One Glove for the Slowpitch Utility Player
Slowpitch is a different animal. You're playing 3 games on a Saturday. You might be at shortstop in game one and in center field in game two. Your glove needs to do both jobs — and survive another 30 Saturdays like this one across the season.
Kachi's custom slowpitch utility glove is built around that reality. Middle-of-the-spectrum sizing, multi-position pocket depth, Japanese Kip leather for longevity, extra durability where slowpitch players actually wear gloves out — the heel lacing and palm pocket.
Why Japanese Kip on a Slowpitch Glove?
Because you're going to use it for five years. A steerhide glove on a slowpitch schedule shows pocket distortion by year 3. Japanese Kip holds its spec through 1,000+ games.

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.
