Episode 19: What's In My Baseball Bag Ft Roman Kimball (Class of 2021/ D1 Commit to Notre Dame)

What is up guys, my name is Roman Kimball. I'm a pitcher here at P27 Academy. I'm committed to the University of Notre Dame and I'm a 2021 grad, so we're going to take a look at what's in my bag here. First off, we'll start with the bag. I have a Mizuno duffel bag. I got it from the Super 60 event in Wisconsin this year, so we got this bag for free, which is really nice. It's a really nice bag. Got a lot of pockets and stuff, so keeps all my stuff in here. First, we'll start with gloves. My first glove right here is this tan Pro Preferred. Love this glove a lot. It's really nice leather. Obviously, Pro Preferred is the best in the game. The colorway is really nice too. Two-piece web and then you got the brown accents too, which is really nice. Second glove I got is from the Super 60. We got a Mizuno glove for free from the event. Right here, I got this all red colorway with Masi or Tanaka web, light blue accent, gold patching. This glove is super nice. The leather quality is actually really good for it being free. It is a Mizuno Pro, so it is their top-line glove, but yeah, this glove is awesome. I love the design and best part about it is that it was free. Moving on, we got our Notre Dame custom glove. I got this a few years ago, a few months after I committed, I think. Another Pro Preferred. Like I said, best in the game. We got the navy blue with the green and gold accents. Obviously, Notre Dame colors. Love these. Break-in is really nice. We got the trap web right there. I like this for pitching. Still versatile, so I can field with it pretty well when I need to with PFPs. Next glove, we've got Old Reliable. I've had this glove for five years, five or six years, since Little League, I think. The rich tan Rawlings Pro Preferred again. These gloves are just the best in the business. Obviously, the glove is still in pretty good condition for having it for a while. It's got my name on it as well. Then the red Rawlings labels, which is pretty standard. Love the standard look here. It kind of pops. We got the cream right there as well. I love this as well. Then the last glove I carry in my bag is my Shag Glove. This is modeled after Aaron Judge's outfield glove. I'm a huge Yankees fan, so I like Aaron Judge. I love his glove colorways and stuff. You got the black with the gray, and then we got the purple stitching right there, and then the standard red labels. This is a heart of the hide though, not Pro Preferred, but the leather quality is still really good. Something I really like about the heart of the hides is that it's a little bit more softer than the Pro Preferred, so in the outfield, when you're catching fly balls and stuff, it's a better feel. Moving on, we've got our set of bands. Pretty much every pitcher has these. I carry these around. This is life or death. I need to have these in my bag before I warm up for games, so that's a necessity. Next, we have foam roller. Use this before games as well. Roll out my muscles and stuff, my back, my legs, calves, everything that I need to get loose before the game. That is what that is for. Have a Gatorade towel in here. I mean, don't really use this much. I mean, if it's a really hot day, then I'll bring this out and just kind of wipe my sweat off with it. Carry my sandals around in here and my cleats as well. We have this gadget right here, the rope trainer. I don't really use this as much as I used to, but this is a really great tool to use in between innings. Say your team has a long inning and you need to throw, this is what this is for. It's more of like a towel, but it works on your deceleration muscles too, which is a really important thing for pitchers to work on nowadays with arm injuries and stuff. Last but not least, we have the core velocity belt in here. I'll take it out and show you all what it looks like. But this thing right here basically goes around your hips and you can do a bunch of hip exercises with it. It loosens your hips and gets them more flexible for pitching, which has come out to be shoulder-hip separation has a lot to do with your velocity nowadays. So this is where I kind of increase on that and work on throwing harder. On the sides, we've got a few different things. In here, I've got some versions of different tripods I used to film for my YouTube channel. This is just a standard tripod. And then I have this for my phone as well. If I want to take some shots in my phone, this just comes up and then I can hook my phone up to it with the Bluetooth. And then my camera is normally in my bag as well, but I don't have it with me today. Then going into here, we've got a lot of different stuff. Arm sleeve I use for recovery. A few different headbands I use for under my hat because my hat's too big. So my hat flies off when I pitch. It really bothers me. So I wear the headband. I've got a mask in here for COVID in case I ever need one. And then my journal right here, which I write stuff down in for pitching and stuff like that. How I do on certain days, what I need to work on, different pitch variations that I like to work on, tunneling and stuff like that. Last is this shoulder tube. This is another one of those things like my bands. I need to have this with me before I throw. So I use this before every game and before every time I throw to get loose. Also great for recovery as well. But yeah, that is pretty much what is in my baseball bag.
