We're excited to share one of our first "Meet the Pros" interviews with Raul Shah, Second Baseman, Shortstop and Rightfielder for Southern Maryland Blue Crabs in the Atlantic League.  So first the basics.... Birthday:    October 15th, 1994 Where did you grow up?      I grew up in Ellicott City, MD. This is where I spent my summers playing travel and high school baseball. Those were some of the best times of my life. I would not trade those memories and happiness for anything. I spent so much time with my teammates, coaches, and parents. It makes me smile just recollecting those...

It's hard to believe that after only 4 years of being in business, that we get to work with so many incredible MLB, MiLB, NBP (Japan), KBO (Korea) and LMB (Mexico) players. Tomorrow is Opening Day, so we'd like to introduce our BRUCE BOLT Starting Lineup of players in the BIGs!  As part of our BRUCE BOLT family, we hope you'll be supporting our guys and maybe even follow them on Instagram!

Check out our first video interview ever with NY Mets and BB Signature Series Player, Brandon Nimmo.  Bear and Brandon discuss growing up in Wyoming, the High School Sports dilemma, the choice he had to make between college and the minors and finally giving his destiny over to GOD. This is compelling content for any aspiring player or parent who want some insights into the sacrifices, determination and...

As you may know, everything I design here at BRUCE BOLT is built because as a baseball player, I know what I like. I’ve always prided myself on growing a decent helmet, but I always hated sweat and my long hair getting in my eyes, so when I had the chance, I designed a 4-way stretch, moisture wicking headband that fits perfectly under your game cap.  But this post isn't about that, it's about an ongoing argument I have with my dad over who has better flow - Baseball or Hockey Players? My dad, who used to lace them up,...

Can you guess the number of “high stress” throws a select player’s arm endures on a championship tournament weekend? 60 100  200 270+ If you said 270+, you’re correct. Here’s the math…..If you play 5 games to reach the championship in a typical weekend and you consider 20 pregame long tosses before each game and 5 warm up throws between innings in a 6 inning game, you're at 270 “high stress” throws before you even make play in the field.  If you are pitching, you can add at least another 80 throws to that count.  And if you are catching,...
