ABOUT US
Fat Batz is the brainchild of CEO John Austin – a seasoned toy designer who has worked on some of the biggest brands in the industry, including Transformers, Fortnite, Marvel, Star Wars, Nerf, Jurassic Park, GI Joe, Sonic, Nintendo, Batman and many…many more.
John is also the proud father of two amazing boys who are passionate about baseball – his two favorite ballplayers. Inspired by their love of the game and noticing the trend for fun, creative, and stylish youth athletic fashion, he designed a few one-of-a-kind shirts for his 4th grader and his friends. The response was instant: the designs were a hit. That’s when the vision for Fat Batz was born.
Fat Batz is more than just apparel – it’s a celebration of the baseball lifestyle, blending the joy, creativity, and color of youth sports and youth fashion with the playful imagination of toy design. Our goal is to create premium, fun, and bold pieces that players, fans, and families can love and wear with pride.
We’re a start-up, learning as we go, and we’re just getting started. With your support, we hope to grow Fat Batz into a brand that’s loved by fans in every school, playground, baseball field and across the globe. Thank you for joining us on this adventure.
