Introducing D1 Athletics

D1 Athletics, a game-changing force in the world of baseball.

As we continue to witness the evolution of sports, it is crucial to align ourselves with organizations that are committed to pushing the boundaries of excellence. D1 Athletics stands at the forefront, empowering baseball and softball athletes.

Our Mission: "Changing the game, one glove at a time."

The D1 Revolution began in April 2022 when our founder, the inventor of the DINGER GRIP PRO SERIES PREMIUM BATTING GLOVES, Fernando Villarreal, created D1 Baseball Gloves LLC.

Fernando was born and raised in San Juan TX, where he now resides and operates D1 Athletics. He grew up with a love for the game and has since shared that passion with his own children. Being a travel baseball dad, one day while buying equipment for his boys the idea to build a batting glove with performance-enhancing qualities came to him.

Putting all fear aside, after a lifelong career in construction, Fernando persevered with unparalleled resilience through every obstacle ahead to make his dreams a reality. After months of trial and error, rigorous product testing, and trying out countless manufacturers, the revolutionary patented DINGER GRIP PRO SERIES PREMIUM BATTING GLOVE was ready to hit the market.

Present day, The DINGER GRIP PRO SERIES PREMIUM BATTING GLOVES are the ONLY gloves on the market with a built-in hitting aid. Designed to:

• Enhance Performance & Consistency
• Enforce Proper Barrel Alignment & Contact Point
• Increase Stability & Bat Control
• Reduce Recoil
