KANSAS CITY, Mo. - July 2, 2015 - PRLog -- Former World Series MVP and two-time Cy Young Winner Bret Saberhagen has added a new social component in his effort to connect with fans.

Fans can ask Saberhagen burning baseball questions through his social media platforms using the hashtag #AskSabes, and Saberhagen chooses one question each week to answer.

Saberhagen recognized the value of connecting with fans on video early on by utilizing the video platform Spreecast to respond to fan questions. Video is currently the hottest content on Facebook. The platform recently reported the number of videos posted to the social site per person in the U.S. has increased by 94% over the last year, and that 50% of Americans who use Facebook on a daily basis also watch at least 1 video on the platform every day.

The #AskSabes segments are produced and published with the help of Sports Marketing Partners, a sports marketing firm based out of Seattle.
