VERO BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, August 1, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- HiCast Sports Network, a leading video streaming platform for youth and amateur sports, will provide free livestream viewing Aug. 3-16 to MLB.com and within the HiCast Sports Network platform of the 2025 Nike RBI World Series at the historic Jackie Robinson Training Complex (JRTC) with Senior Baseball playing Aug. 3-8, Junior Baseball playing Aug. 4-9 and Softball playing Aug. 11-16. HiCast Sports Network and JRTC began their partnership in 2024 and expanded it in June with HiCast now streaming all Major League Baseball (MLB) youth development events at the complex.

Nike Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (Nike RBI) is MLB’s youth outreach program that provides administrative, programmatic and infrastructural resources for organizations serving underserved communities globally. HiCast Sports Network covered the Nike RBI Baseball and Softball World Regional in June at JRTC to allow families in Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and other developing markets outside the continental US to watch live free and on-demand. JRTC celebrates Jackie Robinson's enduring legacy and inspires the future of baseball and softball by bringing youth athletes, families and fans closer to the game in meaningful ways.

"Our HiCast Sports Network partnership continues to grow this year as we now stream all of the MLB youth events in partnership with them for MLB.com," said Vice President Rachelle Madrigal who oversees operations for the JRTC for MLB's Baseball and Softball Development Department.

HiCast Sports Network increases visibility for youth athletes and contributes to the MLB 'PLAY BALL' initiative connecting young people with baseball and softball and helping close equity gaps in access to the game by livestreaming key events held at the JRTC, such as the Nike RBI Regionals, the Hank Aaron Invitational, and the upcoming Nike RBI World Series World Series.

The Nike RBI World Series will be available to watch live or anytime on-demand through HiCast Sports Network on desktop or mobile devices. Users who want to watch anytime on-demand and save and share highlights may purchase a 7-Day or Monthly subscription. Games remain accessible for 90 days, allowing athletes and families to replay, save and share their favorite Moments That Matter.
