The Baseball Hand Warmer is a waterproof, versatile hand-warming pocket designed with a soft insulated interior chamber that allows it to retain heat throughout a baseball game. It is a versatile tool that can be placed on the same side of the body as a player's throwing hand. The pocket will remain warm for hours to ensure outside temperatures do not affect the player's ability to play. By ensuring that the player's hand stays warm for the entire game or practice session, he/she can pitch with enhanced accuracy and without the discomfort of cold temperatures. The Baseball Hand Warmer is even small enough to fit into the player's pocket for additional warmth.
Benefits of the Baseball Hand Warmer
As the baseball season is now nearly year-round in some areas players are increasingly exposed to extreme weather conditions. Cold and/or wet conditions can affect players' hands in the following ways:
Loss of grip. When a baseball player’s hands are wet, he/she has difficulty maintaining the proper grip on the ball, increasing the likelihood of dropping the ball or inaccurately throwing or pitching the ball.
Numb fingers. The baseball is designed with a rubber or cork center, wrapped in yarn and then with two stripes of white horsehide or cowhide that is stitched together. The tactile sensation an experienced baseball player feels when he/she grips a baseball, allows them to more effectively throw and pitch the ball. Cold fingers adversely impact this process and and can have a negative impact on their game.
Frostbite. Fingers are one of the most vulnerable areas that can experience frostbite. Throwing a baseball and having an accurate aim requires the dexterity of the hands. Cold fingers that are experiencing the onset of frostbite will not be as nimble and won't have the proper facility.
The Baseball Hand Warmer will help prevent numb fingers or frostbite. It will also help improve the player’s ability to throw and catch a ball, remaining warm for hours, outlasting most baseball games. It's a must-have for those who play in inclement weather.
About the Inventors
With a son on a travel baseball team, the inventors quickly noticed how challenging weather conditions affected his performance. During adverse weather conditions, he often struggled to grip and throw the ball accurately due to cold and wet hands. They purchased several conventional heat packets and placed them in his back pocket to help him with his baseball games. It wasn't enough. Their inability to find something to address the problem convinced them they needed to the Baseball Hand Warmer.
Manufacturing and Retail Opportunities
The Baseball Hand Warmer is now open to manufacturing and retail opportunities. The inventors recognize how the Baseball Hand Warmer will help their son and his teammates and now they want to spread the unique benefits of their invention. Partnering up with retail and manufacturing is a symbiotic relationship — brick-and-mortar stores will diversify their product listings, and the Baseball Hand Warmer will be exposed to more people.
