NJCAA, TUCCI Partner on Baseball, Softball Equipment

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA (May 22, 2026) — The National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) announced a new partnership with TUCCI Limited, the baseball and softball equipment brand of Certor Sports, to support NJCAA baseball and softball programs across the country.

TUCCI Limited will become an exclusive partner of the NJCAA, serving as the Official Bat and Helmet of NJCAA Baseball and Softball, creating new opportunities to connect NJCAA member colleges, coaches and student-athletes with high-quality baseball and softball equipment. TUCCI’s product line includes BBCOR baseball bats and fastpitch softball bats certified by USSSA and USA Softball.

“The NJCAA is proud to welcome TUCCI Limited as a partner committed to supporting the growth and success of two of our most competitive and tradition-rich sports,” said Dr. Christopher Parker, NJCAA President & CEO. “Baseball and softball continue to provide meaningful opportunities for student-athletes at the two-year level, and partnerships like this help strengthen the resources available to our member colleges and championship programs.”

TUCCI originated in wood bats and expanded into metal and composite bats, batting helmets, batting gloves and protective equipment. The company is headquartered in Plainfield, Indiana, outside of Indianapolis, and was founded in 2009.

“Partnering with the NJCAA is a defining moment for TUCCI,” said Tom Burns, TUCCI General Manager. “These student-athletes compete with everything they have every single day, and they deserve equipment built with that same level of commitment. TUCCI was built on the belief that every detail matters, and this partnership is a natural extension of that standard. We are honored to stand behind the hardworking men and women of NJCAA Baseball and Softball.”

As part of the partnership, the NJCAA and TUCCI Limited will work together to develop promotional opportunities, team sales initiatives and brand visibility across NJCAA baseball and softball platforms. The partnership will also position TUCCI to engage directly with NJCAA member institutions seeking premium equipment options for practice, competition and team use.

The NJCAA sponsors baseball and softball championships at the Division I, II and III levels, providing national championship opportunities for programs and student-athletes throughout the association.

Certor Sports is a member and supporter of NSGA.
