Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tyler Naquin made an appearance at the Reds Youth Academy Saturday with Bear Mayer, founder and director of Bruce Bolt, a batting glove company. In partnership, the pair donated 200+ high quality batting gloves, the same ones Naquin wears, to kids playing in the Knothole City Baseball Tournament.
"I'd seen the gloves on a kid I was giving lessons to back home in College Station, (Texas), and I ended up getting in contact with the company through another friend and it kind of came about that way," Naquin said of the collaboration.
