Trending bats
These are the hottest bats on the market right now for all ages.
This bat has a huge sweet spot and is one of the hottest bats in all age groups.
Rawlings Icon
This is a very balanced bat and is good for people like me that aren't as big and are more contact hitters. This is personally the bat that I use in college right now. The newer versions of the bat are more durable but all versions have good pop.
2024 DeMarini Voodoo® One (-3) BBCOR Bat
This bat has probably the most pop in the game right now. It is very light weight and punishes baseballs. It is also very durable compared to some of the other bats.
2023 Louisville Slugger Atlas (-3) BBCOR Baseball Bat
The goods one piece is a very well-known bat for power hitters. Its end loaded weight allows for power hitters to hit baseballs very far when they are in the zone.
2022 The Goods (-3) BBCOR Baseball Bat
For younger age groups this is by far the best bat on the market right now.
2024 Easton Hype Fire USSSA Baseball Bat, -10, -8, -5
For t-ball bats I would recommend Rawlings. These are the bats I used as a kid, and they are very durable. The durability is more important than the pop at this age.
USA Bats
The CatX is a really popular bat in the game right now. It is a balanced and has a lot of pop. The only complaint I would have is the sound when you hit the ball makes a really loud ping sound.
Marucci CATX
Quality Fielding Gloves
For gloves I usually have stuck with Wilson but this last season I recently got a Rawlings heart of the hide glove. Both of these options are good for the infield which is what I play, but for outfielders I would go with an A200. Infield gloves are g...
This is personally the glove I will be using for the 2023 season. It is a little cheaper than other gloves on the market and it is made out of quality leather. There are a lot of different color options available.
Rawlings Heart of the Hide 11.5-inch Infield Glove
The A2k was a glove that lasted me all four years of high school and is my top recommendation when it comes to gloves. It is a little more money, but it is definitely worth it.
2022 A2K SC1786 11.5" Infield Baseball Glove
This is the best outfield glove out there. It is durable and has the extra length to get to baseballs when tracking them down. The A200 is also good as an infield glove.
Outfield - Baseball Gloves & Mitts
2nd place when it comes to quality in the infield. A little cheaper option.
2022 A2000 1786 11.5" Infield Baseball Glove
Batting Gloves
No batting gloves seem to last more than a season but these are the ones I have found to last the longest.
These are hands down the strongest and best batting gloves no matter what anyone says. These will last you 3 times the amount of time as other batting gloves.
Bruce Bolt Batting Gloves
These are the only other option for durable batting gloves. Plus, you can get the warranty from dicks sporting goods and get new ones every time they rip.
Franklin Adult Powerstrap Batting Gloves
For younger players getting cheap batting gloves from Walmart is a good option. They will last you a good bit while you are trying to figure out where you are going with baseball.
Franklin Batting Gloves
Helmets
I would encourage getting a helmet that has a C-flap because I have seen too many kids get hit in the face over the years of playing.
This is the helmet that I use. You can switch the flap on either side. This is beneficial for switch hitters.
Rawlings Mach Batting Helmet with EXT Flap
This is personally the helmet that I use. I like the way it fits and the way it looks. The helmet does not matter that much just make sure there is a flap to protect the jaw.
Easton Baseball Helmets
Cleats
If you are going with comfort I would go for some new balances and if you are going for light weight and speed, I would go with adidas.
These are good for training off the field in a batting cage or on a turf field.
New Balance Turf Shoes
These are really good for comfort and I needed new balance cleats as a kid because I had issues with my heel having pain.
New Balance Fresh Foam X 3000 v6 Metal Synthetics
These are the cleats that I always buy because they are very lightweight and feel like tennis shoes when you are playing. I highly recommend these cleats.
Adidas Adizero Cleats
Protective Wear
This is a very important section because getting hit with a baseball or fouling a baseball into yourself can be very painful. These are more important as you go up in age groups.
Elbow guards are very important for protecting the hitters elbow because the elbow is a very sensitive spot that can take you out for the season.
Baseball Elbow Guards
These are more used for protecting the hitter from foul balls of their bat.
Leg Guards
This is used for fast runners that steal bases. It protects the runners' fingers when they slide into bases.
Sliding Mitt
Arm sleeves are used to compress the arm to protect it and it is also used for looks. I use it more for looks but people with arm pain actually need it.
