MAX CLARK We got the chance to sit down with top MLB 2023 prospect, Max Clark, to discuss living a baseball lifestyle, and how to use social media to build a successful brand.

After that meeting, Max Clark was drafted in the first round of the 2023 MLB draft, with the third overall pick and is now a professional baseball outfielder in the Detroit Tigers organization.

Max Clark always makes sure to stress the importance of family in his life. He credits the sacrifices that they made to allow him to follow his dream, and makes sure to always honor them in everything that he does.

We talked to Clark about his journey in preparation for being a MLB prospect, and learned about his rigorous training and practice schedule. Clark was actually cut from a team for being too small after his eighth grade year, so he hit the gym and never stopped. He found a love for the gym, and advises to find a process that you understand and love that you can translate and make fun.

Social media was a natural transition for Clark, as he loves networking, meeting new people and hearing their stories. He loves being a role model for kids, and hopes that they can relate to the everyday activities that he shares. He even takes the time to respond to DM’s and really give back to the fans that he’s accumulating along his path.

No bio on Clark is complete without a mention of his shoe collection. Shoes are the one thing that he loves to splurge on, so he’s thankful that there are so many colorways and cool stuff that you can do with shoes so he’ll never run out of options!

Clark shared his most memorable moment with us, while playing for Team USA, standing on a podium with a medal and American flag draped around his back, and listening to the national anthem play.

He loved the experience and cherishes the memories that he made.

To live a baseball lifestyle, according to Max Clark, means you can’t just devote a little bit of time to it. It’s gotta be something different. You have to make a lot of sacrifices to really make some things happen. And that’s just what he did.

STORE OPENING

Baseball Lifestyle has become one of the most reputable and well-known baseball merchandising companies in the country.

A once fully eCommerce company has since expanded with its first-ever retail store at Lasorda Legacy Park in Yaphank, New York. Josh Shapiro and the rest of the staff were overjoyed to have their apparel hit the shelves, and the store has been a massive success in its first year.

Parents, kids, and players can go into the store and buy some of their favorite BL101 gear, ranging from shirts to custom, hand-painted bats. The store is open during events, games, and tournaments held at the park and can be found in the batting cage facility located in the middle of the complex.

In 2024, BL101 is looking to add at least three more retail stores in areas surrounding Yankee Stadium, Citi Field, and complexes like Lasorda Legacy Park where fans from all over the country can come and find some of their favorite merchandise.

A Note from our Founders

Every year since 2017 we have been showing up to try and create the best brand that baseball has ever seen. One that focuses on quality, community, and the game we all love.

This year is especially important to us, because this year, Josh becomes the age I was when we first met nearly 14 years ago. A young, enthusiastic kid had an idea, and a (sorta) young coach set out to help him bring it to life.

Today, you are reading this, which means you are thinking about buying from Baseball Lifestyle, like hundreds of thousands of other die-hard baseball fans around the world, and for that we are truly so thankful and proud.

Proud that our products, brand, stories, and community have found their way to you, and thankful that we continue to develop products and content that resonates and builds the game of baseball every day.

So thank you for shopping Baseball Lifestyle 101 this holiday season, and for remembering that every season is BSBL SZN at BL101.com.

We wouldn’t be here without you!

THANK YOU Bill and Josh (and the rest of Team BL101)
