BELLEVUE, Wash., May 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Tacoma Rainiers, Triple-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners, have partnered with content automation company HERO Sports to create content highlighting the team, players, history, and community.

This is the 60th season of baseball at Cheney Field in Tacoma, WA, and the 25th year of hosting a Mariners baseball affiliate. The HERO Sports platform taps into this rich baseball history to create stories highlighting players and teams throughout history.

This technology enables the Rainiers to expand their digital footprint and produce more of the content fans are looking for. The HERO Sports platform produces a variety of content; everything from game previews & recaps to predictions & rankings and more.

"The efficiency that HERO Sports provides will allow us to stay up-to-date in today's tech industry while exploring creative paths that our staff hasn't had the opportunity to do previously."

To commemorate their 25 years as a Mariners affiliate the Rainiers first initiative with HERO Sports is to analyze the performance of every player over the last 25 years and rank the top 25 former players. The content produced will be used as stories on the Rainiers website and as posts across social channels to highlight some of the greats spending time in Tacoma before elevating to the big leagues.

"It's really impressive to work with an organization focused on using content to better serve their fans," said Brad Weitz, HERO Sports CEO. "The Rainiers understand how sports can galvanize communities and they're using content as the bridge to engage their neighbors and bring people together."
