Thank you WPW for the Origins series. As a Baseball glove maker myself (though not yet at the MEISTER level, still a long way to go), I appreciate your new video series so people get to admire exactly how Baseball gloves are made as well as the people behind them. Excited to watch Ito-san and his team on your next video!
My infield glove is a mizuno and I love it; I've had it for like 6 years. My catchers mitt is a Wilson, and my outfield glove is a Rawlings. I love them all, but my mizuno is definitely my favorite, even though I play catcher 85% of the time.
This is awesome and I loved it, but clearer explanation would be appreciated. Why did he start making gloves for Ichiro? Were all of Ichiro's previous gloves produced by the former Mizuno glove meister? Did he then retire? Or did Ichiro wear a different company's glove prior to that season when he rejected those six? Was there any specific reason why they were rejected? Why did he make 50? While many ballplayers use the same gamer for multiple seasons, did Ichiro change gloves more regularly? I can guess at the answer for most of these questions, but it seems to me if you're going to go to all the trouble and expense to go to the one person (besides Ichiro himself) who could answer all these questions, why not find out more details to then share with your audience. You clearly are skilled in videography, so why not add more details and turn it into more of a 15 minute feature rather than a 5 minute clip? I'm looking forward to the rest of these Mizuno origins videos, regardless. This is a really good idea.
I had a really good Mizuno glove. Everything about it was perfect to snag balls from third base except that the pocket was TOO deep. I couldn't pull the ball out quick enough.
if you want the best mizuno, go to the japanese site for custom, the US one is the watered down version. Checkout swallow sports and the custom section, there you can get made in Japan mizuno pro orders that are pro issue quality. All their cuts and designs will be japanese style and a bit more expensive than here, but it's definitely worth it. If you really want to bring it up another notch you can get the Mizuno premium selection order or mizuno haga order, the kip they use on there is the best of the best.
Two of my favorites Ichiro and Griffey both rocked the trapeze.
Ichiro was one tough customer. Mizuno's Haga gloves are some of the best money can buy
This was an incredible story! Ichiro has always been one of my favorite players ever. He even introduced me and inspired me to the trapeze web. 🐐
Thanks very much for the comment. Glad you liked it !

Just wish the custom builder were better if so people including me would buy more of them

哈，台灣有個賣手套網紅講錯，是50個
So if my Mizuno is 44 years old, does that mean he made it (maybe)?
tatis is with SSK
He was in 2019. In 2020 he’s wearing a Mizuno glove.
