We asked WPW’s college-level grinders to send us in their pics from glove day a couple of weeks ago. The returns have been bountiful. Here’s the best of the best, starting with University of San Francisco SS @ngiarratano6‘s gorgeous Rawlings H-Web.
Fellow USF middle infielder @afs23 isn’t hurting for glove swag either.
@lgdavis2, 2B for the Ohio State Buckeyes, sent in a couple looks at his new Nike MVP Select, which is a flat-out showstopper. One of the sexiest gloves these eyes have seen.
Davis also showed off OSU’s Huarache Pros for 2016.
A couple of other Nike schools in on the MVP Select action, Duke (@duke_base) and University of Texas (@UTbaseballEquipment), below.
Texas was the first school we saw with these babies. It’ll be interesting to see if the gloves have improved from last year’s debut. We had a UNC ballplayer weigh in on the MVP Select gloves just yesterday.
Cal Baptist University infielder @jakegallaway with a Pro Preferred that’s all class. That gold paint is simply decadent.
Some Easton MAKO gloves sent in by these ballers (in order of appearance):
- East Carolina pitcher @joeingle36‘s dual hinge
- Arkansas infielder @mike3bernal‘s single post
- Fresno State infield @_franchise_‘s I-Web
- Minnesota OFer @traxler_23‘s H-web and teammate Alex Boxwell’s trap
Franklin Pierce pitchers @tanner_bird & @tnorts‘ Rawlings masterpieces.
Baylor infielder @joshbissonette‘s Wilson A2000.
Army pitcher @MGTrey1‘s self-customized Rawlings complete with American flag patch.
We even got a couple of pro guys to send in some heat:
White Sox prospect Peter Tago sent in his Gloveworks piece, which stays true to his “Petey Pistola” nickname. You can get a better angle on that beautiful web on our Instagram.
Jeff Hoffman (@jeffhoffman23), #9 overall pick in 2014 and one of the big pieces in the Tulo deal, sent us his new SHA|DO two-piece for next year. Ugh. Why do the Rockies always have it so good?!
And lastly, a quick look at UNC’s hat selection for the year:
’cause why have one hat when you can have five?
