"I had my son's two new Rawlings gloves broken in. It is a new service at Closeout. I strongly recommend it. Great job guys!" -- Eddy in NJ
This is truly a game-changer. Here at CloseoutBats we understand the true value of a glove and want to help our customers protect their investment.
That's why our family-owned and operated company will take the time to individually break in each and every glove we sell by hand for only $60 extra per glove! This means no-nonsense or shenanigans when it comes to breaking in your glove -- we promise not to steam your glove because it's not a lobster!
Please note that if you add Mad Max's Break-In Service, you will need to allow up to 5 additional days to process and ship your order. Break-in fee is non-refundable.
Our trained professionals will then break in your new glove using only their bare hands and a mallet. You can trust that we will NEVER use machines, steam, creams, water treatments, or oils that can make your glove feel heavy.
We will turn your glove inside out to help stretch the leather and prepare it for further breaking-in.
The result of taking the time to pound out and hand manipulate the leather is a game-ready feel on day one. The action of repeatedly hitting the glove at the correct break points will help soften the material and start to give it shape.
When we are done shaping your glove, we know you will be pleased. QUESTIONS? Give Max and Roy a call!
VOILA! Your new glove is now ready to hit the field!

This was my first experience with Closeout Bats and it couldn't have been better. Roy was so great and reached out in advance with a potential issue as well as a resolution, before the bat even shipped! I will look at Closeout Bats first from now on before buying elsewhere for my Travel Baller, even though we are in CA and he's in NJ. Hand's down, you don't get service like this anywhere else!

Bought my son a new bat for Little League. The one he wanted was out of stock nearly everywhere but I found one on CloseoutBats. Shipped within a day or so and I received it a few days later. Bat was brand new in the wrapper, no dents, no scratches. Great experience and would keep them in mind again in the future.
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!
