What's up everybody?
This is Nick DeLisi, 2022 catcher at Our Lady of Good Counsel.
I'm committed to East Carolina University, and this is What's in My Baseball Bag.
So first up, got some cleats.
These are the neon green Adidas Adizeros.
I love them.
They're great.
I wear them with a bunch of different uniforms, but they stand out.
I like them a lot.
A lot of people that know me know I love these.
They're super fire.
These are my molds.
It's also Adidas.
Wear these on turf fields.
I like molds better than metal on turf, just because these grip a little bit more, but
white and chrome silver.
Like them a lot.
Super comfy.
Like Adidas.
These right here, more cleats.
These are the Mother's Day ones.
They're tearing a little bit at the bottom, chipping, but these are super nice.
Like them a lot.
Got the cool pattern on the side for my mom, and wrote mom on them.
I wore these for Mother's Day, but I always keep these around.
I'll probably wear them again next year.
These are super clean.
And then my high school cleats.
We get them every year.
Under Armour.
These are the Harpers from last year.
Pretty nice.
Pretty comfy.
It can never go wrong with Under Armour, but these are super cool.
Navy and white are high school colors, but these are pretty cool also.
That's the bonus of this stuff.
All right.
So this is my ball.
This is my arm care ball.
I've had this for like six years.
I've been doing my arm care routine for six or seven years.
Use it after every time I throw.
Throw it against the wall, and make sure I get a good blood activation in my scap.
This right here, my body blade.
Use it before and after I throw.
Like it a ton.
Helps the scap.
Helps the shoulder.
Just get that blood pumping before and after you throw, but this is definitely huge essential.
Another thing to get me ready to go.
My gun.
Love using it.
Bunch of different pieces.
I only brought this one.
It's dead right now, but charge it up before, and I use it before the game.
Definitely gets you loose and ready to go out there and compete.
All right.
So next, got a little bit something different.
I got a tripod.
This is definitely a must have for me.
I use it all the time, especially when I'm hitting alone with my dad or one of my buddies.
Definitely always use this.
You don't need somebody to come film you to watch your BP session or watch you do something.
Always nice to have this when you're taking BP, so you can go back and watch the video
and make adjustments at the end.
So this is definitely huge.
My gloves.
These are my gloves.
Both Wilson.
Big, big Wilson guy.
I love Wilson.
Straight away from it a little bit, went to Rawlings, but both my Rawlings broke, so
I went back to Wilson.
I've been using them ever since.
Best gloves in the business.
Super comfy.
They last years, and you're definitely able to continue to use them in the winter and
in the summer.
So these are definitely two of my favorites.
All right, so we'll go into my helmet.
So first, I got a pair of batting gloves in here.
These are the G-Forms.
I got these at Junior National last year, but these are nice.
Like them a lot.
Really comfy, and obviously protect your hands from getting hit with the little pads and
guards.
Next, sliding mitt.
Always got to have this.
Always got to have it in your back pocket.
Even though I don't baseball a ton, got to have it because it helps you get all the ladies
that come to your games.
Keep that in mind.
So that's definitely an essential.
Always wear it.
Next, another pair of batting gloves.
Huge Franklin guy.
I love Franklin.
Super thin, super comfy.
Like them a lot.
Definitely recommend getting these.
Get a couple pairs, but right now I got the black ones.
Also got this.
The Pro Hitter.
I got a few of these.
Got to keep these around.
Once you use them a couple times, you can't not use them.
So I always have these in the dugout or in my car.
But Pro Hitter, definitely something I always bring, put on my batting gloves.
Another thing, right now, got my arm sleeve.
It's a little dirty.
Under Armour.
Just nice and simple white.
It's kind of brown because it's dirty and ripped and stuff, but always got to have an
arm sleeve.
And then my helmet.
This is the Rawlings S100.
It's like the Pro Helmet.
I got it a few years ago, but I like it a lot.
Really comfy and I bring it everywhere I go, so definitely always got to have the helmet
on.
Next, go through my catcher's gear.
So I got the EvoShield helmet.
I got EvoShield last summer.
I've been using it for a little bit over a year.
Like it a lot.
Super comfy.
But got the helmet.
