Inside the case

WHAT MAKES THIS CASE DIFFERENT?

Every detail on this case solves a specific problem travel families run into on tournament weekends, from a bat that needs its own space to a checked bag fee that adds up fast. Here's what's built into the case and why each piece matters once you're packing for a flight.

ONE BAG INSTEAD OF MULTIPLE BAGS

Secures the case like real luggage, no key to lose.

TSA-APPROVED COMBINATION LOCK

Added extra protection for all your gear from departure to destination.

REMOVABLE FOAM BAT BARREL INSERT

Extra cushioning helps keep your bats protected while 
on the road.

REMOVABLE INTERNAL PACKING SHELF

Create the setup that works best for your gear and packing style.

3 LARGE INTERNAL GEAR POCKETS

Keep essentials separated and easy to find when you need them.

REMOVABLE TOILETRY BAG

Keep personal items contained, accessible 
and out of the way.

WE BUILT THE BAG WE COULD NOT BUY

143 Baseball was born from two trips, two broken bats, and one realization: regular luggage wasn’t built for athletes. We set out to create better gear for traveling athletes, inspired by our sons and their jersey numbers, 14 and 3.

  • Built by travel baseball parents who've made every one of these trips.
  • Coaches and players who've seen it ask where to buy one.

Questions

BEFORE YOU BUY

Can I bring it into the field?

You can, but we suggest you don’t. This case is built for travel days, not the dugout. Most families use it to check gear for the trip, then switch to a field bag once they’ve arrived.

Can I check it as one bag instead of a bat bag and a suitcase?

Yes, this case is built to replace both a separate bat bag and a suitcase, so you can check one bag instead of two and pack bats, gear, and clothes together.

Can I return it?

Yes! Unused bags in new, resalable condition may be returned within 30 days of delivery. Customers are responsible for return shipping.

View our full Return Policy for details.

Does it fit catcher's gear?

Yes, the main compartment adjusts to fit catcher’s gear alongside cleats, gloves, and clothing, in addition to the bats in the own separate compartment.

What happens if something breaks?

If something breaks due to a defect in materials or workmanship within one year of purchase, we’ll work with you to repair it, provide replacement parts, or replace the bag when appropriate.

View our full Warranty Policy and claim instructions.

What size bats does it fit?

Up to 34 inches, baseball or softball, with a removable foam insert that holds up to three bats at once.
