We’re building a home for the game in every market we enter. Houston, Texas is next. Fall 2026, and we can’t wait to meet you.
Better Baseball Houston (Katy) is opening Fall 2026 — join the founding team. Better Baseball is hiring a Glove World Specialist who lives and breathes gloves, from the moment a player walks in looking for their perfect fit to the day that same glove comes back in need of new life. You’ll start by fitting players into the right glove for their position, hand, and playing style, because performance begins before the first catch. From there, you’ll assess, repair, and restore gloves to peak condition through expert relacing, reconditioning, and rebuilding, keeping every player’s most trusted piece of equipment game-ready for the long haul. This role is equal parts craftsperson and player advocate. Strong hands-on skills, deep knowledge of glove construction and materials, and a genuine passion for helping players perform at their highest level are a must.
