Bought my first glove as an adult after using the same glove for the last 20+ years. While the glove, communication from Closeoutbats, and shipping speed were all great - the break in that was done on the glove was the star of the show. I know how stiff an A2K glove is from the factory, and I was immediately able to squeeze the glove and use it to have a catch with my son right out of the box. Will continue to buy every glove my family needs from Closeoutbats in...
At Closeout Bats we stock what we sell! We have a huge warehouse and are NOT drop shipping bats like many web sites. We update inventory and availability on the Web site several times a day as inventory positions change shipping hundreds and hundeds of bats. We also sell bats out of our physical store, so sometimes things sell out before we can get them off the Web site.
Limited quantities available. Prices subject to change without notice. Like we say, if it's on the site, it's in the warehouse -- just SOMETIMES it might have some other player's name on it! If you snooze, you lose, so ORDER YOURS NOW!
