Each year, Major League Baseball (MLB) and Fast Traffic Events trust Solomon Group to reimagine their Draft broadcast. In 2022, the team made history with a fully outdoor draft, filmed under a custom-designed amphitheatre. While simultaneously being broadcast to MLB networks and ESPN, hundreds of thousands of at-home-viewers and a live studio audience, which included baseball fans and the families of in-house prospects, joined together to celebrate All-Stars Week like never before.
In 2021, after the pandemic, Solomon Group was eager to get back into events, and lucky enough that one of our first major comebacks was the MLB Draft. After working with Frank Supovitz of Fast Traffic Events at the MLS All Star Skills Challenge, Supovitz brought us on board to up the production value at the Draft.
With so much success is 2021, our scope doubled in 2022. The MLB Draft once again served as a homerun for both Fast Traffic Events and Solomon Group, ensuring a World Series-level win for baseball fans everywhere. The show was the #2 most-viewed Draft in MLB history, second only to our broadcast in 2021.
