Shohei Ohtani’s 2022 pitching glove looks like Asics put a basketball in a blender and put it together with whatever came out.

Shohei Ohtani’s Asics Gold Stage bat has evolved over his time in the MLB. While he started his career with Japanese Ash, Ohtani hit the bulk of his homers with Maple before switching to Birch for 2022. We spoke to a few manufacturers about this recently, and there is some […]

Marcus Stroman announced in March that he’d be rolling out his own footwear brand, Shugo, after spending most of his career with Jordan and adidas. The way his partnership with Jordan ended might have sparked the initiative to create his own line in 2018. At the time, Stroman announced his […]
Marcus Stroman, with his Gold Glove credentials, has settled into a glove pattern, the PRO200, and is now tinkering with it in ways that we have not seen. Namely, Stroman has completely done away with a finger opening—no fastback and no traditional opening where you’d see his fingers. This might […]
