Common questions
Questions about baseball team stores
What does a baseball team store carry besides uniforms?
A TeamStore HQ baseball store carries bats, gloves, batting helmets, catcher's gear, cleats and turf shoes, batting gloves, sliding shorts and bat bags alongside custom uniforms and practice apparel — the equipment a baseball family buys over a season, not just spirit wear.
Which baseball brands can a team store carry?
Baseball stores can carry equipment from brands ST1 Sports stocks, including Rawlings and Marucci gloves, Mizuno gloves and protective gear, Champro batting helmets and training nets, New Balance cleats and turf trainers, and Wilson balls and team equipment.
Can families buy baseball cleats through the team store?
Yes. Footwear is one of the highest-turnover categories in baseball because players outgrow or wear through cleats mid- season, so cleats and turf shoes are stocked alongside the uniform rather than sent to a separate retailer.
How does a baseball program earn money from its team store?
Eligible purchases through the store put money back into the program. Because a baseball store carries bats, gloves and cleats rather than apparel alone, the earning base is the equipment families were already buying elsewhere. The estimator on the TeamStore HQ home page gives a figure for your roster size.
Can a baseball team store stay open outside the season?
Yes. The store stays open year-round, so families can order replacement gear during tryouts, through the season, at tournaments and in the off-season rather than only during a fixed ordering window.
