MLBPA and all-star player to tout sports drink.

The Major League Baseball Players Association and Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo have partnered with BodyArmor, a new sports drink, for promotions.

Through the partnership, Rizzo will now appear in local in-store and external advertising campaigns, digital and social media activations and at local events in the Chicago area.

BodyArmor’s partnership with the MLBPA will allow the brand to use other selected players in promotions for the beverage.

“We are excited about the opportunity to work with BodyArmor as they seek to spread the word about their products by partnering with other Major League baseball players who have become fans of the sports drink,” says Richard White, general manager, business affairs, MLBPA.

BodyArmor is a sports drink with no artificial ingredients and contains electrolytes, coconut water and vitamins. The drink is currently available in eight flavors.
