The most important sponsorship for a hitter is the baseball bat, and Nomura Katsuhiko accepted an offer from Chandler, a brand founded in 2009. Although it's a young brand, it has gained popularity among baseball players due to its outstanding quality, and its market share in Major League Baseball is continuously increasing.
The choice of this brand mainly stemmed from the irresistible offer they presented, which far exceeded those from industry giants like Marucci and Victus. Additionally, Nomura Katsuhiko saw potential for growth with this brand, and signing with a high-end custom bat brand like Chandler would also help enhance Lin Guanglai's brand value.
As for other equipment including cleats, protective gear, sleeves, and training clothes, Nomura Katsuhiko packaged them all together and signed a multi-year sponsorship contract with the American brand Nike.
