Baseball’s Best Pitcher Put A Charizard Card In His Glove
Professional baseball pitcher Jacob Misiorowski of the Milwaukee Brewers has made headlines for his custom baseball glove featuring a Charizard Pokemon card. Created by sports equipment company 44 Pro specifically for baseball’s All-Star Game, the glove showcases Misiorowski’s dual passion for baseball and Pokemon card collecting.
The custom glove features a transparent window in the webbing that displays a Charizard card—one of the most iconic and valuable Pokemon trading cards. The glove’s exterior design complements this display, with orange, red, and yellow coloring that mimics the fire-breathing Pokemon’s appearance. This marks the second custom glove Misiorowski has commissioned from 44 Pro; his previous version featured a Gengar card.
Misiorowski is recognized as one of baseball’s elite pitchers, known for his exceptional fastball that has reached speeds of 105.5 MPH and his precise command on the mound. When he’s not dominating opponents with his pitching abilities, he pursues his passion for collecting cards, combining his love of sports and gaming culture.
The glove represents an intersection of professional sports and pop culture, demonstrating how athletes increasingly express their personal interests through custom equipment. For Misiorowski, the custom gear serves as both a functional tool and a personal statement, allowing him to celebrate his fandom while competing at the highest level of professional baseball.