Also got the chest, moldable chest.
This piece running through here, near the abdomen, molds to your body.
So super comfy and it fits perfect.
Fits perfect.
Love it.
Super comfy and definitely helps when you block.
You don't feel anything.
So that definitely helps a ton.
Sticking with catcher's gear.
Going back, same thing with the legs.
Leg guards.
Super comfy.
You mold this part to your calf, and then you just strap everything else in and Velcro
it all up.
But super comfy.
Love it a lot.
Super reliable and fits perfect.
So that's that.
And then I go into my bats.
Got to go into these two guys right here.
Jawbats.
Shout out Jawbats.
Love them.
Perfect.
Different type of wood, man.
This wood is the best wood I've ever used, and I've used Louisville, Old Hick, all the
big brands.
This doesn't compare, man.
This wood is insane.
I love it.
You hit bombs with it.
Beautiful off the barrel too, and they don't break that often.
But definitely go check out Jawbats right now.
Hottest bats.
Hottest wood bats in the business.
So go get some.
But these two right here, super, super essential, and always got to have the Jawbats on you.
Going into my aluminum bat.
Got a Easton B5.
I also got Louisville Meta and the Quattro from 2019, the red one.
But like this a lot, it's a one piece, all aluminum.
Really loud off the barrel, but definitely got a lot of pop.
Going to use Easton in college, so I got this to get prepared.
But love Easton.
Super great.
It's got like the throwback colors too.
It looks a little older, but definitely worth getting it.
Got my towels.
They're a little dirty right now.
As a catcher, pretty sweaty, especially in the summer.
So got to have towels on you.
Put it in the back pocket, or just use it in between innings to wipe off your hands
or your face.
But definitely, definitely got to have these.
Got more weighted balls in here.
This also goes with this.
So I got a wrist weight, and weighted balls, my receiving drills, I use these for receiving
and then strap this onto the wrist.
But definitely, definitely use these a ton.
Always keep them everywhere I go.
Got a bunch of baseballs in here.
A lot of perfect game balls.
Just keep them for throwing and stuff if I ever need balls and forget them.
This right here, a little bat.
You can actually use it.
I've used it before to mold gloves, but it's also like a one-hand drills off the tee and
stuff.
I like to use it a little bit from time to time.
Bat weight.
I also carry this in my bag.
I don't use it that often, because my biggest nightmare is getting it stuck on the bat right
before you come up to the plate.
Kind of embarrassing, but I always got this on just in case somebody's throwing gas and
you got to get through the zone.
One of my biggest, my biggest thing in my bag, tape and pre-wrap.
Everybody that knows me knows I don't go a day without this.
I wear this all the time.
Always wear it for games.
Always wear it in practice.
It definitely helps us to catch it with support on your wrist.
I had wrist tendonitis a few years ago, so I always put it on.
Also like the flash aspect.
It looks pretty cool too.
But I always wear this and use it wherever I go.
So that's, I'm sure that got that.
My glasses right here, 100%, shout out 100%.
These are definitely sick.
Some of the coolest glasses in the business.
Always got to have these on, especially when it's sunny and stuff.
Always got to carry them around.
Next thing, I'm going to, this is a little bottle, but got to go into baby powder as
a catcher.
You know what it's like back there, so got to put on some baby powder.
Before the games.
Got this also.
Don't know where the cap went.
Doesn't even work, unfortunately, but got my Ritchie Pythar spray.
Also got Stick'Em spray, but don't know, I lost it or something.
But this is definitely huge.
Put it on my batting gloves, sometimes even sneak it on my gear, but definitely huge.
Put it on stuff, make it a little bit more, a little more easier to grip.
And then, yeah, that's pretty much everything.
Also this, this guy right here, always carry it around everywhere I go as a catcher.
You drink a lot of water or Gatorade during the games.
I'm a water guy, so I always fill this up with water, but always have this handy, ready
to go when I need it.
And then, yeah, that's pretty much everything.
Usually carry two bags with me everywhere I go.
One catching and hitting stuff, and the other like sunglasses and extra stuff.
Sunflower seeds, other stuff that I need.
But I've gone through everything, and that's what's in my baseball bag.
