AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BRUCE BOLT, the Austin-based, family-owned sports performance brand known for its premium gloves and gear across baseball, softball, and golf, today announced a partnership with San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. Tatis Jr. takes the field in Game One of the Wild Card Series tonight, where fans can see him wearing BRUCE BOLT gear. As part of the partnership, Tatis Jr. will debut his first-ever co-designed batting glove, with early access available through BRUCE BOLT’s newly launched membership platform, BOLT Nation, in November.
“Fernando is one of the most electrifying players in the game today and a true believer in BRUCE BOLT’s craftsmanship,” said Bear Mayer, BRUCE BOLT’s Founder and CEO. “He didn’t just lend his name; he co-designed this glove. We’re thrilled to partner with him and can’t wait to continue watching him thrive.”
Tatis Jr. worked closely with Mayer on the color details of the design, creating a piece that represents the way he plays the game. A longtime fan of BRUCE BOLT, the two-time All-Star will also wear the brand’s batting gloves, arm sleeves, and protective gear throughout the postseason as well as next season.
“For me, durability is everything; I need gear that can keep up with how I play,” said Tatis Jr. “BRUCE BOLT offers the best combination, and it’s why I was excited to create my own Signature Series glove. This glove is built for performance, but also for the fans, and I’m excited that BOLT Nation members will be the first to get their hands on it.”
“Para mí, la durabilidad lo es todo; necesito un equipo que pueda mantenerse al día con la forma en que juego”, dijo Tatis Jr. “BRUCE BOLT ofrece la mejor combinación, y es por eso que me entusiasmó crear mi propio guante Signature Series. Este guante está hecho para el rendimiento, pero también para los fanáticos, y estoy emocionado de que los miembros de BOLT Nation sean los primeros en ponerle las manos encima “.
