Hey baseball fans! So, I've been thinking…how do we get more young people into MLB? Let's be real, it's not exactly trendy right now, is it? My generation grew up with video games and TikTok, and frankly, a three-hour baseball game can feel…long. But I still love the sport! So, what's the deal?

I think MLB needs a serious image refresh. We need to make it more accessible, more exciting, and way more engaging for a younger audience. Think shorter games, more interactive experiences at the stadium, and maybe even some cool augmented reality stuff. You know what I mean? Imagine seeing stats pop up on your phone as you watch the game, or being able to unlock virtual rewards by attending live matches.

And let's talk about the social media game. MLB's presence online needs a serious upgrade. More engaging content, better use of TikTok and Instagram, maybe even some live streams with player interviews. We need to connect with fans on the platforms they actually use. Seriously, how many times have you seen a cool baseball moment on TikTok that wasn't officially shared by MLB? We need to be there first.

Another thing: highlight the personalities of the players. Let's get to know these guys! Show their personalities, their quirks, their passions outside of baseball. Humanize the sport. People connect with people, not just stats and uniforms. Plus, a little behind-the-scenes drama never hurt anyone, right? (Just kidding…mostly.)

One more thing that's important is affordability. Let's be honest, taking a family to a baseball game can be expensive. Maybe MLB could offer more affordable ticket options, especially for families and young adults. Think discounts, group deals, and even some free community events.

So, there you have it – my completely unsolicited advice on how to get the next generation hooked on baseball. It's a challenge, for sure, but I think it's totally doable. What do you think? Have you got any ideas? Let's hear them!

Have you tried any of these strategies? Would love to hear your take!
