Each of these players has a signature model, allowing enthusiasts to experience mitts specifically designed to meet professional-level demands.
 

Bullpen catchers in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), who handle high volumes of catches and frequently replace their mitts, have been surveyed, with over half selecting HATAKEYAMA as their preferred choice for daily use.
 

Reason 3: Exclusive Specialized Design and Patterns

HATAKEYAMA develops signature catcher’s mitts for its professional endorsers, incorporating unique features such as the Viper Shape design and patented pattern-making techniques.

These designs accommodate various pocket depths, sizes, stability levels, breathability, and lightweight considerations, ensuring optimal performance for catchers.
