ABOUT US
Feel the Action with JTL
JTL 07, LLC is a single-member, baseball-focused business headquartered in Fillmore, California, and owned and operated by James T. Latshaw. The company is designed to serve young players and their families by offering baseball equipment, protective gear, and related training products tailored to safe player development. The company’s advantage is its founder’s direct experience as a college student-athlete, which allows the business to offer practical, current, player-informed recommendations instead of generic sporting goods sales.
Business Model
JTL, llc will use a low-cost hybrid sales model during its startup phase. Sales channels may include direct local delivery, online or social media orders, scheduled meetups at fields, event-based selling, and small partnerships with leagues or coaches. This approach reduces fixed overhead and protects the business from the heavy rent and build-out costs that often make physical sporting goods stores expensive to launch.
Market Opportunity
The target market is made up of youth baseball players, parents, recreational league families, travel-ball families, and local community programs in and around California. The business addresses a clear convenience gap: families often need help selecting specialized equipment and may not have a nearby baseball-focused supplier with current product knowledge. A niche operator can compete by offering speed, expertise, and community presence even though the wider sporting goods sector remains price-sensitive and competitive.
