameChanger apps in real time. Teams get a better GC experience with no behavior change required — everything else (hits, errors, baserunning) they still enter manually, so GC engagement is untouched.

PG embeds a sync fee in team registration and offers the feature as a named sponsorship asset. Dick’s pays you for this.

MODERNIZED SCOUT PLATFORM

Perfect Game possesses one of the most defensible data assets in amateur sports. Build a true B2B SaaS business by rebuilding the scout and coach experience around live player data, recruiting CRM capabilities, and tiered subscription access. Real-time profile updates, saved player tracking, private evaluations, recruiting boards, video, DiamondKast history, biomechanics, AI-driven projections, and combine data APIs create a sticky product that becomes central to the recruiting process. You can even include club level access that allows coaches to review their team’s performance against their competitors. Off-season combines further extend the platform into year-round engagement and recurring revenue, feeding fresh assessment data back into the ecosystem.

AI ENABLED OFF SEASON TRAINING

The AI Training opportunity creates a parallel consumer subscription business that compounds over time by turning Perfect Game’s player and sensor data ecosystem into personalized development products.

Beginning with data pipeline and model architecture work, the roadmap evolves into free AI-powered player analysis and benchmarking, followed by a paid subscription tier offering training plans, drill libraries, progress tracking, equipment recommendations, and affiliate-driven facility referrals.

Off-season combines continuously refresh player data, deepen engagement, and feed both the consumer training platform and the Phase 5 scout ecosystem.

This roadmap starts with turning PG's existing scoring infrastructure into a data asset. Build the app focused on utility first, engagement second. Deepen the player profile until coaches and families depend on it daily. Then monetize the audience at a scale the current platform can't reach.

ANNUAL REVENUE OPPORTUNITY = $18–36M/yr

Hi, I’m Chris.

I have over a decade in advertising, digital and experiential. I built a global software company from scratch. In my 8 years at WWT I’ve helped build a commerce and CX practice leading engagements across retail, QSR, grocery, and sports and media — directly contributing to over $250M in digital growth and billions in client impact.

I’m also uniquely interested in PG. My 14U baseball player lives in the tournament world. I know this experience from the inside and see the opportunity to build a digital platform experience that extends beyond the field.

PG has the audience, the data, and the commercial partners. What’s missing is a single owner of the platform that connects them. That’s a role I would like to talk with you about.
