The post below was originally offered by cpkebaseballdad on May 28, 2007. Some of us thought it was an advertising ploy for these gloves. I thought the post really was just hype and now I realize that I was wrong in assuming that. After corresponding with cpkebaseballdad through a PM I would like to reintroduce this topic so that it may receive the attention and discussion that it deserves.
I apologize for sending that thread off track and now I am stepping away to let that discussion proceed.
cpkebaseballdad's original post...
"During the college preseason, my son's former roommate (son now in the minor leagues with the Nationals) had a pitch hit and break the bones in his left hand. He lost his senior season and possibly a draft, to this injury. Tonight at a HS regional game, I saw a batting glove that would have prevented this injury. This glove is made by Kagepro. The company's literature claims the titanium plate in the dorsal side of the hand will disperse the impact of a 100 mph pitch and yield an impact velocity equivalet to a 19 mph pitch.
I am confident the glove would have spared my son's friend a lost season. Check it out for yourself at
