Baseball / Softball Protective Gear
Materials
Different materials are used for protective gear. Arm sleeves are made from flexible cloth. The products in this category are designed to provide maximum comfort and flexibility during the game. These arm sleeves also offer warmth, which helps reduce the risk of muscle injuries. The inside of elbow protection is made of soft fabric, while the outside is made of sturdy plastic. Baseball elbow protection is designed to protect the player from wide pitches. They also keep the elbow in place, ensuring that it doesn’t overstretch.
Hand guards are designed to provide protection when batting. They offer maximum protection and comfort to the hand, thanks to the finger loops at the end of the guard. The outer part of the hand guards is often made of ABS plastic. Most hand protection is padded for added comfort.
Knee guards provide extra support for players who have had previous injuries or want to prevent them. They also offer more protection by absorbing the impact from balls thrown erratically. Despite offering more support, they don't hinder flexibility, allowing players to make the necessary movements for their team. Most knee protectors are made from foam and polyester fabric.
If hand protection isn’t enough, a wrist guard can be used to protect the vulnerable part of the body, providing strength while batting or throwing. Wrist guards are designed to offer maximum protection and comfort while still allowing flexibility during batting. Most wrist guards are made of foam, plastic, and are often padded. If you often get hit by wild throws, then consider using shin guards.
History
Currently, wearing protective gear is mandatory. However, this was not always the case. Batting helmets became widespread during the later years of baseball. The first baseball helmet was created in 1905 by inventor Frank Mogridge, although it was a crude version of the modern baseball helmet. Since 1983, most forms of protection became mandatory in the sport. Today, there is a wide variety of softball/baseball protective gear, all of which is necessary for the protection of players' bodies. Without proper protection, playing baseball or softball can be dangerous. Protective gear is mandatory in almost all baseball federations. A ball hitting you without protection can be dangerous. Therefore, make sure you have the best protection!
User Moment
