Eleven-Year-Old Entrepreneur and Shark Tank Star Gavin Batarse Launches New Product, Glove Wrap Pro™

Young Founder Behind the Official Glove Wrap™ of MLB® Continues to Innovate the Game with New Premium Baseball Glove Solution

Orange County, CA – May 17, 2026

At just 11 years old, entrepreneur Gavin Batarse is already accomplishing what most business owners only dream about.

After appearing twice on ABC’s Shark Tank, landing an investment deal with Mark Cuban and Michael Rubin, and partnering with MLB as the Official Glove Wrap™ of Major League Baseball®, Gavin is now launching his newest product innovation: Glove Wrap Pro™.

Since launching the original Glove Wrap™ in 2022, Gavin’s invention has helped tens of thousands of baseball and softball players quickly and effectively break in and shape their gloves. The reusable wrap became popular with players of all ages for its simple, effective design that helps form the perfect glove pocket.

Now, after receiving feedback from professional baseball players, Gavin has introduced Glove Wrap Pro™ - a premium version designed for players who want faster break-in performance, long-lasting pocket maintenance throughout the season, and added glove protection while storing their glove.

“Players loved the original Glove Wrap™, and many MLB players told us they wanted a version they could keep on their glove all season long,” says Gavin. “So we created Glove Wrap Pro™ to help players break in gloves even faster, maintain the perfect pocket shape, and protect their glove when they’re not using it.”

Made from a premium blend of polyester cotton and latex silk, Glove Wrap Pro™ is designed with durable, flexible materials built for everyday use. Like the original Glove Wrap™, it helps players form the ideal glove pocket shape critical for performance on the field. The upgraded materials also allow the wrap to stay on gloves during storage to help maintain shape and protect the glove between practices and games.

What started as a simple idea from an 11-year-old baseball player has quickly grown into one of the most recognizable glove accessory brands in the game. Since appearing twice on ABC’s Shark Tank, Gavin and his family have built a thriving business with more than 500,000 social media followers, over 250 million video views, retail partnerships nationwide, and an official partnership with MLB® as the Official Glove Wrap™ Major League Baseball®.

“Gavin gets to meet so many baseball players. He listens to their feedback and wants to find ways to improve the game,” says Jon Batarse, Gavin’s father. “The original Glove Wrap™ has been incredibly successful because it works. Glove Wrap Pro™ builds on that success by giving players another option designed specifically for long-term daily use and glove protection throughout the season.”

A perfectly shaped glove pocket can make the difference between making and missing plays on the field. Glove Wrap™ and Glove Wrap Pro™ both give players an easy and effective way to break in and shape their gloves, while Glove Wrap Pro™ adds premium materials designed to help maintain pocket shape and protect gloves over an entire season of play and beyond.

While most 11-year-olds are focused on homework and Little League games, Gavin Batarse is also continuing to grow a nationally recognized baseball brand - and creating innovative new products that help players perform at their best.

Glove Wrap™ is a family-owned business based in Southern California, founded by Gavin Batarse and run alongside his father, Jon, and sister, Morgan. The company creates innovative products designed to help baseball and softball players break in, shape, maintain, and protect their gloves.
