The Dog Days of Summer

It’s hard to imagine that after almost 100 games this season, there’s another 60+ yet to play for each and every MLB team. 162 opportunities each year – to right a season heading in the wrong direction or to accept fate and plan for a high draft pick next July.

 In these moments, in the heat of the summer sun, are when players need tools that not only enhance their performance but reduce and alleviate injuries. It’s the reason why so many MLB players choose Blumaka Konnect insoles. Every player is always looking for an edge and Blumaka’s insoles are statistically proven to improve your athletic performance, whether you’re in the batter’s box, on the field, or pushing off the rubber.

All-Star Pablo López of the Minnesota Twins says “I’m a huge fan of the Blumaka Konnect…I won’t pitch without them.” He relies on them like so many other pros, because Blumaka’s proprietary non-slip technology secures your foot, increasing stability – especially when you’re pushing downhill off the mound. It helps accelerate your downward momentum, helping deliver each pitch with the most power your body can generate.

The benefits aren’t limited to pitching, as Gold Glove winner Brendan Donovan of the St. Louis Cardinals can attest. “Blumaka insoles are a subtle, yet game-changing product. I will not play another game without them.” Pivoting to turn a double play or planting to throw back into the infield after chasing a long fly, requires responsive support and the knowledge your foot won’t slip when you’re stepping. 

 “When your foot slips even the slightest bit in your shoe, you’re not going to get your maximum output of force. It’s no ordinary slice of foam, but a crucial piece of equipment,” says Mike Yastrzemski, outfielder for the San Francisco Giants. The confidence in knowing you’re supported whether you’re tracking a ball or making a sharp cut because of a funky hop, is unmatched.

That difference and added lower body power can be detrimental over the long season, when the wear and tear on your body is undeniable. Simply put “if my team is wearing Konnect and yours isn’t, we have the competitive advantage,” says Donnie Ecker, Bench Coach/Offensive Coordinator for the Texas Rangers.
