Bruce Bolt batting gloves have been majorly popular amongst the younger guns in the sport. Their Major League presence continues to grow, as we discussed here. I grabbed a pair of long cuff batting gloves from their Chrome Series via DICK’S Sporting Goods and used them pretty extensively in the […]

Being based in New York City, I went straight to the city’s team – New York University’s varsity baseball team – with the 2024 DeMarini Voodoo One via DICK’S Sporting Goods to grab their thoughts. Nick and Cam each have had very successful college careers and had terrific things to […]

Every year, back to 2013, we track the top glove brands worn by MLB starters.
