"We are thrilled to team up with Softball 360 for another season," said ASA/USA Softball Executive Director Craig Cress. "The past two seasons have provided ASA/USA Softball athletes, umpires, coaches and fans the opportunity to tell their stories while showcasing the fun, competitive and exciting nature of our great game. With the addition of Jennie Finch as the host for 2016, we're looking forward to another great season of telling amazing stories."
Hosted by two-time Olympian Jennie Finch, the show will feature several ASA/USA Softball sanctioned teams, events, features and programs across the country. From Adult and Junior Olympic (JO) tournaments, both in fast pitch and slow pitch, accompanied by umpires and administration stories, the hosts will take an in-depth look at several of the opportunities playing ASA/USA Softball can provide. Softball 360 is also stepping up its international softball coverage, as the show is set to cover the USA vs. Japan All-Star series in Tokyo, Japan, the World Cup of Softball XI and Border Battle VIII in Oklahoma City, Okla. and the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Junior Men's World Championship in Midland, Mich.
Softball 360 is also the home of the ASA Long Haul Bombers Stadium Power Tour that travels to approximately eight Major League Baseball (MLB) Stadiums throughout the country showcasing some of the best hitters in the game in a competitive series seeking the Manufactures Cup title. In the 2015 ASA Stadium Power Tour Finals, Denny "Grand Slam" Crine's nine points won the day while teammate Kevin Filby added another eight and a half points to help Team Miken edge out the Manufactures Cup title. The 2016 ASA Stadium Power Tour will be larger than ever, with six teams on board: Team Combat, Team DeMarini, Team Easton, Team Louisville Slugger, Team Miken/Worth and Team Monsta.
"I've won the title twice, and I'm hungry for a three-peat as World's Greatest Softball Home Run hitter," said ASA Long Haul Bomber Chris Larsen. "The research and development team at DeMarini has come up with another amazing bat. I've paid the price all winter, working out and making scarifies to improve. You better believe that DeMarini is on point for 2016."
Softball 360 Executive Producer John Daniels feels there is great value in promoting softball on a national level.
"Here at Softball 360, we are more excited than ever to start filming the wide variety of softball events ASA/USA Softball has planned for the 2016 season," said Softball 360 Executive Producer John Daniels. "Every year, ASA/USA Softball has an exceptional schedule planned for our crew making each and every episode full of great softball action! Louisville Slugger and Monsta are the newest additions, joining Teams Combat, Demarini, Easton and Miken/Worth on the ASA Long Haul Bombers Stadium Power Tour. We expect 2016 to be the most competitive season yet!"
