How a Pro Baseball Glove is Made at The Mizuno Pro Glove Factory


PBR Staff

 

Mizuno takes pride in their glove-making process and invited our friends at What Pros Wear out to Haga to see how a professional glove is made. Ko Keshimoto, the Glovemeister oversees a team of highly skilled technicians at the Mizuno pro glove Factory in Haga, Japan, as they hand-make some of the world's best ball gloves. 

Mizuno’s Haga factory makes gloves for about 40% of Japan's Nippon professional baseball league and some of MLB's best defenders. To make a glove worthy of baseball’s web gem wizards, it takes teamwork, laser precision, and good old-fashioned sweat. 

PBR’s favorite gloves are Mizuno, and it’s not just us. Mizuno work with some of the best players in the world, including top MLB players:

  • Andrelton Simmons

  • Nick Ahmed

  • Didi Gregorius

  • Fernando Tatis Jr.

For these top-flight pros, Mizuno takes the time to make the glove the singular shape and feel that a player needs to complete that final and most important step to the glove making process: Making the Play in the field!

For over a century professional ballplayers have been making their plays with Mizuno gloves and that is one of the major reasons Mizuno is the official glove partner of PBR.
