Russell Martin took a little time away from the Spring grind to chat with WPW about his gear choices, including his Rawlings glove and chest protector. We don’t want to bombard you with Blue Jays, but we had gotten several requests for a catcher, and Martin was the only catcher we were able to chat with. His insight into why he chose these specific items is worth a watch for any catcher.
Here’s a few closer looks at some of his gear:
Along with the Yadi chest protector, Martin’s set is AVAILABLE, and even in Blue Jays colors (not in black trim like Martin’s). If you were thinking of getting the Yadi gear, I would make your move, because we’ve heard that the raw materials that go into the Yadi chest protector aren’t easy to come by.
