Brand Heritage: The Hatakeyama Standard

Since 1985, HATAKEYAMA has defined the peak of professional baseball equipment. Renowned worldwide for its uncompromising leather grading and master craftsmanship, Hatakeyama’s legacy is built on structural durability and flawless pocket retention trusted by pro athletes.

While world-famous for their market-leading catcher mitts, Hatakeyama infuses that exact same obsession with structural stability and leather firmness into their infielder series, crafting top-tier field gloves for serious players.

Third Base Command: 12-Inch Cross Web & Hot Corner Defense

This Special Order 12-inch glove combines a Pearl White shell, deep Chocolate Brown palm, and vibrant Hot Pink welting to deliver high-impact protection and style at the hot corner.

• Classic Cross Web Architecture: The 12-inch profile paired with a reinforced Cross Web provides a versatile, deep pocket. The cross-structured bars absorb hard-hit line drives and high-velocity grounders down the third-base line while maintaining structural integrity.

• Hot Corner Security & Reach: Built specifically for third basemen, the extra quarter-inch offers crucial reach for diving stops, while the deeper pocket secures the ball tightly before transitioning into a strong, long throw across the diamond to first base.

High-Grade Leather: Special Selection U.S. Hardball Steerhide

Upgraded to HATAKEYAMA's Special Selection Premium U.S. Hardball Steerhide. Hand-selected from top-tier North American steerhides and tanned for hardball play, this dense leather offers maximum shape retention, outstanding impact resistance, and an unmistakably firm, premium feel.
