Mizuno’s wooden baseball bats are made by craftsmen who carefully shave down the wood whilst repeatedly making minute adjustments. But even when a piece of wood seems fine at first glance, as it gets shaved down knots can be found. Knots can cause a bat to break when in use, therefore bats with knots cannot be sold as they are made of noncompliant materials.

Mizuno and Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) Group had cooperated under the idea of “wanting to support boys and girls who chase their dreams,” and had developed aluminum baseball bats for children using recycled aluminum from Tokaido Shinkansen trains.

In order to further advance this initiative, the two companies cooperated once again and jointly held a baseball class event.

Bullet trains (shinkansen), which are very popular with children, are being reborn as baseball bats for children.

Baseball gloves are equipment that players want to keep using for as long as possible. But gloves deteriorate after years of use, becoming dirty, frayed, and torn. However, gloves can be used for a long time if they are given the proper care, including repairs.

One of Mizuno's main products is wooden baseball bats.
Their quality is highly appreciated by professional baseball players, especially in Japan.

Maintaining the high quality of wooden baseball bats begins with preparation of the wood material. Hard and resilient top-grade wood such as maple and white ash is selected, and after a thorough drying process, the wood is carved by craftsmen into bats.

Baseball gloves are one of Mizuno's main products.

Each part of the baseball glove is cut from top-grade leather. We are very particular about the quality of the leather, so we take into consideration the elasticity and durability suitable for each part. The manufacturing of our gloves by skilled craftsmen has won the support of many professional baseball players.
