Custom Pitcher's Glove – Designed by Carlos Castillo
Custom Pitcher's Glove – Designed by Carlos Castillo
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.

- Pinky & Index Protection: Double-welted reinforcement on heavy-use fingers.

"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."
