In partnership with the Major League Baseball Players Association, UMG has announced an esports series for MLB players. Their first event is the MLBPA Fortnite challenge. Trea Turner, Trevor May, and Lance McCullers Jr. are named as participants in UMG’s tweet, but it promises even more players will be involved.

This isn’t the first crossover between esports and the sporting community at large. Javy covered the Olympic Committee hosted talks with Overwatch League players back in July.
