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. |
