First female Gold Glove winner joins sports
betting leader
JERSEY
CITY, N.J., March 31,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BetMGM, a leading sports betting
and digital gaming company, announced today the signing of AJ
Andrews, Major League Baseball Network (MLBN) personality and the
first female to win the Rawlings Gold Glove Award, as the company's
newest brand ambassador and content creator. Throughout the
upcoming baseball season, Andrews will appear on behalf of BetMGM
in various broadcast opportunities, social media content and
participate in fan events.
"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."
Andrews' impact on the sports scene started at Louisiana State University where she led the Lady
Tigers to two Women's College World Series appearances. She 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.
Andrews continues to garner awards and accomplishments such as the
Rally Spike Award as the league's stolen base leader and was
featured in ESPN The Magazine's The Body Issue.
Off the field, Andrews works diligently with community
non-profit organizations to help mentor and build confidence in
young women. Andrews 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.

Officer, BetMGM, said, "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."
