Randall Thompson

Thompson Mug Company

Randall Thompson grew up in Orlando. The game of baseball became a large part of his life and through hard work and ethics, he earned opportunities to play the game at the collegiate and professional levels. Back in 2014, the inspiration for his product “THE DUGOUT MUG” struck while coaching at Florida Tech. He was sitting in the dugout and listening to the hitting coach tell the guys to “focus on the hands.” To emphasize his point, he cut off the top of a baseball bat and left the barrel sitting on the bench. The idea hit Randall like a 12^th inning walk-off home run. “I could definitely drink from a bat!” he told himself. The rest is history.

Shortly after, he began pursuing his vision by sketching the very first Bat Mug on a scrap piece of paper. After he left baseball he poured his creativity into this passionate idea and the result was the Thompson Mug Company and the Dug Out Mug ^TM baseball bat mug!
