AstroTurf Partners with Major League Baseball
In a groundbreaking announcement, AstroTurf®, the pioneer of synthetic turf, has been designated as the Official Synthetic Turf of Major League Baseball (MLB). This partnership, which spans several years, marks a pivotal moment for AstroTurf, solidifying its standing at the apex of baseball's infrastructure.
Celebrating a Historic Collaboration
AstroTurf's collaboration with MLB signifies more than just branding; it showcases a commitment to excellence in the sports surface industry. Known for its innovative design and high-performance surfaces, AstroTurf will prominently feature its products alongside one of sports' most recognizable logos. This alliance underscores AstroTurf's long-standing reputation as the turf of choice for MLB teams and leading baseball programs across the nation.
Crucial to this partnership is the AstroTurf Diamond Series®, renowned as the premier line of baseball-specific turf systems. Engineered meticulously, the Diamond Series replicates the authentic feel and aesthetics of natural grass. With an emphasis on providing true ball bounce, realistic sliding distances, and consistent playability, this turf surpasses standards for durability, safety, and overall game performance. Institutions and organizations at collegiate and professional levels have relied on the Diamond Series, which has established itself as the paragon of baseball turf.
Aaron Klotz, Director of Baseball at AstroTurf, emphasized the significance of this collaboration: "Being named the Official Synthetic Turf of Major League Baseball is an extraordinary opportunity that reflects the trust MLB places in our Diamond Series systems to perform for even the most demanding customers."
A Legacy of Innovation
With more than six decades of expertise, AstroTurf has remained synonymous with progress in synthetic sports surfaces. Their meticulous focus on performance has made them the preferred choice for athletes and coaches alike. Philip Snider, COO at AstroTurf, shared his excitement, stating, "At AstroTurf, everything we do is about elevating the game. From how the ball reacts to how athletes move, we obsess over the details. Being trusted and chosen by Major League Baseball is a powerful endorsement of our commitment to performance, quality, and safety."
In addition to marketing efforts, AstroTurf will also engage with MLB and associated league partners in various events. The highly-anticipated
2025 Speedway Classic on August 2, which will see the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds compete, is a notable highlight. This innovative event will turn Bristol Motor Speedway into a custom ballpark featuring an AstroTurf Diamond Series field specifically designed for top-tier play and fan enjoyment. Post-event, MLB will donate this AstroTurf system to the East Tennessee State University baseball team, further extending the positive impact of this partnership.
Setting New Standards in Baseball Turf
AstroTurf is now positioned to redefine the future of baseball field surfaces, spanning from prestigious professional stadiums to collegiate diamonds and local community fields. Their robust commitment to quality and performance promises to influence the next generation of athletic surfaces positively.
