MINNEAPOLIS, MN – July 15, 2014 – Not rain, nor sleet, nor threat of snow (OK, but it was 56 degrees) could keep Yoenis Cespedes from defending his Homerun Derby Crown. The Oakland slugger blasted 28 bombs while wearing the “Prime Command” Cutters batting gloves in Red, Gold and Navy, breezing to a 9-1 victory in the finals.
“I wasn’t worried about the conditions tonight. I trust my Cutters gloves’ feel and grip so I felt totally relaxed,” said Cespedes. “I have been using Cutters since I came into the League and now I can see more guys are using them every season. There is nothing better than Cutters.”
The “Prime Command” batting gloves Cespedes used have the famous Cutters’ fit and are made with Premium Micro-Tex Etched Cabretta Leather for ultimate feel and comfort. The pre-curved finger design provides a more natural grip on the bat and the lightweight, flexible back provides superior comfort and flex.
“All of us at Cutters are proud to be associated with Yoenis. He put on an amazing show against many of the League’s biggest bats,” said Tony Armand, Cutters CEO. “Cutters has been the benchmark for grip and the true game changer in football gloves for years so Yoenis’ performance was a great showcase for the same game-winning performance our gloves bring to baseball.”
While Cutters gloves have long been popular among football players, the company’s batting gloves have quickly, but quietly become a glove of choice for many professional ballplayers. Cutters are known for their amazing fit and the selected use of the same proprietary C-TACK performance grip material used in Cutters football gloves.
Cespedes became the first repeat winner of the event in 15 years. His 452-foot shot to the third deck of Target Field put an exclamation mark on his dominant performance.
