Stockton Ports News Release
STOCKTON, California - The Stockton Ports today announced they will be one of 16 communities featured in Minor League Baseball's new multi-year sponsorship with Sunrun (Nasdaq: RUN), the largest dedicated residential solar company in the United States. As the "Preferred Residential Solar Power Provider of Minor League Baseball," Sunrun will share how baseball fans across the country can save 20 percent on their home electricity bills with clean power from the sun.
To kick off the partnership and the 2016 season, Ports shortstop Mikey White has been selected to Sunrun's "The Future is Bright" lineup. The list consists of one top prospect from each of the 16 local communities that Sunrun serves in partnership with MiLB.
In 2015, White spent his first year of professional baseball in the Oakland Athletics organization with the Short Season-A Vermont Lake Monsters and Single-A Beloit Snappers. In 29 games for the Lake Monsters, White hit .315 with two home runs and 16 RBI.
The Ports will also be hosting "Sunrun Sundays" throughout the season, giving young fans the opportunity to escort players to their on-field positions as part of Sunrun's Jr. All-Stars program.
"Mikey White is one of our organization's top prospects, and we're happy to see him receive recognition in Sunrun's 'The Future is Bright' lineup," said Bryan Meadows, general manager of the Ports. "The new partnership with Sunrun gives us the opportunity to further develop the family atmosphere at Banner Island Ballpark by incorporating 'Sunrun Sundays' activities and promoting home solar power."
