Marucci and GTS’ shared mission is to provide athletes with the tools they need to be successful on and off the field. By joining the Founders’ Club, GTS is granted access to superior product, dedicated support, and first access to innovation from Marucci, and newly acquired brand, Lizard Skins.

“All of us at GTS Baseball & Softball are honored to be a part of the Marucci Founders' Club! It’s truly amazing what Marucci has built, and we look forward to growing the game with them by our side,” said Michael Gonzalez, Director of GTS Baseball & Softball.

The Founders’ Club is an elite alliance of some of the nation’s premier amateur baseball and fastpitch programs that share the Marucci core values. These clubs are selected based on their dedication to excellence, reputation as a positive influence in their community, and commitment to growing their organization.

“Picking up GTS is a big win for Marucci Fastpitch. With their state-of-the-art facilities for training athletes and top-notch leadership, their organization is the ideal partner. We look forward to working with them and growing in the Midwest territory,” said Allison Parsell, Director of Softball Sales at Marucci.

GTS is one of the fastest growing baseball and softball organizations in Wisconsin. Combined with GTS Performance, GTS is built for the dedicated and competitive athlete looking to play at the highest level.

After years of dominating baseball, the next chapter of Marucci’s story is to bring the same passion for innovation to fastpitch. Years of athlete data and rigorous testing went into the development of the newly released Echo DMND bat line that is earning its way onto fastpitch fields across the country. Marucci’s fastpitch product offering also includes fielding gloves, batting gloves, bags, apparel, and protective gear.
