Apparel

The main choice is the length and style. Full-length pants with an open bottom are the most popular modern look. Knicker-style pants stop below the knee and are worn with high socks for a classic look. Piped pants add a coloured stripe down the leg to match team colours. Shop men’s pants, women’s pants, boys’ pants and girls’ pants.

Sliding shorts are compression shorts worn under baseball pants, with padding on the hips and thighs to protect against scrapes and bruises when sliding. Most boys’ and men’s models also include a pocket to hold a protective cup. Shop men’s, women’s, boys’ and girls’ sliding shorts.

Over-the-calf socks are the traditional choice, especially with knicker-style pants, where the socks are part of the uniform look. With full-length pants, many players wear shorter performance socks. Brands like Stance offer cushioned, moisture-wicking options. Shop adult socks and youth socks.

Early-season games can be cold. Layer a compression or long-sleeve shirt under your jersey, add a player sleeve on your throwing arm, and keep a jacket in the dugout between innings. Pitchers often wear a jacket on the bases to keep their arm warm.

Kids grow fast, but baseball pants that are too long or loose can bunch up and slow them down. Choose the size that fits now, or one size up at most. Sliding shorts and compression shirts should be snug. Shop youth shirts, youth jackets and youth shorts.

Treat stains as soon as possible after the game. Rinse with cold water, apply a stain remover and gently scrub with a brush, then let it sit before washing in cold water. Avoid hot water and the dryer, which can set the stains. Never use bleach on pants with coloured piping, as it can fade the stripes. Many players keep two pairs of white baseball pants for tournament weekends.

Measure your waist and inseam, then compare with the brand’s size chart. Adult pants are usually sized by waist (S, M, L, XL), while youth pants are sized by age or youth size. Pants should sit comfortably at the waist with a belt, and full-length pants should break just above the cleat. Shop men’s pants and boys’ pants.

Yes, a protective cup is strongly recommended for all male players, and required by many youth leagues, especially for catchers and infielders. Most boys’ sliding shorts and men’s sliding shorts have a built-in cup pocket. Cups are available in our player protection collection.
