Building custom baseball gear is about fit, feel, and identity. When your glove pattern, leather, and pocket match your fielding style, when your bat profile lines up with your swing path, and when your batting gloves and protective guards are tailored to your preferences, you show up more confident and more consistent. Use this guide to plan a complete custom setup and understand how the online 3D builder streamlines the process from concept to game day.

Custom Baseball Gloves

Custom fielding gloves start with leather selection, then move to position pattern and size, followed by visual design and personalization. The result is a glove that looks the part and performs the way you play.

Leather Options

• Cowhide: Thick with a quick break in. Ideal for youth and casual play where comfort and reliability matter right away.
• Japanese Kip: Lightweight and highly durable with a refined grain. Favored by advanced players for consistent feel and long term shape retention.

If you want a glove to soften quickly, choose cowhide. If you prefer lighter weight and longevity, choose Japanese kip. Both are durable and suitable for serious use when properly cared for.

What You Can Customize

The 3D glove builder lets you assign colors to the palm, webbing, welting, lacing, and stitching. You can color each finger and the thumb individually to create subtle accents or bold designs. Add custom text, your team logo, and a flag mark to make identification easy at practices and tournaments.

Position Patterns and Sizing

• Infield: Shorter patterns with shallower pockets for faster transfers. I, H, or single post webs support quick plays.
• Outfield: Longer patterns with deeper pockets for tracking fly balls and securing catches at full extension.
• First Base: Mitt designs with extra length and supportive edges for picks and tags.
• Catcher: Heavily padded designs with closed webs built to handle velocity and frame pitches. Expect a longer break in.

Fit should be snug without pinching and allow a natural close of the pocket. Size by position first, then refine by how you want the ball to sit in the pocket.

How the 3D Glove Builder Works

1. Select leather: Choose cowhide for fast comfort or kip for lightweight longevity.
2. Pick pattern and size: Match your primary position and fielding style.
3. Design the details: Assign colors to panels and stitching, then add text, number, logo, and flag.
4. Preview in 3D: Rotate and zoom to confirm color balance and legibility.
5. Confirm and submit: Double check handedness, size, and personalization before production.

Break In and Care

Use steady catch sessions and light mallet work to form the pocket. Avoid high heat or soaking. Cowhide generally reaches game ready feel sooner. Kip rewards patience with a long lasting profile. Clean and condition lightly to keep the leather supple.

Custom Baseball Bats

Custom maple bats let you pair a turn profile with your mechanics and strength. You control barrel and handle colors and can add your name or number for identification in shared dugouts.

Adult Turn Profiles

• PRO RS 110 (Balanced): Even swing weight for barrel control and repeatable paths through the zone.
• PRO RS 271 (Slightly Loaded): Subtle barrel mass for added carry without feeling unwieldy.
• PRO RS 13 (End Loaded): More barrel weight for power hitters who like pronounced whip and finish.
• PRO RS 243 (Heavy Loaded): Maximum barrel mass for advanced hitters who can control a heavier feel.

Choose the length you can accelerate on time. If unsure, start balanced and move toward slightly loaded or end loaded as timing and strength improve.

Youth Turn Profiles

• RS 110 / RS 271 / RS 13 / RS 243: Youth versions mirror adult shapes and offer multiple drop options so developing hitters maintain bat speed and form.

Fungo Bats for Coaches

• Fungo RS 11 (Balanced): Predictable barrel control for consistent infield and outfield reps.
• Fungo RS 00 (End Loaded): Heavier feel through contact for deep flies and firm one hoppers.

Custom Elbow and Leg Guards

Custom guards protect confidence at the plate while carrying your team identity. Look for breathable air mesh exteriors, hard shells with foam and a thin rubber layer for impact management, and elastic straps with molded closures for a secure fit that stays put during aggressive swings and sprints.

• Custom logos: Embroidered branding keeps graphics crisp through long seasons.
• Fit and stability: Elasticized straps with molded closures balance comfort and security.
• Build timeline: Made to order windows apply. Plan ahead so new guards arrive before tournaments.

Design Tips and Checklist

• Lead with function: Choose leather and pattern first, then add color and flair.
• Color with intention: Use two primary colors and reserve laces, welting, and stitching for contrast and readability.
• Unify the set: Match glove accents with bat colors and batting glove details. Carry the same logo treatment onto guards.
• Practical personalization: Names and numbers prevent mix ups and speed gear checks on travel days.
• Preview carefully: Use the 3D view to confirm balance, legibility, and placement before production.
• Schedule break in: Build time for mallet work and catch sessions so gear is game ready on opening day.

FAQs

How should I choose between cowhide and Japanese kip?

Cowhide breaks in fast and feels familiar right away. Japanese kip is lighter with refined grain and long term structure. Pick based on your preference for quick comfort or premium longevity.

What can I personalize on the glove?

You can assign colors to palm, web, welting, lacing, and stitching, color each finger and the thumb, and add text, team logos, and a flag mark for clear identification.

How do I pick the right glove size?

Start with position and age, then refine by how you like the pocket to perform. Infielders often choose smaller for quick transfers, outfielders go larger for reach and security, and first base and catcher patterns are specialized.

Which bat model should I start with?

Balanced models are easiest to control. As timing and strength improve, test slightly loaded or end loaded models for more barrel mass through contact.

Can batting gloves be customized with team branding?

Yes. Choose team colors and add logo, name, and number so gloves are easy to identify and align with uniforms.

What are typical custom build timelines?

Timelines vary by product and season. Place orders early enough to allow for production and any planned break in before tryouts or tournaments.

Build Your Custom Setup

Select your leather and pattern, finalize your 3D glove design, match a bat profile to your swing, coordinate batting gloves for secure grip, and finish with custom guards. Keep colors consistent, keep personalization readable, and give yourself enough time for production and break in. When the details align, your gear will look cohesive and feel natural from first pitch to final out.
