Out of the Park Developments, an official licensee of MLB.com, the MLBPA, and MiLB.com, today announced a strategic partnership with the Trenton Thunder, the Double-A affiliate of the New York Yankees. The partnership will further extend the rich authenticity that Out of the Park Baseball 18 offers fans, including the ability to experience each and every Major and Minor League club from every baseball season ever played, beginning in 1871 and continuing through 2017. In addition, Trenton Thunder staff and players will utilize Out of the Park Baseball 18 to run simulations and projections to provide strategic analysis as the 2017 season progresses.
“The Trenton Thunder are the gold standard of Double-A baseball,” said OOTP CMO Richard Grisham. “Their alumni reads like a Who’s Who of baseball greatness, and they consistently compete for – and win – Eastern League Championships. We’re delighted to work closely with them to further extend OOTP 18’s authenticity and interact directly with their fans on broadcasts and at Arm & Hammer Park.”
“Our goal is to directly work with as many major and minor league clubs as possible to take our games to the next level,” Grisham continued. “Working with teams benefits our fans in many ways, including park factors, financial models for clubs at various levels, retired numbers, and many other details that we have incorporated into the game. Our fans have been loud and clear with their delight, as it further adds realism and authenticity to a title that has won multiple awards. We could not be happier!”
“Out of the Park Baseball 18 gives everyone an opportunity to be the main decision maker for their favorite team and lead them to a Championship,” said Thunder Public Relations Manager Jon Mozes. “As a kid I dreamed of becoming a Major League GM and OOTP 18 gives every fan the chance to live that dream.”
