Under Armour, MLB Partnership Includes Bringing Connected Fitness Platform To Players

Under Armour announced Monday it will provide exclusive Connected Fitness offerings to Major League Baseball teams, which will provide athletes with state-of-the-art technology designed to inform and strengthen player performance.

The Under Armour Connected Fitness platform powers a digital health and fitness community through a suite of applications: UA Record, MapMyFitness, Endomondo and MyFitnessPal.

The NBA in June had announced the launch of its first fitness app — the NBA FIT app in partnership with Under Armour powered by UA Record.

But for Under Armour and MLB, the partnership is part of a 10-year agreement that names the brand as the official uniform provider for the league beginning in 2020.
