WPW built a “Javy-inspired” Alpha Huarache for his last pair of cleats because we felt bad that the “PR” pattern PEs weren’t buyable. Our version wasn’t far off from Baez’ most recent favorites, pictured here. Great minds… The best part is that these are buyable. Get them (almost identical) at […]
A switch to Rawlings puts Rougned Odor in a Pro Preferred Pro Mesh that is only available as a pro order glove unfortunately. Odor’s PL217 glove is an 11.5″ I-Web. The closest alternative is still quite handsome, and is available at the link. Also pictured (all-red one) is Odor’s trainer.
Javier Baez’ glove is one of a stable of SSK’s that Baez keeps in rotation. His top choice lately is this black mesh one-piece, which you can make on SSK’s custom builder with the following specs: Size: 11” Web: 1-Piece Back: Mesh Black Palm and Web: Royal Blue top- grain steerhide leather Back Style: Open […]
The blue BG’s and the blue wrist tape is so swaggy. Javier Baez’ Nike MVP batting gloves are available on eBay at pretty attractive prices at the link.

Baby Bomber Gleyber Torres swings a Jorge Soler model Marucci JS68 Maple at 34 inches, 31.5 ounces. He likely picked it up while he was a fellow prospect of Soler in the Cubs system. The JS68 is a variation of the CB15, available at the link.
When Gleyber Torres gets his new cleats in, we’re the first to see them. Gley (@gleyberdavid) has been a WPW follower (and contributor) since he was in the Cubs system, so you know he’s got plus swag. We created every single Nike Clipper cleat that Gleyber sent through to us […]
Another rendition of the Clipper ’17 for Gleyber Torres, and this time its the Independence Day variety. These cleats, as you can see, are designed to compliment each other in honor of the American flag. With his remarkable performance to date, Gleyber is working his way into some SMU cleats […]
Gleyber Torres’ glove is a stock Rawlings Heart of the Hide PRONP2 pattern that he picked up at Spring Training. Its an 11.25″ inch glove, which is about as small as an MLB glove gets. The fact that Torres wears an off-the-shelf glove as the Yankees second baseman speaks volumes […]
Joe “Cool” swings a T141, a balanced cut swung by ’98 AL batting champ Bernie Williams for much of his career. This one is available on Slugger’s awesome new custom builder.
