Over time, he has collaborated with iconic brands like Facebook, Universal Music, Hasbro, Ford, Coca-Cola, Warner Bros., Zoo York Skateboard and more. Sket One has also participated in a variety of sports-related projects, including the popular Project 70 with Topps baseball cards and recently with Tater baseball bats, which are featured in Sony’s MLB The Show video game.

“I’m thrilled to be a part of this collaboration and to have the opportunity to fuse my art with some of today’s top players,” said Andrew Yasgar, otherwise known as Sket One.

Ryno Sports plans for this initial partnership with Sket One to launch numerous collaborations with other artists highlighting the game’s top players in a variety of artistic styles that will be appealing to fans in sports, fashion and pop culture.

“This collaboration is the perfect mix of art and sports to create new fans in both worlds,” said Shaun Rachau, founder of Ryno Sports, an MLB Players, Inc. licensee. “This collection will incite a new level of curiosity surrounding our game’s greatest players for new and current baseball fans in the U.S. and around the world.”
