American Association of Professional Baseball and CHAMPRO Expand Partnership to Include New On-Field Categories

BANNOCKBURN, ILLINOIS (December 9, 2025) — CHAMPRO announced an expansion of its partnership with the American Association of Professional Baseball (AAPB). This evolution solidifies CHAMPRO’s position as a key uniform and equipment supplier across multiple facets of the leading MLB Partner league in North America.

“CHAMPRO has quickly become an integral part of the American Association’s on-field identity through the Baseball Champions League and our All-Star Game, and this expanded partnership is a reflection of the trust and alignment we’ve built together,” said Joshua Schaub, Commissioner of the American Association of Professional Baseball. “CHAMPRO’s commitment to quality, innovation and service ensures our players, coaches and umpires are outfitted at a championship level every time they take the field.”

Building on the success of the initial agreement, CHAMPRO is significantly expanding its partnership with the AAPB. CHAMPRO will continue its key roles — serving as the official uniform supplier for the Home Run Derby and the Baseball Champions League, and acting as a supporting partner of the All-Star Youth Clinic — while assuming several important new official partnership roles.

Specifically, CHAMPRO will become the Official On-field/Athleisure Partner of All-Star Weekend, the Official uniform supplier of the All-Star Game and the Official umpire uniform partner. CHAMPRO will also be the preferred supplier for catcher’s gear and bases going forward. This expanded role complements its previous and continued involvement, which included being the presenting partner of the Rising Players Combine during the AAPB’s 2025 All-Star Game.

“This expansion is a testament to what happens when two organizations share a passion for elevating the game and everyone who touches it,” said Shylo Farnsworth, vice president of marketing at CHAMPRO. “We’re thrilled to deepen our partnership with the AAPB and deliver the performance, innovation, and reliability that athletes and officials count on every day.”

This agreement underscores the deepening relationship between the AAPB and CHAMPRO, ensuring consistent, high-quality and professional representation across the league’s most visible components. Fans can expect to see the new CHAMPRO-branded uniforms and equipment on the field when the 2026 Baseball Champions League kicks off in March.
