MLB teams, keep your eyes on the radar: Steven Lacey’s latest pitch clocked in at 98mph. His mechanics are sound, his delivery is consistent, and his potential is evident. With a trajectory that suggests he could break into the 100mph realm, now’s the time for a forward-thinking team to invest. A pitcher who combines this level of velocity with control is a rare find. Consider making a move before his arm does the talking for him. #ProspectWatch #PitchingProspect #MLBPotential ⚾🔍📊

"Daily Did You Know?" The Atlanta Braves in the Major League Baseball (MLB) has been sponsored by RaceTrac since 2014. In 2017, they introduced a campaign called "#BeatTheFreeze" that has been #HugelySuccessful with some calling it the #BestTradition in the #MLB- it's even spawned action figures! #TheCampaign - Between innings at their home games, an #AtlantaBraves fan had the chance to out run "The Freeze" over approx 180m. The fan was given a significant head start, and then The Freeze tried (and usually succeeded) to chase down the fan. It lead to hilarious tumbles, edge of the seat finishes with The Freeze only beaten a handful of times. #UsainBolt has even got involved on social media saying '#TheFreeze was too fast for him'. Its generated massive social media followings, viral clips, as well as major broadcasts highlighting this race live and on repeat (see the 'best of' clip below)! Plus it all started as a small low investment and creative idea (along with using the assets it had 😉)! The secret sauce to this amazing campaign was the asset the Braves had i.e. Nigel Talton, a former high school & college track (athletics for the non-Americans amongst us) sprinter who had run a blistering 10.47s for a 100m. #Talton happened to be on the ground crew team for the Braves and when they discovered Talton's elite background, the campaign was born and the rest is history. Talton retired as #TheFreeze in 2023 after sprinting for 6 yrs and the Braves jokingly put up a job ad for his replacement in March 2024. Definitely one of the best sponsorship campaigns I can recall. Any others out there you can think of? #EpicCampaign #MLB #Sponsorships #FanEngagement
