Rawlings recently partnered with Edison Nation® (http://www.edisonnation.com/) to discover the next game-changing baseball and fast-pitch softball training product designed to help today’s elite athletes.

Last year, Rawlings introduced the new 5-Tool Training Series in collaboration with Ripken Baseball in an effort to assist coaches and players with training and game preparation.

The Rawlings “Live Product Search” through Edison Nation calls on all players, coaches and fans of the game to submit their product ideas that will innovate the game even further.

Edison Nation, an open innovation platform, accepts, filters and processes the submissions of independent inventors looking to introduce their ideas to partnering retailers and manufacturers. The expert product review team analyzes thousands of ideas each month.

Edison Nation is free to join. The Rawlings Live Product Search ends on
June 7, 2010. For further details on the search and how to submit, visit: www.edisonnation.com/rawlings.

“Monica is acknowledged as one of the greatest pitchers in the fastpitch game.  Her unparalleled athletic accomplishments are clearly exemplified by her statistical records,” said Mike Thompson, Senior Vice President of Marketing.  “Worth is committed to being the best at every level of fastpitch softball.  Monica will play a critical role in the development of Worth products for youth and amateur players right up to the highest level of professional players.”

Abbott was one of the key members of the USA Women’s National Team which won the Silver medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.  Before turning professional as a current member of the National Pro Fastpitch’s Florida Pride, Abbott was a collegiate stand out at the University of Tennessee.  Abbott was the 2007 USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year and holds NCAA Division I records in: career victory record (189), career shutout record (112), strikeouts (2,440), appearances (253), and single-season strikeouts (724).

“I am thrilled to be working with the Worth team to endorse the Worth 5-Tool Training line and new Monica Abbott signature fielders gloves,” said Abbott.  “I have worn a Worth glove since I was a freshman at Tennessee, so I am excited to have my own signature series to wear this year.”
