At Prospects Live, our mission has always been to bridge the gap between the scouting community and the fans who obsess over the future of the game. Today, we are taking a massive leap forward in that mission.

We are happy to announce two strategic partnerships that will improve how we evaluate players and how you experience the game: Fantrax and Vizual Edge.

1. The Performance Edge: Vizual Edge

If you follow the modern game, you know that "tools" aren't just about bat speed and foot speed anymore. It’s about the eyes.

We are thrilled to partner with Vizual Edge, a market leader in visual acuity evaluation and training. If the name sounds familiar, it’s because it is: Aaron Judge is a client, and a significant number of MLB clubs now leverage Vizual Edge data to evaluate prospects before they ever step into a professional batter's box.

What this means for you: Through this partnership, Prospects Live will be able to leverage Vizual Edge’s proprietary data and reporting into our scouting profiles. We aren't just going to tell you a player has "good strike zone discipline"; we’ll be able to share the visual processing power behind it.

For amateur players and hopefuls in our audience, this partnership also provides a direct path to the same training used by the pros to sharpen their Edge.

2. The Dynasty Edge: Fantrax

For the fantasy players among us, this next announcement is something I have personally championed for years. Fantrax is now the Official Fantasy Partner of Prospects Live.

I spent a decade in a home league started in 2010 on a "standard" platform. By 2017, we were fed up. We were tired of Player Not Found search responses, cookie-cutter setups, and the inability to properly manage a real Minor League farm system. In 2018, we migrated the entire league history to Fantrax, and it was the best decision we ever made.

I'll be blunt: Fantrax is the only place I play fantasy baseball now (with one legacy exception).

Why this matters for the PLive community: Our scouts and analysts work tirelessly to identify the next wave of MLB talent. It makes no sense to read about a surging prospect on our "Daily Sheet" and then find out your league platform doesn't even have him in the system.

  • Deepest Player Pool: If we are writing about them, they are on Fantrax.
  • Pro-Level Management: Manage your Dynasty "Farm System" with the same granularity an MLB GM uses.

A New Era for Prospects Live

These partnerships aren't just about logos on a website. They represent our commitment to the "Life" in Prospects Live. Whether it’s the technology that helps a player reach the Big Leagues (Vizual Edge) or the platform that lets you roster them on their way up (Fantrax), we are proud to be associated with the best in the business.

We have a lot of exciting integrations planned for the coming months. Stay tuned, the season is just getting started!
