Catchers Gear and Catchers Equipment

Nike Baseball
If you are serious about catching, you should consider buying your own set of catcher's gear. This gear should fit you properly. Proper fitting gear is important for two main reasons: safety and performance. A complete set of gear and a glove can be fairly expensive. I suggest you shop around different sports stores in your area or check online to find equipment in your price range.

  • Catchers Gear Cost - How much should you spend?

    Expect to spend about $150 for a complete set of the basic catchers gear and catchers glove. Higher end gear and the top of the line gloves can combine for a $900 price tag. A typical or average set of gear with a decent mitt will run you around the $300 range. If you still have a lot of growing to do, it is probably not a good idea to invest in a full set of gear. Your team should have gear you can use. However, I would recommend buying your own catchers glove. Make sure everything you purchase has a warranty!

    Some brands that you should consider for gloves include: Wilson, Easton, Mizuno, Rawlings, Akadema, and Nokona.

    Brands that sell shin guards, chest protectors, helmets, and bags are: Rawlings, Easton, Wilson, Mizuno, All Star, Diamond, McGregor, Nike, Under Armour, and Schutt.
