BullFit Acquires Professional Baseball Expansion Team: Salt Lake Bulls to Debut in 2026
SALT LAKE CITY, UT — April 1, 2025 — BullFit, one of the nation’s fastest-growing performance and wellness brands, announced today the acquisition of a new professional baseball expansion franchise: the Salt Lake Bulls. The team is scheduled to make its debut in the 2026 season, marking a bold step forward in the fusion of elite athletic performance and high-performance nutrition.
The franchise will be based in Salt Lake City and is already generating buzz for its bold ownership model — believed to be the first time a supplement company has taken majority control of a professional sports team.
“This is more than just an expansion team,” said BullFit CEO and Co-Founder Harrison Mitchell. “This is a vision for the future of performance. The Salt Lake Bulls aren’t just going to play baseball — they’re going to redefine it.”
In keeping with that mission, the Bulls are planning to debut with their own proprietary training and equipment system, including BullFit’s newest innovation: Bullnado Bats.
The bats — designed in-house by BullFit Labs — feature a unique vortex-core construction intended to maximize torque and swing speed. The announcement comes amid controversy over the New York Yankees' rumored “Torpedo Bats,” which have sparked debate over fairness and tech-enhanced gear in pro baseball.
“We’re not trying to start a bat war,” Mitchell said. “But if it happens… we’re ready.”
The Bulls will play at the soon-to-be-built BullPen Stadium, a high-performance facility designed for both player optimization and fan experience. Features will include cryotherapy recovery zones, an in-house supplement bar, and the Rage Cage, a velocity simulator where fans can test their swing with replica Bullnado Bats.
While formal approval from the league is still pending, BullFit remains confident. “We’ve initiated conversations with the appropriate people,” Mitchell added. “We’re assuming no news is good news.”
As for how the team will stay fueled? That’s where BullFit’s signature products come into play.
From Bodacious Pre-Workout — designed for explosive energy without the crash — to the smooth daily formula in Cowabunga, and their tropical electrolyte blend Hydrate, every player in the Bulls organization will be powered by the same products that built BullFit’s cult following.
The team’s travel and training gear will also feature BullFit’s signature apparel, including the Yolo Performance Polo and the Everyday Crew Bag | 25L, merging style, function, and high-performance comfort.
Fans can visit bullfit.com to reserve Founding Fan Status, vote on uniform designs, and sign up for the BullPen Club newsletter to receive early access to Bullnado gear drops and behind-the-scenes coverage as the team ramps up for its historic 2026 debut.
