Glove and Demo Day at Velo University

We brought our custom glove builder to Velo University for a glove and demo day, and 16 of their players built and ordered their own Tater® glove right there at the facility. VeloU is a baseball development program with a state-of-the-art training facility in New York, working with players from high school through college and pro.

Custom gloves for the Black Label players

The players in Black Label, VeloU's most exclusive training program, got a special glove deal for the day. They sat down at the builder, picked every color and detail, and saw their glove come together on screen before they ordered. Many of them are Division I commits.

Already swinging Tater

VeloU was already a Tater facility before the gloves came out. Their hitters train with our foam balls and swing both our wood bats and training bats.

Reed's glove in URI colors

One of the players who ordered was Reed, a Black Label athlete committed to the University of Rhode Island, an NCAA Division I program in the Atlantic 10 that plays at Bill Beck Field in Kingston. He built his glove in navy blue and light blue, URI's colors, so it's ready for his senior season and his first fall on campus.

Reed has swung Tater wood bats, including the X4, for about a year and a half. He trusts the bats for their quality and durability, and he trusts our gloves just as much.

Why we do glove days

Glove days let players see and feel the gear up close before they build their own, and they're how we keep growing our relationships with programs. Velo University joins Albertus Magnus, the University of Bridgeport, UConn Avery Point and Western New England on our glove day tour.
