The Glove a 2× All-Star Helped Design A custom pitcher's glove built around one non-negotiable: the batter can't see your grip. Designed by former MLB pitcher Carlos Castillo — 18 years across the Majors, Japan's NPB, and Taiwan's CPBL — with input from co-founder Julio Teherán, who made six consecutive Opening Day starts for the Atlanta Braves wearing a similar spec. Why Pitchers Choose This Glove Over Retail A retail pitcher's glove is designed for the entire pitcher market — from little-league righties to big-league closers. It's a compromise. This glove isn't. The closed web completely conceals grip from batter sightlines. The pocket depth is set for pitch readiness, not fielding — a pitcher's glove is a concealment tool first, a defensive tool second. Japanese Kip leather runs roughly 30% lighter than standard steerhide, which matters every single pitch over 200 innings. The break-in profile is optimized for a pitcher's delivery and follow-through, not an infielder's glove-to-throwing-hand transfer. Specs That Came From the Mound, Not a Spec Sheet Closed Basket Web (default): Full grip concealment. Options for Basketweave, Two-Piece, and Modified Trap. Pocket Depth: Medium — designed to cradle the ball for pre-pitch readiness without restricting glove-to-throwing-hand release on comebackers. Length Options: 11.75″ · 12″ · 12.25″. Former MLB pitcher's recommendation for most adult pitchers: 12″. Japanese Kip Leather: Same tier as NPB-grade professional gloves. Sourced from the factories Carlos used during his Japan and Taiwan seasons. Professional Break-In: Every glove is steam-shaped in-house using techniques Carlos learned across 18 pro seasons. Arrives game-ready. Back Options: Conventional or one-piece closed back. Pinky & Index Protection: Double-welted reinforcement on heavy-use fingers. Fully Customizable 14 leather colors + 4 specialty fades Unlimited lacing color combinations Personal embroidery: name, number, verse, team logo Free heritage-flag embroidery: Colombian, Dominican, Puerto Rican, Venezuelan, Cuban, Mexican, Panamanian, Nicaraguan — no upcharge Left-hand-throw and right-hand-throw both available From Carlos "As a pitcher, your glove is part of your arsenal. This glove gives you every advantage I learned in 18 years of professional baseball — from hiding your grip to making the defensive plays that win games." — Carlos Castillo, former MLB pitcher (Chicago White Sox 1997–1999, Boston Red Sox 2001) What Comes With Every Custom Build Lifetime craftsmanship guarantee Shipped from Miami, USA Typical build: 6–8 weeks after specifications are approved Before You Order Show more
