ONIT Athlete37:39-41:41
It's time for this week's ONIT segment of the week. Hey, everyone. What's up? It is Bella back with the ONIT segment of the week. I'm here with the one, the only Leonard Berry, who is the digital marketing specialist at ONIT Athlete. Leonard, what is up? What's up, Bella? It's good to see you again. It's been a busy month, but things are finally kind of slowing down, I guess, for me. But things are ramping up here, obviously, as we go into this summer season. Yeah, I mean, big MLB draft prospects that y'all have. Can you kind of give us a little bit of an insight into what that's looking like on On Its End? Yeah. I mean, as folks know, we've been talking about Gravity Baseball for the past couple of weeks. We've got plenty of draft prospects. in there and with the MLB draft coming up, uh, this weekend, really excited to see potentially some of our names get called, uh, rock Chalowski. Uh, we've talked about him quite a lot, but there's a very high chance that he's going to end up being the number one overall pick. You got Drew Burris and Von Lackey, uh, potentially going in the top 10 there as well. Uh, Sawyer, Stroh, Snyder, Liam Peer, Peterson, Chris Hacobian, Ace Reese, Caden Sorrell, uh, Tons of names. Ryder Helfrich is a name that's getting a lot of love right now out of Arkansas. Jared Avanchula as well from Georgia Tech is a guy who folks have been kind of his draft stock rose throughout the course of the year. And just another one, potentially three Georgia Tech guys who get drafted this weekend, all who signed with us. So that would be really cool to see from our Georgia Tech team set. But I'm just really looking forward to seeing if Rock can hold on to that number one overall pick spot because Grady Emerson, the high school kid, has been generating a lot of buzz recently. So it'll be interesting to see. That would be insane. I can't even imagine being like 18 years old, just going right into the MLB. But I think that's also something that makes the MLB kind of special and fun. Yeah, I mean, having 15 top prospects just as on athletes is amazing. And yeah, three from Georgia Tech all getting signed in the first round would be pretty cool. Pretty cool. Have... has everything with gravity baseball still been good good reception yeah i've seen a seen a couple people submit their hits to us so that's been pretty cool uh onitathlete.com slash highlights is the place you can go if you want to do that i've seen some hollow forms which is the brand new insert um i've seen some folks with uh autographs number nine so been super cool to see the community uh kind of reception and people getting big hits um you know as a retail product it's with no guaranteed autos. It's not always easy to find some of those low-numbered autographs. So to see the people out there pulling them in the wild, sending us seven wonders, it's been super cool to see. And like I said, we got quite a few in the draft prospects in that product, even though it's just limited to 10 teams versus the 21 that we work with this spring. You still do have Sawyer and Ace Reese and Chalowski's in there as well. So nobody sent me the Rock Chalowski 101 auto. Maybe they haven't been waiting for him to get drafted. Maybe they're waiting for draft day so they can put it up on eBay and say White Sox number one overall pick, you know, but I don't know if anybody even has it yet. Yeah, that's crazy. All right. Shifting gears a little bit. I know we got like three weeks just about until the National. What do y'all got going on at the National? I know I've heard some some rumblings of some exciting things that y'all are doing. So let's let's fill the audience in on what they can expect. Yeah, so we are going to be back at the National with, once again, we'll have a booth. So for folks that were at the National last year that maybe came by the On It booth, it'll be pretty similar to what you saw last year. We'll be streaming from there once again. So we'll have our live TikTok and whatnot ripping chips going on there at the National. We'll have the booth set up with an ONIT product as well. Some of the folks, you know, who work at the company will all be there at the booth. So if you want to meet, you know, Matt and Kyle from the TikTok and whatnot side, or if you want to, you know, maybe talk to some of our sales reps, if you're a hobby shop or whatever, Just somebody who's looking to get some distribution or direct account will be there out in force. So for folks that are going that are, you know, in the card space, like we will definitely have a lot of opportunities for you to get in touch with us out there. And then for just fans and card collectors and stuff, we're going to have some special packs. We had last year, we had the silver packs, which everybody seemed to love. There were a ton of huge hits in there. For a lot of different schools, the silver packs will be back. And with us doing ONIT Black in a new form this year, we're going to have some ONIT Black packs there as well that are exclusive to the National. So folks can expect to find some never before seen autographs across those new packs, which I think or I hope that collectors will be very excited about. Yeah, that's awesome. And are those only going to be available at the National? Can't get them after? That is correct. Yeah, they are going to be national exclusive. So both the Silver Packs and the ONIT Black Packs are going to be national exclusives. So stop by the ONIT Athlete booth. Or if you're not at the national, you can also check in on our streams. So I know there's plenty of people who can't make it out to the Chicago area for a variety of reasons, whether it's work or whether it's just the cost. I mean... The cost of travel is not cheap these days. So you can check in on our streams as well. We'll be running some special promos for folks that can't make it in person, but still want to have opportunity to get their hands on them. But it will only run through the duration of the national. So if you hop in after the national ends in August, you're going to be disappointed because you missed out. Leonard, can you drop some of the deets again? Can you drop that link again for people to share the Gravity Baseball hits that they get? Yeah, absolutely. It's onitathlete.com slash highlights. You can submit your Gravity Baseball hits there, but honestly, you can submit anything as well. It's kind of open for submissions. Obviously, we'd love to see folks ripping Gravity Baseball, but if you're going to the National and you get one of these silver packs or these black packs and you get something big in there, we'd love to see those hits. uh, from the national too, or even if you're just hitting stuff like on streams, uh, you know, with other folks in the community breakers or going out and buying into the hobby shop and opening there, like we'd love to see anything and everything, uh, that folks are there. So on a athlete.com slash highlights, uh, is that link and for you bella you mentioned going to the national uh definitely stop by the booth because the silver packs are going to have some women's sports in there so you might be able to find a little mixture some gymnastics some volleyball in there uh that's one of the things obviously that we work hard on uh is to get those women's sports representation out there so getting some softball some volleyball some gymnastics in those packs as well uh you know big names maybe even i don't know i can't say for certain but maybe there'll be some more jordan child stuff in there You've piqued my interest because I actually said I was like, OK, I need to like figure out what cards I want to get at the National. I don't like, you know, sports cards aren't huge for me. I'm more of into the Pokemon and gymnastics. So I was like, maybe I can try to find some gymnastics cards. And that's definitely going to be where I'm heading. So shop on it, athlete.com use code collector nation at checkout to receive 15% off your first order or go check them out at the national. I'll probably be there ripping some gymnastics packs. If I'm lucky getting that Jordan child's auto, if I'm even luckier, maybe that's where my luck will turn around. Any final thoughts, Leonard?
