    Sunglasses

    Players who prefer total unobstructed views and feels from the eye level going down may find this Rawlings sunglasses a most attractive choice! My child loves them because they look cool, polarized, offer UV protection, are durable and have lasted over a whole baseball season.

    Critique my 12u pitcher

    To an extent, arm sleeves help in arm positioning and muscle control which is very important in baseball. Although it might not directly affect your aim or your grip, the compression keeps your muscles from over-exerting unnecessary energy allowing you to play longer and with more energy to spare.

    Any Wilson A2000 glove dealers on here?

    You can lather on a layer of oil or conditioner made specifically for gloves. The application is a savior for dried out baseball gloves. Without their magic, the baseball glove will become stiff and crack. This is because of the picky nature of leather.

    Wilson customs black friday/cyber monday?

    Welting- A2000 baseball glove is slightly craggy. Unlike A2K gloves, it is well-crafted with extra rolled welting, resulting in a trouble-free catch and butt in.

    The Walmart Special has arrived (Mizuno Pro Select)

    If you do not have time to play baseball every single day, another option is to leave the glove with a ball. Fold the glove over the ball and then tightly seal this with a rope. This allows the glove to adjust around the ball’s shape so that it can form a pocket.

    Speed for So Cal Seth

    Speed or velocity tracking also determines your pitching strength. Thus, using a radar gun is like hitting two birds with one stone. Make sure only to use an accurate radar gun. Speed and distance readings should guide you in spotting areas in your throwing performance that need improvement.

    Pitcher's sleeve

    While I’ve found that Adidas focuses more on comfort and fit, Nike focuses more on flexibility and motion assistance. I mainly focus on pitching, but when I need to change positions throughout the game, I prefer to use baseball arm sleeves Nike designed instead of Adidas.

    Softball v. Baseball Glove?

    Everything relies on the player’s comfort. This is crucial for youth players in particular. They should protect their hands from possible damage, especially when considering the bat vibration that comes into contact with the ball. If your child wants to grow as a hitter, they must be able to...

    Sunglasses recommendations

    My 10-year old loved this sunglass from Rawlings so much because it does weigh the slightest, even with its solid frames. My kid’s previous glasses were too heavy on him, so he is easily distracted when he is playing baseball. I am happy with these glasses because, for the first time, I do not...

    Glove Recomendations

    This Mizuno baseball glove is a very soft and flexible feel. Our daughter felt its softness right at first. Even when he was adjusting to the new glove, she immediately controlled her pitching ability. The glove’s ability to bend on pressure makes all these possible

    Player sunglasses

    I also have one from Oakley. It helped me a lot, especially with sweating. You see, I am sweaty every time I play baseball. Also, I move a lot. Its ear socks and fine plastic material add to its already firm grip.
