Jose Altuve has always trusted former teammate Marwin Gonzalez to break in his gloves just right. He has said he doesn’t break them in at all, just hands them off to Marwin, who then forms the glove and gives it back to Altuve. In 2019, this trust in Marwin (now […]
Altuve still swings the Victus JA27 33 inch, 31 oz Maple, full cup bat that we have seen for several seasons. The JA27 is like a 238, and the closest alternative to the JA27 that Victus sells online is the APV for $190 as a custom model. You can shop […]
Jose Altuve has welcomed the New Balance 4040v5 cleat to his locker, wearing a silver metallic and white colorway of the cleat in games while also mixing in the older 4040v4s. The 4040v5 is lighter than its predecessor by 0.3 ounces, but is it better looking? What do you think? […]

Ketel Marte rocked a new style for Easton, the Pro X, in black and white. In our opinion, Easton is making some of the best looking batting gloves in the game—these are really sharp, though we would expect Marte to have a flashier colorway. Easton is offering the Pro X […]
Ketel Marte is a believer in Birch wood, swinging a B45 PIKE4 custom model. According to B45: “The PIKE4 features a flared knob for great control. Its long barrel will give a very balanced feel. The smaller barrel profile allows us to use very dense wood used to turn this […]
