Kachi Gloves — custom slowpitch softball first base glove

A First Base Glove Built for the Slowpitch Game

Slowpitch first basemen take more throws per hour than any position on the field outside of catcher. You need secure scoops on short-hoppers, a forgiving pocket for off-line throws, and leather that holds its pocket shape across 60+ games a year.

Kachi's custom slowpitch first base glove is built for that grind. 12.5″–13″ sizing, Japanese Kip leather, deeper pocket than baseball first base mitts because slowpitch throws tend to be less precise, reinforced palm for the thousand-plus impacts a slowpitch first baseman absorbs per season.

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.
