DOMIN GLOVES INVITED

TO FUTURE FORWARD

http://www.futureforward.com/participants.html

Future Forward is an invitation only event that brings together more than one hundred CIOs, CTOs, CEOs, researchers and investors from the New England area. The event provides attendees with a firsthand look at technology innovation and explores the way organizations successfully deploy products and business services to create a competitive advantage.

So, what was an old-fashion, hand-made baseball glove company doing there? Well, it shows that whether you are talking about Apple or Domin Gloves it doesn't matter- the only thing that matters is how creative you can use technology to bring great products to satisfy your customers. When we started out two years ago our mission was simple, bring great gloves at a great price to serious baseball players who were passionate about great gloves.

Today, we have sold gloves from California to New Jersey, from Iowa to Florida and even from the Dominican Republic to the Netherlands. So what does the future hold for Domin? We envision in the next two years a few MLB players beginning to use our Domin Gloves not because they are being paid to use them but because they'll WANT to use them!

Mexico Pitcher Tosses Perfect Game at Little League World Series- with his Domin Glove on!!!

The Associated Press Sunday, August 17, 2008; 2:54 PM

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. -- Jesus Sauceda of Matamoros, Mexico, struck out all 12 batters in the first perfect game at the Little League World Series in 29 years on Sunday.
Sauceda needed to pitch only four innings, instead of the usual six, in the 12-0 victory over Emilia, Italy. It was the fifth perfect game at the Little League World Series and the first since Chao-An Chen of Taiwan tossed one in 1979.

Sunday's game ended after the top of the fourth inning because of Little League's 10-run mercy rule.

Sauceda also had a big day at the plate. He went 3-for-3 with six RBIs, including a grand slam in the third.

DOMIN GOES INTERNATIONAL

It’s not hard to see the remarkable success that Major League Baseball has enjoyed as a result of its efforts to globalize our national pastime. Here you see a picture of Teperman Academy in the Dominican Republic with their Domin Gloves. While the 2006 World Baseball Classic certainly saw more than a handful of nations showcasing their baseball prowess, the presence of MLB offices and developmental academies throughout Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Australia may offer a better example of just how important a role the international scene plays in baseball’s future. As of April 2007, just under 30% of all players appearing on Major League rosters were born in foreign countries, and an astounding 46.2% of all minor league rosters consisted of foreign-born players as well. From the Dominican Republic to Japan, from Australia to Holland, the game today is one that features a distinctively international flavor.

As MLB expands across the globe, Domin Gloves are right there with it. Entering just our third year, we have experienced a great deal of success in marketing our products beyond the United States. Domin has long been a favorite among professional players in Mexico, and with the rising popularity of our glove line within the amateur and professional ranks of the United States, it comes as no surprise that some of our international friends have jumped on board to experience the quality products that we offer. Having secured several deals in Holland, Europe’s top nation for producing professional players, we have also begun to spark the interest of some of Australia’s finest ballplayers.

Wherever we go, the one constant that seems to hold true is the attraction to the Domin Glove. In foreign countries, baseball equipment is often two or three times as expensive as it is in the United States. What international players see is a quality glove with a nice aesthetic appeal that won’t leave you with an empty wallet, and as sales representatives we really do not need to put forth a great deal of effort into marketing a glove that basically sells itself. We have recently expanded our line to include gloves for first basemen and catchers, and we are excited about what lies ahead. As with Major League Baseball, the globalization of Domin Gloves appears to hold a bright and prosperous future!

Rave Reviews about the Infield Trainer!

So many coaches and high-level players have been purchasing the Domin Infield Trainer. We at Domin believe that the trainer glove has two main qualities that separate it from other Trainers...

1. While the glove is shorter (at 10.5 inches), the opening for your hand is relatively the same size as it is for the bigger gloves. This results in more comfort and more of a natural feel for the user.

2. The Domin Infield Trainer is made with the exact same leather and pattern as other Domin Infield Gloves. Many other trainer gloves are made somewhat cheaper and do not feel enough like the "game" glove that many infielders use. This will also result in a much longer lasting and durable glove.

Keep your eyes out for this glove at training facilities and on various teams! Has anyone out there seen or used this glove yet? Let us know if you have.

Southern Utah University Baseball Partners with Domin Gloves

As the Domin Glove Series continues to penetrate deeper into the baseball community, more and more baseball people have joined the Domin Glove Series team. The Southern Utah University Baseball Team has become the first Division-1 team to officially partner with Domin. Head Coach David Eldredge has been ordering Domin Gloves for his team for the last two seasons. Here is what Coach Eldredge has to say about Domin Gloves, "our players at Southern Utah University use the Domin Glove because of its lightweight feel, durable leather, and cool looks. In my opinion, there isn't a better glove on the market for such a low price!" As the year progresses, we will continue to distribute the Domin Glove Series to the highest levels of baseball through partnerships similar to the one we have developed with highly respected baseball programs like Southern Utah University!

Upstart Domin

I have begun to write articles for this site to let you guys know the inside scoop on Domin Gloves and what we are all about. My first article touched on my passion for gloves and why I have gotten involved with this new and exciting company. Other articles may provide information to baseball purists, or as this article does, inform readers of the progress that we are making since introducing our gloves to the United States.

Our company has made a ton of progress in the past 3 months. More and more people are becoming aware of our product and most everyone who uses a Domin is extremely excited with their glove. Here are a few things that have happened lately:

Glove Rep sales have gone up each month during the last 3 months.

Domin gloves will be introduced in 8 professional clubhouses this Spring Training. Various minor leaguers have put down their old glove for a new Domin.

We have begun to set up team sales and many different college baseball teams are interested in switching to Domin gloves in the next 3-6 months.

The product has been a hit, as we knew it would be. We can’t wait for more people to see our glove and try it out!

Keep Pickin It!

THE GLOVE-PLAYER RELATIONSHIP

You've heard the countless cliches, most of which parallel popular labels for deep relationships - there's "glove story," "glove affair," I've even read a newspaper article entitled "I Glove You." One thing I've noticed at every level of baseball is the special relationship formed between player and glove.

And why not? Excepting the fact that you are not Ichiro, who meticulously monitors his bat's humidity levels in a specially-formulated humidor, the glove is the most personal and specific piece of equipment a ballplayer owns and uses. Broken-in to precise standards, oiled, carefully handled (negate multiple-error games here), and position-specific, the baseball glove truly is an extension of the hand.

I've always had a passion for gloves...as a middle infielder from Little League all the way on up to the NCAA's Southeastern Conference, you could've asked me at any point what model Roberto Alomar uses? SSK, PRO-ALM-C, 11.25". Ozzie Smith? Rawlings, PRO-2MTC, 11.50". Omar Vizquel? Tougher because it is a discontinued model, but nonetheless, Rawlings, PRO-15XOT, 11.00".

I also share the same enthusiasm for the exotic and unique. Miguel Tejada's first model? Milk Carton. That's awesome. A multi-colored Puerto Rican-made glove I saw while playing there? Even better, I wanted to play shortstop like everyone I saw down there.

While the revolution in wooden baseball bats has extended opportunities to countless companies in recent years, the baseball glove market seems to be moving in a similar direction. It isn’t easy to produce a high quality baseball glove. There are all these new technologies out there, but I just want to see some more attractive gloves with reliable and durable leather. That’s where our new glove company comes into the picture. We at Domin are a group of baseball professionals who pay attention to creating elite gloves for serious players. Our passion is to put a glove on your hand that you will love. We will be updating you on the progress of our company, along with adding articles like this one that you just read.

In the mean time, check us out at http://www.domingloves.com/.

Keep Pickin It!
