Nathan Rueckert - Founder of Baseball Seams Co. - Restoration into the Game-ball He Intended Us to Be

Mission: “We strive to honor God and reflect His Love by creating unique, meaningful products that connect people and transform relationships through the platform of baseball.”

What Nate has come to appreciate about the Baseball Seams Company is that they aren’t just an entity that exists to make cool things. It goes much deeper than that. They take old, worthless baseballs and give them new life because that’s what God does with us through Jesus. He takes our brokenness, our failures, our resentment, our addictions, our imperfections and decides to love us anyways.

Unconditionally. Recklessly.

Baseball Seams Co. has grown from just Nate in his basement to over 10 part-time production analysts and artwork apprentices, a social media team, and an operations manager that oversees it all. They’ve outsourced shop space in downtown Sioux Falls for order fulfillment, shipping and receiving and just completed their first published book titled America At The Seams: 50 Stories in 50 States of How Baseball Unites Our Country.
