Mookie Betts is stepping up to the plate in a new way, leveraging his impressive six Gold Glove awards to launch his own line of baseball gloves under the brand LGND. These gloves are crafted with a focus on versatility, craftsmanship, and player-first innovation, reflecting Betts’ dedication to the game.
As the Dodgers’ shortstop, Betts’ accolades primarily stem from his time in right field, making him one of the rare players in MLB history to earn All-Star honors as both an infielder and an outfielder. With four World Series championships and eight All-Star selections to his name, his expertise on the field is unquestionable. “Every detail matters when you’re on the field, and your glove is one of the most important tools you have,” Betts remarked. “I started this with the intention to build something that reflected the way I play the game, which is with passion, preparation and attention to detail.”
The LGND collection features two distinct glove series: MOOK and MVRK, designed for players at all levels. Priced between $250 to $330, these gloves are not just a purchase; they’re an investment in quality. The MOOK Series draws inspiration from Betts’ dual experience in both infield and outfield play, showcasing his game-worn colorways, a signature stamp in the palm, and a unique “50 Tri-Star” logo on the thumb.
The MVRK Series offers a versatile design tailored for players who switch between positions, ensuring that every player can find a glove that suits their style. Both models are crafted from premium Japanese kip leather, engineered for a lighter feel and a quick break-in period. LGND’s website even includes an interactive platform that allows players to customize their gloves to match their individual preferences.
“LGND is about giving young players a glove they can trust from the first time they put it on,” Betts stated. “Whether you’re chasing a championship, working toward a college scholarship or just falling in love with baseball, I want these gloves to help young players perform at their best.”
At 33, Betts co-founded the company with lifelong friends Cameron Lewis, Brandon McPhail, and Andrew Montgomery, all of whom played together during their high school years in Nashville. The Dodgers acquired Betts in a trade before the 2020 season, and he has since contributed to three World Series titles, including the last two consecutive years. After spending the first six years of his career with the Boston Red Sox, where he earned the American League MVP award in 2018, Betts transitioned to the infield in 2023 and 2024, ultimately becoming the Dodgers’ everyday shortstop last season. In 2025, he led National League shortstops in total fielding runs above average, making only seven errors over 148 games, and this season, he has committed just three errors.
