During the May 7th Tallahassee USSSA Super NIT tournament weekend held at Messer Park, Mizuno sent in a "specialist".
The "Glove Steamer" camped out at tournament central and brought a unique baseball experience to the players and families involved in the tournament.
Mizuno Regional Brand Specialist Kyle Shiplett took to the Capital City and showcased the unique method of breaking in a brand new baseball glove in 10 minutes or less.
The technique required some sweat, some pounding, some magic solution and a 2 minute nap in a patented Steamer.
After the brief experience, the brand new leather glove had gone from tagged to game-ready.
Shiplett has been assigned brand targetting in Florida-Panhandle as well as the state of Georgia and the state of Alabama.
