About Yardley Sports

“I started Yardley Sports to build the kind of gloves I would have wanted to use.”

Hello, thank you for visiting.

Yardley Sports is a baseball glove company based in St. George, Utah, founded by Braden Yardley. I started the company in 2020, but my story with baseball gloves began while playing baseball at Southern Utah University. After snapping a lace in my glove, I couldn't find anyone to repair it, so I learned how to do it myself.

That experience eventually led me to start Reglove, where I repaired thousands of gloves for players of all ages, including Major League Baseball players. Working on so many gloves taught me how patterns, materials, lacing, and construction affect the way a glove feels and performs. That experience became the foundation for Yardley Sports.

I've continued learning from professional players, coaches, leather tanneries, and glove factories around the world. Those experiences shape the gloves we design today.

Baseball has given me so much, and I believe it's important to give back to the game. I still travel to tournaments, answer customer emails myself, and enjoy meeting the players, parents, coaches, and families who make baseball special.

Thank you for supporting Yardley Sports and being part of what we're building.

  • Craftsmanship

    Building a baseball glove is both craftsmanship and artistry. Every material, pattern, and design choice affects how a glove looks, feels, and performs. At Yardley Sports, we focus on the details that make a glove enjoyable to use and built to last.

  • Understand the Materials

    Great gloves start with great materials. Visiting leather tanneries has taught me how different hides and tanning methods affect the feel, structure, durability, and performance of a glove. That knowledge helps us choose the right materials for each Yardley glove.

  • Keep Learning

    I've learned so much from the people who build baseball gloves every day. Conversations with glove makers, factory visits, and studying how gloves are made have helped me become a better craftsman and designer. I'm always looking for ways to learn and make our gloves better.
