Baseball Trading Pins

Detail & story

What makes a great baseball trading pins.

At youth baseball and softball tournaments, every team designs a pin for the season and players trade with opponents between games — so a baseball trading pin has to stand out on the lanyard. We build them bigger than lapel pins, in bold soft enamel with dyed-black metal lines that make team colors pop.

The upgrades are what win trades: glitter enamel, a spinning baseball center, a dangler hanging below the main pin, a bobble-head, or blinking LEDs for night games. A custom die-cut shape (a pennant, a state, a mascot, home plate) costs no more than a circle because the die is cut to your art either way.

Cooperstown and softball-nationals trips have hard deadlines, so timing matters: send your artwork early and we’ll turn a sample in 5-7 days and bulk in about three weeks, with rush options when the tournament is close. Free design help converts a team logo into a trade-ready pin. See all trading pin options or browse our full pin range.
