Mission Statement

At Fresh Inning, we believe clean gear isn’t optional — it’s required.

Founded by former collegiate and professional players Justeven Tate and Kenneth Cruz, we know that elite performance demands discipline in every area: skill development, nutrition, recovery — and sanitation. Yet equipment hygiene is one of the most overlooked parts of athlete health.

Helmets, catcher’s gear, and protective equipment trap sweat and bacteria daily. Without proper cleaning, they can harbor lice, MRSA, staph infections, ringworm, mold, mildew, viruses, and other harmful pathogens that spread quickly through teams and locker rooms.

That’s where we step in.

We do all the work. We handle the heavy lift.
Fresh Inning is a fully managed, on-the-go service built for busy families, coaches, and organizations.
