From the Founders

Pitchers are athletes first, and that includes fielding your position. The closed-basket web conceals all standard grips. The pocket is medium-depth because pitchers need to read the ball quickly on comebackers — deeper pockets are for fielders, not for the mound. Weight is managed through Japanese Kip — when you've thrown 100 pitches, every ounce on your glove hand matters.

Designed by pitchers. Tested in Miami.

Kachi was started by two former MLB pitchers — Julio Teherán, two-time All-Star with six consecutive Opening Day starts for the Atlanta Braves (tied with Warren Spahn), and Carlos Castillo, who pitched for the White Sox and Red Sox across an 18-season career that took him through Japan’s NPB and Taiwan’s CPBL — the leagues where Japanese Kip leather is the professional standard.

Every Kachi pattern is field-tested at Kachi Baseball, Carlos’s training academy in Miami, before it goes into production. Built with Japanese Kip — 30% lighter and roughly 2× stronger than steerhide. Free heritage-flag embroidery for every Latin & Caribbean baseball nation. Lifetime craftsmanship guarantee.
