Nick Jonas is joining the big leagues.  Billboard reports the singer is teaming up with the MLB Network, where he’ll contribute content all season long.

The announcement comes a day before baseball’s official Opening Day Thursday. To kick off the partnership, MLB released a teaser for Opening Day featuring Nick’s song, “This Is Heaven.”

According to a release obtained by Billboard, Nick will also narrate an Opening Day feature spotlighting the “hope and optimism a new season brings.” Plus, he’ll participate in a trivia segment with current MLB players called “Answer in the Nick of Time,” which will air on MLB Network’s Play Ball every Saturday at 10:00 a.m. ET beginning April 3.

Thursday, Nick will appear on MLB Network’s morning show MLB Central live at 11:30 a.m. ET to discuss the new partnership, and how he’s a longtime fan of the sport.
