"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!

I purchased a bat from the Midnight cowboy lottery.. Got on web site in 2 minute my name was qued and they only limited 2 per person.. Tried to get on Manufacturers web site sat for 45 minutes waiting to get In , by the time I got in everything was sold out, they didn't put a limit on the bats. As a manufacturer I think you need to limit stock to 2 or 3. To make it fair to consumers.Thanks to close out bats with a limit I was able to purchase a bat for a very special...

I love supporting closeoutbats! Whenever my daughter needs new softball gear I always find myself coming back to closeoutbats. I recently placed an order and there was an issue with my order, Roy himself called/texted me to get it fixed and we avoided any delays. I appreciate that it wasn't an auto refund or an email notice that sat in my inbox until I got around to checking it.
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!
