The power, precision, and skill needed for MLB players to reach the top of their game is almost superhuman. Now, that intensity is being showcased through the world of anime in a campaign we're calling Heroes of the Game.
Throughout the campaign, we see some of the most powerful players in the world displaying the insane skills it takes to become a star in Major League Baseball. The work features Shohei Ohtani as the Master of Both Sides of the Game, Paul Skenes as the pitcher with ferocious power to unleash, Aaron Judge as the Herculean hitter on a mission to become one of the all-time greats, and Juan Soto as the man who sees all and can change the game with just one swing.
MLB teamed up with anime artists whose credits range from One Piece to Fullmetal Alchemist, and director Hiroshi Shimizu to create the films. Every scene was hand-drawn to bring to life a new world of baseball.
Stay tuned for more content and surprises celebrating our Heroes of the Game.
