BUILT BY PROS. TRUSTED BY ATHLETES.
Guardian Baseball isn’t just another brand—it’s a movement. Built by former pro player Matt Joyce, travel ball organizer owner Zev Bernard, and e-commerce executive Matt Kubancik, Guardian Baseball was created to change the game. Tired of seeing athletes and parents overpay for gear, they cut out the middleman to bring elite-quality equipment straight to the players—no crazy markups, no compromises.
With 250+ pros testing and trusting our gear, we’re talking next-level sliding mitts, guards, bat bags, and cleats—all designed for performance that lasts season after season. Available online, on Amazon, at Walmart, and through retail partners—wherever you play, we got you.
MORE THAN A BRAND—A COMMUNITY
Baseball should be for everyone. That’s why Guardian Baseball is committed to giving back—20,000+ pieces of gear donated across the U.S., Africa, the Dominican Republic, and Venezuela, helping young athletes step up to the plate. No barriers, no limits—just the love of the game.
BUILT DIFFERENT
☆ Pro-level design
☆ High-performance materials
☆ Built to last
From the dugout to the diamond, Guardian Baseball is about quality you can feel and gear you can trust—because when you step onto the field, nothing should hold you back.
ZEV BERNARD | Founder
A former college baseball player from Los Angeles, Zev Bernard turned his passion for the game into a mission to grow the sport among today’s youth. He founded the Wolves Baseball Organization and later launched Guardian Baseball to bring top-tier gear and resources to players at every level.
Now based in Louisville, Zev runs an indoor training facility and works closely with 15 youth travel teams—giving him deep insight into what players and coaches truly need. His experience as both an athlete and entrepreneur has been instrumental in shaping Guardian Baseball into the trusted brand it is today.
Matt Kubancik | Co-Founder
From selling sports cards on eBay as a teen to leading multi-million dollar ventures, Matt Kubancik has always blended his passion for sports with entrepreneurial drive. His career spans successful startups in fashion and tech, where he honed a deep understanding of e-commerce, operations, and scaling brands.
As a father and lifelong sports fan, Matt’s connection to the game became personal when his kids joined Zev Bernard’s baseball teams. Their shared vision sparked a friendship—and ultimately the creation of Guardian Baseball.
Today, Matt brings his business expertise and love for the game to the heart of Guardian Baseball, helping shape a brand that equips the next generation of players with the tools they need to succeed on and off the field.

Son is hitting bombs
"Son is hitting bombs with this bat. He says the bat swings easily. He also says the bat feels balanced and the grip continues to stay tacky."
