Together, we plan to elevate the in-game experience for future generations of baseball."
"Hyperice is one of the most innovative companies in sports today and many baseball players already use their products, making them an ideal strategic partner," said Noah Garden, MLB Chief Revenue Officer. "Hyperice's innovative products can play an important role in player recovery, which is especially relevant in an everyday sport like baseball. We look forward to working alongside Hyperice as they continue to grow, supporting our players and teams for the rest of the Postseason and years to come."
"I couldn't be more excited to join the Hyperice family. I've always been a fan of their recovery products and have been using them to help keep me on the field," said Fernando Tatís Jr. "They are the best in the business and I'm honored to be part of their journey."
