This offseason, @Mizuno USA invited @What Pros Wear to Japan to meet one of the world’s best ballglove makers, “The Glovemeister,” Ko Kishimoto, and to see him and his glove technicians at work. In Episode 1 of 3, we’ll find out what it takes to be the Glovemeister FROM the Glovemeister.
The Glovemeister tells us how he came to be Ichiro’s Glove Craftsman. Hint: It wasn’t easy!
Be sure to check out Episode 2 (How a Glove is Made) and Episode 3 (How a Bat is Made) coming soon.
Shoutout to Mizuno USA for making this possible.
