ChangeUp will be the Official Pitching Safety and Performance Management System of the Bay State Summer Games, an annual athletic festival held in Massachusetts.
South Hamilton, MA — Massachusetts Amateur Sports Foundation, Inc. (“Bay State Games”) and ChangeUp, LLC (“ChangeUp”) announced today the signing of a strategic partnership. Under terms of the agreement, ChangeUp will serve as the “Official Pitching Safety and Performance Management System” of the Bay State Summer Games, an annual statewide athletic festival held in Massachusetts. The ChangeUp platform empowers coaches to record and monitor a baseball player’s pitching activity across an unlimited number of teams and seasons. This has become increasingly important as baseball moves to year-round training and players often play for multiple teams at the same time.
“We are truly pleased to partner with ChangeUp as they bring their unique pitch management platform to the Bay State Games,” stated Kevin Cummings, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Amateur Sports Foundation and the Bay State Games. “The ChangeUp team has deep roots in the baseball community — as players, as coaches, as parents – and we are excited about what this new technology offers our athletes.”
“We are truly honored and excited to be partnering with the prestigious Bay State Games. As kids growing up in Massachusetts, we viewed the Bay State Games as the pinnacle of youth athletics. To now be partnering with that same organization to help make the game of baseball safer and better for today’s athletes brings things full circle and is a dream come true for us,” said Drew Tripp, CEO, and Co-Founder of ChangeUp.
