BOSTON, MA – New Balance Future Stars Series (NBFSS) announced today an industry changing partnership with Infinite Sky AI, integrating Infinite Sky’s advanced artificial intelligence platform as a core component of all Future Stars Series events at every level of play.
Under the agreement, Infinite Sky technology will be used at every FSS event, reflecting its role as an integral part of how Future Stars Series evaluates, develops, and forecasts talent. The partnership also includes exclusive rights in international markets and the junior college space, further establishing FSS as the global standard for amateur baseball evaluation and development.
Over its 10-year history, NBFSS has been associated with nearly 500 million dollars in Major League Baseball signing bonuses, with an operational footprint spanning 14 countries, including extensive presence throughout the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Far East.
At various points, FSS athletes have represented as much as 35 percent of the invited players at the MLB Combine and top 100 in the Minor Leagues, as well as 15-16 percent of the MLB Draft class in the last several years.
“This partnership represents a true merge of vision and execution,” said Jeremy Booth, CEO and President of Baseball Operations for New Balance Future Stars Series. “Infinite Sky is now an integral part of what we do. It allows us to better understand pitching execution, project roles, and support development across every environment we operate in. This works globally, fits alongside our existing partners, and reflects the Major League mindset that has always driven Future Stars Series.”
Infinite Sky AI is an innovative sports analytics platform that transforms standard video into objective, physics driven performance data. Leveraging advanced computer vision, machine learning AI, and physics-based simulation, Infinite Sky converts game film and broadcast video into precise three-dimensional motion and force data for both athletes and objects without requiring dedicated ball tracking hardware.
“Partnering with Future Stars Series accelerates our mission in a meaningful way,” said Ken Lazarus, CEO of Infinite Sky AI, joined by Bryan Goelz, Vice President of Business Development. “FSS operates at the center of elite amateur evaluation and global talent identification. Embedding our platform across their events allows us to deliver objective, physics driven command, and control insights at scale, turning any video into actionable data and helping teams make smarter evaluation and development decisions at every level of the game.”
Infinite Sky’s technology enables reliable grading and evaluation of pitching command and control directly from video, measuring a pitcher’s intended target versus actual pitch execution. These command and ball flight metrics support faster processing, clearer role forecasting, and more informed player development decisions across scouting, player evaluation, and performance departments.
Infinite Sky AI’s platform is already being utilized in collaboration with Major League Baseball organizations and NCAA programs. Its Command Tracker metrics have demonstrated strong correlation with advanced performance indicators such as FIP, WHIP, and WAR, allowing insights gathered at the amateur level to translate cleanly to professional evaluation. Infinite Sky technology can be used with video from stadiums and environments where traditional tracking infrastructure does not exist.
Infinite Sky technology integrates seamlessly with the Future Stars Series’ existing ecosystem of data vendors and long-standing role forecasting and evaluation models, allowing FSS to scale standardized pitching assessment globally while maintaining flexibility across leagues, facilities, and international markets.
To further guide product development and real-world application, Infinite Sky AI recently launched its Sports Advisory Board, featuring former Major League players Rich Hill, a 20-year MLB veteran pitcher, Mark Melancon, a four-time MLB All Star and former National League saves leader, and Jason Castro, former MLB catcher and 2013 All Star. Their involvement provides direct on field validation and practical insight into the evolution of Infinite Sky’s evaluation tools.
