Rawlings® Partners with Cosmic Baseball League

In an exciting partnership announced on March 18, 2026, Rawlings®, the iconic brand synonymous with baseball, has become the official equipment manufacturer for the Cosmic Baseball League (CBL). This innovative league, which uniquely combines America's pastime with a vibrant glow-in-the-dark twist, has captivated fans since its inception in June 2024.

Rawlings will supply its latest lineup of premium baseball gear to the league's teams, including the Cosmic Chili Peppers and Glow Mojis. The equipment will be featured prominently during games played under black light, enhancing the dynamic atmosphere and offering a visually stunning experience for fans.

Bryan Kaye, Director of Brand Engagement at Rawlings, stated, "At Rawlings, we’re committed to innovation and elevating the game of baseball at every level. The Cosmic Baseball League is redefining what a night at the ballpark can be, and we’re thrilled to provide the equipment that will help players shine, literally and figuratively, on this one-of-a-kind stage." This partnership signals Rawlings' ongoing dedication to pushing the boundaries in the world of baseball, promising players the highest quality gear tailored for both performance and style.

The Cosmic Baseball League Experience

The Cosmic Baseball League brings an electrifying new approach to baseball, transforming traditional gameplay into an immersive spectacle. Games take place under black lights, with everything from uniforms to equipment designed to glow, creating a vibrant party-like atmosphere in the stands. Players and fans alike engage in a unique experience that combines competition with entertainment.

To add to its exclusivity, the league employs a lottery system for ticket sales, making attendance a coveted opportunity rather than an everyday occurrence. This adds an extra layer of excitement and rarity to each game.

As part of their multi-year agreement, Rawlings will have the first chance to supply equipment for any new teams that may join CBL, ensuring they stay at the forefront of this cutting-edge baseball league's evolution.

Equipment Lineup and Retail Plans

The partnership will encompass a wide range of product categories, including:

• - Baseball gloves
• - Batting gloves
• - Batting helmets
• - Catcher’s gear
• - Wood and non-wood bats
• - Player accessories and bags

With the first showcase of this powerful partnership set for the 2026 season, fans can look forward to witnessing the top-of-the-line equipment in action as players take to the field, glowing under the lights. Moreover, Rawlings has announced plans to unveil Cosmic Baseball-themed retail collections exclusively for the Cosmic Chili Peppers and Glow Mojis later in the year, allowing fans to bring a piece of this innovative experience home.
