Welcome to a new world of baseball and softball glove excitement! In Akadema's short but remarkable history, it has become America's hottest baseball and softball glove companies for professional, college, high school, and youth players. The Akadema® phenomenon started with the Professional Glove Series and continues with the Reptilian®, Praying Mantis®, Prodigy™ , Funnel™ , Prosoft™ , and Precision Kip™ Glove Series - as well as the Amish® Wood Bats, Tacktion® Grip, and Xtension® Aluminum Bat Series. Watch this video of Akadema's professional wood bat manufacturing process.

Lawrence Gilligan is Akadema Professional’s president, and also a former All-American and pro player with the St. Louis Cardinal and Chicago Whitesox organizations. Lawrence explains the Akadema Professional phenomenon as such, “When I was playing college and pro ball I was always looking for a glove which was designed for my position. It seemed the corporate glove companies churned out cookie cutter styles that had little to do with quality, feel, or design to raise the level of play. We set out to change that".

Akadema's products are manufactured for professional players but are available for semi pro, college, high school, and serious youth players. Akadema continues to design products with the professional player in mind but are competitively priced for the professional player at heart. So it's your turn to think like a professional, play like a professional, and use Akadema Professional!
