Forme Science Named Official Posture & Recovery Partner of MLB Players, Inc.
First-of-its-kind partnership brings Self-Correcting Smart Posture Wearable™, Muscle Memory Tech™, and Posture Score™ to professional baseball
NEW YORK, NY — May 13, 2026 — Forme Science, the pioneering U.S.-engineered health-centric posture data company and creator of the world's first Self-Correcting Smart Posture Wearable™, today announced a landmark partnership designating Forme Science as the Official Posture & Recovery Partner of MLB Players, Inc.
The partnership introduces Self-Correcting Smart Posture Wearable™, Muscle Memory Tech™, and Posture Score™ to the demands of a 162-game season, where recovery is not a luxury, but the foundation of longevity.
Designed for the relentless cadence of professional play — cross-country travel, overnight flights, and the cumulative toll of a full season — Forme's patented wearables work continuously in real time, building postural muscle strength, generating proprioceptive alignment data through Posture Score™, and accelerating musculoskeletal recovery. On the road. In the air. At rest.
"Our players put everything into every game, every flight, every season”, said Evan Kaplan, President, MLB Players, Inc. “Partnering with Forme Science reflects our commitment to giving players access to the most advanced recovery tools available — not just in the weight room or training facility, but in the moments between games that define how they show up the next day."
A growing number of professional baseball pitchers — drawn to Forme's ability to reduce the cumulative shoulder and postural load of a long season — have made Forme's wearables part of their daily recovery routine, during travel, sleep, and alignment training. MLB Players, Inc. partnership now brings that same standard of care to the entire baseball community.
"Baseball is a durability sport. The player who can perform in Game 162 at the same level as Opening Day wins. Forme is built for that athlete — the one who understands that recovery is not the absence of effort, but its highest expression."
— Dr. Stephen Liu, MD — Founder & Chairman, Forme Science |
THE PARTNERSHIP
Under the agreement, Forme Science will provide MLB Players, Inc. members with access to its full product line — including travel, sleep, and recovery wearables engineered with Intelligent Construct™ technology. The partnership encompasses player education, Posture Score™ assessments, clinical-grade posture support resources, and co-branded campaign initiatives including player testimonials and editorial storytelling.
POSTURE SCORE™ & POSTURE METRICS™
At the center of the partnership is Forme’s proprietary Posture Score™ — a health-centric data platform that quantifies whole-body posture across five key zones and tracks improvement over time. For MLB players, Posture Score™ establishes a baseline for musculoskeletal health and delivers a measurable framework for monitoring posture under the demands of a 162-game season.
Paired with Posture Metrics™, the system provides actionable insights into the postural variables most predictive of durability, recovery quality, and long-term performance. Posture Metrics™ delivers simple, measurable insights into posture and recovery — helping users track alignment, reduce pain, and improve how the body moves and feels every day.
