Chandler Bats, based in  Port St. Lucie, FL, has acquired custom baseball glove manufacturer, Emery Glove Co., based in Lawrenceville, NJ. Chandler Bats,  which was founded in 2009 and acquired by former MLB All-Star Yoenis Céspedes’ YC52 in 2019, now teams with Emery Glove, founded in 2021 by Kevin Schneider, a former college baseball coach and pitcher for Monmouth University, and his brother, current Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider.

As part of the acquisition, Emery Glove Co. athlete and Cincinnati pitcher Chase Petty will join the Chandler team. Two-time All-Star and Philadelphia outfielder Nick Castellanos, who is a Chandler ambassador, will also now become an Emery Glove Co. athlete.

“Chandler’s goal is to give consumers high-quality products that are customized to their individual needs, so bringing Emery Glove Co. into our baseball portfolio … was a no-brainer,” says Céspedes. “We are excited to diversify our product capabilities for Chandler customers and vice-versa for Emery Glove Co. loyalists.”

“Adding Emery Glove Co. to the Chandler Bats family brings both brands to a new level that we could not be more thrilled to enter,” adds Ben Chase, CEO of Chandler Bats. “These two different but unquestionably intertwined products, along with the combined experience of both leadership teams, make us confident in the future of both brands.”
