- This offseason, Mizuno invited WPW Founder Mike to Haga, Japan to document how a pro glove is made. Haga is a beautiful town high in the mountains of central Honshu, Japan's main island, and its where the Glovemeister's team of technicians supplies ballgloves for about 40% of the Nippon Professional Baseball League, and some of our favorite defenders in the game.
Be sure to check out Episode 1 (The Glovemeister - Ichiro's Mizuno Master Craftsman) • The Glovemeister - Ich... and Episode 3 (How a Bat is Made) coming soon.
Shoutout to Mizuno Sports for making this possible. Follow them at @mizunobaseballnorthamerica.

they have an insane roster
- Ichiro Suzuki
- Fernando Tatis jr.
- Andelton Simmons
- Didi Gregorius
- Ian Desmond
- Wilson Contreras
- Amed Rosario
and plenty more insane defenders
Masahiro Tanaka, Kenta Maeda, Ian Kinsler, as well as John Smoltz, Hideki Matsui, and Victor Martinez used the brand.
@@fightersfan5363 also chipper jones and jimmy rollins
Didi trash
@@sethking3, Didi is one of the best SS in baseball
@@baileysmith4744 I watch him every game here in philly he is batting .214 and has double digit errors and he was hurt for a long time this year. He’s overrated
I literally just got my mixuno pro limited in tan yesterday and it’s by far the best glove I’ve ever owned. It’s amazing
Bruh how do u know its not even broken in yet
@@astrostrashcan1223lmaooooo , nice reply
These mizuno pros are no joke
This series just keeps getting better! I can't wait for the next episode. Keem em coming!
😍😍😍
Details =Japan, German
Luxury = France , Italy
USA=Made in China
Ironically most of mizuno’s gloves are made in China
It's the sad truth
@@PURPLEONIOND I'm not sure if that's the case for USA issued Mizuno but my Japanese Mizuno Global Elite was made in Philippines and my Mizuno Pro was made in Japan. I'm pretty sure if you were to buy Mizuno pros in Japan you'd get something made in Japan.
@@wyshen1968 no, 99% mizuno gloves are made in China... Whether you buy in Japan Or not.
@@fbjuubg5882 japanese market mizuno pro haga and custom are made in japan, the newer pro limited are also MIJ.
It's crazy how y'all have leveled up, I have been following the site since like 2013
You were real early! Thanks for sticking with us.
Will there be videos like this for different brands in the future? Because I’m really liking these.
really hoping so. thanks a lot man
new origins episode drops 7/15 !!
@@WhatProsWear so excited 🥳. Can’t wait
Mizuno gloves are just beautiful
It's crazy how we take for granted the amount of work that goes into making each glove! We just put them on and go play lol!
I live in Osaka for 8 years and went a lot in the new Mizuno shop where you are at the beginning of the video ! Great place, bought a lot of my stuff there, they also made my name in japanese in my glove and batting gloves I buy there every year. I can also have a great look at their most recent Haga gloves, they are so expensive (around 70000 yens). Also fun fact, a staff there was a year under Hiroki Kuroda in highschool and won Koushien the year after Kuroda graduated ^^
Anyway great work ! Can't wait for the 3rd video.
Feanor026 wow 70000 yen’s is $653.88. That’s like double the price of a Rawlings glove!
@@xandonovan6149 It's their most expensive one, but there are other "Mizuno Pro" gloves around 40-50k also, I bought mine on internet for an US model Mizuno Pro I liked, less than 50000yens, a glove style and color I didn't find in Japan. And of course there are other great gloves around 30000 yens I think.
Just bought the Wilson a2k under $300, comparing with the Mizuno pro haga $600 and Mizuno pro $350 (US version, made in China), my choice was the made in Japan a2k... Seems like the Mizuno lost interested in the US bb glove market, top it with price hikes on all bb gears, their classic pro line isn't thriving as used to be (bring back chipper Jones to rep, because the global elite and pro select lines never will be equal to old classic pro line), they promotes the running and golf gears + apparels more than the baseball gears...
Such gold. Thank you so much for these. I can’t say this enough. Mizuno baseball is perfection.
Thank you!!!
Was this before the lockdown or after
Filmed in January and at spring training 2020.
the editing on this video is top notch
How are the 🇺🇸 mizuno’s made 🧐
As satisfying as it gets
Anyone have some thoughts on Nokona vs Mizuno? Mainly quality and usability
Loving these videos!
Thanks a lot Justin. Hope we can bring you more just like it
You said it; mesmerizing!
Head keeps bobbing from this dope music!
That was the plan. Video might not be an Oscar winner but at least give the people a few bangers

Unfortunately the only mizuno gloves I like are catcher mitts
So cool
Just wish the gloves were available in more color ways tbh
You can customize them! It's just that almost no westerners know how. ;)
First
Why do you need gloves in baseball anyway? Cricket players can manage to catch a hard cricket ball without gloves and the only fielder to wear gloves is the wicket keeper and even then the gloves literally just cover the fingers so what's with the scoop around the gloves in baseball?
Cricket is lame
@@hawthornemoody3594 Not as lame as a game that was invented for kids!
Have you ever played baseball? lol.
@@ciello___8307 I've played rounders as a kid which is what baseball is directly based on and never found the need to wear gloves!
Tsu 800 baseballs can come at you at like 90-100 mph so I would want a glove lol
Wilson my guy
what a terrible swing lol
