A Look at Baseball Batting Gloves

The first baseball gloves to hit the field were created sometime in the late 1800s. These gloves were simplistic compared to today's models. Early gloves were usually made of thin pieces of leather and were precursors to the advanced baseball gloves of today. An item that was not generally used, even during the time of the first baseball glove, was the baseball batting glove.

Every baseball glove manufacturer in the United States produces baseball batting gloves. You can find them at online retailers, online auction sites, at sports stores and even at discount retailers. Baseball batting gloves are not nearly as costly as traditional baseball gloves. One can usually purchase a pair of gloves for between $10 and $20 at most stores.

The player that is up-to-bat can benefit tremendously from a good pair of baseball batting gloves. These gloves can help to increase the quality of their grip; maintaining a tight and controlled grip is essential to successful hits. Any professional, or non-professional for that matter, will tell you that even the slightest slip or variation in grip can cost the team


greatly.

Just as baseball-batting gloves provide protection against slips due to a bad grip or perspiration on the hands, they also serve as a protection device. Batters need to protect their hands when sliding into a base. Baseball-batting gloves serve at least two purposes: to maintain a good grip and to protect the player's hands when sliding.

Some glove manufacturers also have a version of the baseball batting glove available that fits underneath the standard baseball glove. Other players choose to wear the baseball batting glove underneath the traditional glove to add additional comfort. They find that wearing this glove beneath the other will provide a better fit and additional protection against the sting of catching the ball.
