AstroTurf Named the Official Synthetic Turf of Major League Baseball

Iconic Turf Brand Aligns with America's Pastime for Multi-Year Partnership

NEW YORK, June 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Major League Baseball (MLB) and AstroTurf®, the originator of synthetic turf and a global leader in sports surface innovation, have announced a multi-year partnership designating AstroTurf as the Official Synthetic Turf of Major League Baseball.

As a Proud Partner of MLB, AstroTurf will be marketing its products with one of the most iconic logos in sports. This partnership reinforces AstroTurf's presence at the highest level of the game and reflects the brand's long-standing reputation as a surface trusted and chosen by Major League Baseball and elite baseball programs across the country.

The central product being marketed through partnership is the AstroTurf Diamond Series®, the industry's premier line of baseball-specific turf systems. Engineered to deliver true ball bounce, realistic sliding distances, and consistent playability, the Diamond Series replicates the look and feel of natural surfaces while exceeding expectations for durability, safety, and game-time performance. Trusted by top collegiate programs and professional organizations alike, the Diamond Series sets the gold standard for baseball turf.

"This partnership is a milestone moment for our team and our brand," said Aaron Klotz, AstroTurf's Director of Baseball. "To be The Official Synthetic Turf of Major League Baseball is an extraordinary opportunity and a reflection of the trust MLB places in our Diamond Series systems to perform for even the most demanding customers."

For over 60 years, AstroTurf has been synonymous with innovation in synthetic sports surfacing. The company's relentless focus on performance has made it the go-to choice for athletes and coaches seeking surfaces engineered for excellence.

"At AstroTurf, everything we do is about elevating the game," said Philip Snider, Chief Operating Officer of AstroTurf. "From how the ball reacts to how athletes move, we obsess over the details. Being trusted and chosen by Major League Baseball is a powerful endorsement of our commitment to performance, quality, and safety."

As part of this partnership, AstroTurf will collaborate with MLB and additional league partners on select events and projects including the highly anticipated 2025 Speedway Classic presented by BuildSubmarines.com on August 2nd. This first-of-its-kind showcase designed by MLB will transform Bristol Motor Speedway into a custom-built ballpark, where the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds will compete on an AstroTurf Diamond Series field designed for elite-level play and maximum fan excitement. After the Speedway Classic, MLB is donating the AstroTurf system to East Tennessee State University for use by the university baseball team.

With this agreement, AstroTurf is poised to influence the next generation of baseball field turf systems, from professional stadiums and training centers to college diamonds and community ballfields.
