Hi! We’re the Koelliker Family, the founders of Kore Baseball. Baseball has always been at the center of our home, and the idea for Kore came from our dad’s love for the game.

When he was a boy, he and his friends would play until the ball literally fell apart. If the leather cover tore off, they’d stuff it with soft material, lace it back together, and keep playing. That childhood memory planted the seed for what would later become the Kore Baseball—a softer ball with the look and feel of the real thing.

In 2014, he officially designed the Kore Baseball, believing it could help kids learn the game without the fear of being hit by a hardball. He wanted every child to experience the joy of baseball with confidence.

Not long after launching the business, our dad passed away from cancer. Losing him was incredibly hard, but continuing Kore Baseball has been one of the ways we honor his life and vision. Carrying on what he started has brought our family closer together, and it’s been amazing to see how many kids, parents, and coaches have embraced these products.

Today, our family is proud to continue what he began. Kore Baseball is more than just the baseball. For our family it’s a reminder of our dad, his creativity, and his love for the game. We hope it helps your family create the same kind of lasting baseball memories that shaped ours.
