Batting Gloves in Baseball Gear & Equipment(255)

Batting gloves

A good pair of baseball batting gloves is an effective way to make sure that even when the pressure is on your grip stays true. With improved grip, you have more control over your swing. The gloves also dampen vibrations through the bat to lessen the risk of injury.

Fit: The most important thing is to make sure you get a good fit. If your gloves are loose, they may slip at an inappropriate time, so they should be snug without being uncomfortably tight.

Fabric: The main fabric choices are leather and synthetic leather. Leather offers the best grip, but synthetic leather tends to be more flexible.

Shape: Some gloves have a low profile so as not to impede wrist movement. Others extend past the wrist for added support. Make sure you get the style you are most comfortable with.
