In 2022, EL1 Tournament’s parent company, EL1 Sports, signed a partnership agreement with Major League Baseball designed to grow accessibility and engagement in youth baseball and softball. The innovative multiyear agreement includes a revenue-sharing component that makes MLB a partial owner of EL1 and will create an ongoing source of funding for grassroots programs such as MLB’s Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) and participatory programs such as PLAY BALL. It will also lead to more opportunities to link EL1's Showcases, Camps and Tournaments to MLB and MLB teams.
