New Balance Future Stars Series and the Mass General Brigham Center for Sports Performance will collaborate to create a baseball performance training pipeline.
“We continue to build the Mass General Brigham Center for Sports Performance and Research into one of the premiere performance training locations in the country,” said R. Scott Gassett, Vice President of Mass General Brigham Sports Medicine. “We are thrilled to begin this collaboration with the New Balance Future Stars Series to expand our outreach to baseball athletes. The combination of their track record for identifying top amateur prospects with our innovative approaches will enable us to support these outstanding athletes as they pursue their ultimate goals.”
President and CEO of New Balance Future Stars Series, Jeremy Booth, recognizes the opportunity for the game of baseball. “Today is a big day in the baseball community, not just for the Future Stars Series family but for the game itself, Booth said. “We take a huge step forward, one that’s been in progress for a long time, to better understand athlete success and growth. The expertise at Mass General Brigham is world-renowned and second to none. To align on this endeavor, one which includes some of the best franchises across each sport in the history of professional sports is an honor and a privilege. I look forward to what we can do together as we work to impact lives through sports.”
The new collaboration will initially focus on developing a standardized process for assessing skills such as a baseball player’s strength, power, or pitching capabilities and develop a comprehensive strength and conditioning program to address findings from assessments. The Center for Sports Performance and Research team will collect summary data of each athlete to develop an individualized training program specific to the participant’s capabilities and goals.
Mass General Brigham Sports Medicine provides clinical services to the Boston Bruins, New England Patriots, New England Revolution, and Boston College, as well as numerous other college and high school athletic programs throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
