BetMGM recruits MLB personality as new brand ambassador
First female winner of the Rawlings Gold Glove Award AJ Andrews links up with US sportsbook
BetMGM has added to its brand ambassador roster with the recruitment of Major League Baseball Network (MLBN) personality AJ Andrews.
Andrews, the first female winner of the Rawlings Gold Glove Award, will also create sports betting content with the sportsbook operator.
Throughout the upcoming baseball season, Andrews will appear on behalf of BetMGM in various broadcast opportunities and social media content as well as participate in fan events.
BetMGM chief revenue officer Matt Prevost welcomed the addition of Andrews to the BetMGM marketing arsenal.
“AJ is an all-around powerhouse who has been a trailblazer in sports throughout her career. BetMGM is proud to welcome her to the team as a new personality in sports betting,” Prevost said.
Andrews began her professional career with the Chicago Bandits in 2015 and, the following year, made history with the Akron Racers as the first woman to win a Rawlings Gold Glove Award, an award previously exclusive to the best defensive fielders in Major League Baseball.
Off the field, Andrews works with community non-profit organizations to help mentor and build confidence in young women.
She has been recognized as an on-air talent as host of the ESPN special, “Unapologetic: The Black Female Athlete”, MLBN’s “Play Ball” and creator of empowHer motivational empowerment discussions.
“I am so grateful for the opportunity to dive further into the sports betting industry as a brand ambassador for BetMGM,” said Andrews.
“As I continue to advocate for more opportunities for women in sports, I’m excited to have this new platform to creatively share and inspire others,” she added.
Current BetMGM brand ambassadors include NBA Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett, NHL legend Wayne Gretzky, former NFL running back Chris Johnson and NFL Super Bowl champion Marshawn Lynch.
