The world of professional fastpitch softball continues to grow and the Florida Vibe organization has announced a significant partnership with Mizuno for 2026.

Mizuno, the global sports equipment and sportswear company with U.S. headquarters in Peachtree Corners, Ga., will be the main partner with the pro team that competes in the Fastpitch United Pro Series league and is based in Bradenton, Fla.

Mizuno will be the official uniform and equipment provider for the Vibe and, in the sport of softball, is recognized as a leader in producing gloves, bats and footwear for ages ranging from youth up through the professional ranks.

Vibe Team President Ryan Moore told Line Drive Softball that the partnership shows the continued growth of professional fastpitch and recognition by many of the top companies in the world.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with such an iconic brand like Mizuno for our uniforms, apparel, and equipment,” Moore said.

“Mizuno is a worldwide company that recognizes the Florida Vibe professional team in the worldwide space of fastpitch softball.”

Leah Majeski, the Mizuno Team Sports Marketing Manager, agreed adding:

“Mizuno is thrilled to partner with the Florida Vibe and work alongside a team that shares our passion for innovation and athlete empowerment. We look forward the opportunities ahead and the impact we will create together.”

Florida by Athletics, the organization behind the Vibe, was established in August of 2021 and is now in its fifth season. The team will compete in spring, summer and fall seasons next year.

Additionally, Florida Vibe is currently the longest continuous-running professional fastpitch program in the United States. 

Moore adds:

“Together with Mizuno, we will keep building the professional fastpitch space while clothing our athletes with top apparel and equipment.”
