    #29: Making Ken Griffey Jr's Rawlings Glove Legendary

    Fresh out of college in the early 1990s, Roman Bormet joined on with Rawlings. Specifically, he was a part of their caravan that traveled the United States every baseball season starting during Spring Training and going through October. His job on the caravan: demonstrate firsthand to fans how a baseball glove is made. Roman became immersed in glove function and technology. Plus, he knew all of the nuances that came with lacing baseball gloves. But best of all was that his new employment opportunity put him face-to-face with some of Major League Baseball's biggest stars. Further, his unique task was addressing the glove needs of big leaguers.One day Roman found himself with Ken Griffey Jr. Griffey was a Rawlings man and on this particular day, Bormet thought he'd make a suggestion for mixing up the look of Junior's all-black Rawlings outfield mitt. He suggested that Griffey Jr allow him to add tan lace to his black glove. The Kid took handed over his glove, Roman added the tan lace and Griffey's legendary TB24 Rawlings pattern was born.However, it wasn't only Griffey who accepted mitt advice from Roman Bormet during this time. He also influenced the web choice and design of both Mark McGwire's and Alex Rodriguez's gloves when they were lighting the baseball world on fire in the early and mid-1990s.Thirty years after his career began on the caravan, Roman Bormet still finds himself working for Rawlings as a Key Account Manager, helping brands like JustGloves have a first class experience when working with Rawlings!

    #27 :SCOTT CARPENTER - 1st MLB Synthetic Glove & Modifying Ben Zobrist's Gamer

    Scott Carpenter crafted the very first synthetic baseball glove used in an MLB game in 2011. And the list of MLB player gloves he's worked on is impressive, including the glove of the 2016 World Series MVP, Ben Zobrist. In the early 2000's, Scott left a successful career in the New York City art scene to pursue his youthful passion of baseball gloves. This took him to rural Ava, MO to work at a Rawlings factory as a janitor during the final year it produced gloves in the United States. While in Ava, he picked everyone's brain in the factory about glove design, including the legendary Rawlings designer, Bob Clevenhagen. From Ava, his next move was to Cooperstown, NY to learn the full history of baseball gloves at the Hall of Fame and predict their future. He determined the future was synthetics. With this conviction in mind, he started his brand, Carpenter Trade. And as mentioned earlier, he eventually crafted the first all synthetic glove used by an MLB player named Brian Gordon of the New York Yankees. At the same time, he was crafting the most ergonomic hand stalls for gloves and started getting requests from MLB players, like Ben Zobrist, to have their gloves modified.Ultimately, his work started to be noticed in the market and Marucci picked him up to help lead their glove design team. In his time at Marucci, his synthetic gloves and ergonomic hand stalls became widely known through Marucci's C-Mod and C-Type gloves. After a handful of years at Marucci, Scott is back working on his own. Currently, he is crafting Nexguard thumb protectors, which are considered by many to be the premier catcher thumb guard available. And very soon he hopes to be back crafting or modifying gloves for the best baseball players in the world.

    #26 : JEREMY GUTHRIE - Custom Cleats + Baseball Glove Design

    Jeremy Guthrie knows the connection between the design of baseball cleats and that of baseball gloves. Since his retirement from professional baseball in 2017, Jeremy has worked to make Custom Cleats the premier location for athletes looking to convert sneakers to athletic cleats. His keen eye for footwear started in his youth with an appreciation of the Jordan 1 sneakers that his older brother's middle school basketball team rocked one winter. From there, he was always on the quest to grab the latest footwear from Nike. Fast forward to late high school and Jeremy found himself as a premier pitching prospect for Major League Baseball teams. From there he embarked on a journey in which he was drafted three times and eventually landed with the Cleveland Guardians (at that time the Indians). During his grind through the minor leagues, he decided to refresh some of his equipment. He ended up changing his glove to model the Rawlings glove worn by Red Sox legend and Cy Young winner, Pedro Martinez. New glove in hand, Jeremy went on to start over 270 games across parts of 13 MLB seasons and he never wavered from that model of glove.During his run in pro baseball he crossed paths with the company, Custom Cleats. They converted a number of pairs of sneakers into cleats for him during his career and in 2015 as his Kansas City Royals were competing in the World Series, Jeremy signed a deal to own a portion of Custom Cleats. And since retiring he has become the sole owner of Custom Cleats.As the baseball glove market grows each and every year, it shows a lot of signs that it is becoming something similar to that of the sneaker market. The desire to draw attention to a glove due to its look and design continues to increase. As well, gloves are being collected as pieces of art nowadays separate from their ability to defend balls on a baseball field.We hope this interview with Jeremy profiles both the sneaker and glove industries and sheds light on their similarities!Check out Jeremy's Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/therealjguts/Check our Custom Cleats' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/customcleats/Visit the Custom Cleats Site: https://www.customcleats.com/Shop gloves from JustGloves: https://www.justballgloves.com/Questions or Suggestions?E-mail: experts@justgloves.comToll Free Telephone: 1-866-321-GLOV (4568)We hope that you enjoy Beyond The Glove!

    #23 : The Fielding Bible Awards vs Rawlings Gold Glove Awards

    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 26, 2024 17:55


    The Fielding Bible Awards are a mystery to many fans. In contrast, the average fan knows plenty about the Rawlings Gold Glove Award. The Beyond The Glove Podcast takes on the responsibility of enlightening fans about the 3 differences between the two awards: (1) Who votes on the awards (2) The amount of the awards (3) The transparency of the voting results. Further, we tackle the topic of what each award might be lacking in contrast to the other. The Rawlings Gold Glove Award is a shining example of prestige and marketing while it may not rely as heavily on statistical analysis as the Fielding Bible Awards. In opposition, the election process of the Fielding Bible Awards is steeped in examination of advanced defensive metrics. However, there is a lack of promotion surrounding the award which is probably the sole reason that average fans have not heard of it. Further, this episode takes fans further as we break down the awards from a glove brand standpoint so that you know which brand was used the most among winners. And we don't stop there.
