About the original
The Mizuno Aluminum Youth Bat is a 25-inch, 14.5-ounce tee ball bat with a single-piece aluminum alloy barrel and cushioned synthetic grip, sized for players roughly five to seven years old. Mizuno has manufactured baseball equipment since its founding in Osaka, Japan in 1906 by brothers Rihachi and Rizo Mizuno. The company supplies bats, gloves, and cleats at every level of play, from Japanese youth leagues to Nippon Professional Baseball and MLB. Mizuno is also one of the few manufacturers still making pro-grade gloves by hand in Japan. The Supreme SS2014 collaboration ran early in Supreme's sporting goods program, adding co-branded graphics along the barrel of an otherwise stock youth bat.
