About us

The Beginning

Hot Hitter Sports started in 2017 with one simple idea: give baseball and softball players an alternative to big-name brands, offering gear that is both high-quality and comfortable without breaking the bank. Founded by Felix Brown, Hot Hitter quickly grew by partnering with top players and teams across France, Spain, The Netherlands, and Europe, building a community of athletes who value performance, craftsmanship, and style.

From the early days of selling gloves and accessories, our vision expanded into creating products that tell a story—gear that players can trust on the field and cherish off it.

Two Brands, One Vision

To serve players and fans with precision and creativity, Hot Hitter was structured into two distinct brands:

  • Diamond King – premium leather fielding gloves and lifestyle gear, honoring the art of defense.

  • Hot Hitter – professional wood bats, custom trophies, and unique upcycled wood accessories, connecting players to the spirit of the game.

Each brand has its own identity, while sharing the same mission: quality, performance, and innovation for baseball and softball athletes.
