Pantalons

• Open-bottom pants are full-length with a loose hem that falls over the cleat. It’s the most popular modern look.

• Closed-bottom pants have an elastic cuff at the ankle for a clean, fitted finish.

• Knicker pants stop below the knee and are worn with high socks for a classic look.

• Jogger-style pants have a tapered leg and cuffed ankle, popular for practice and a modern style.

Shop men’s pants, women’s pants, boys’ pants and girls’ pants.

Knicker (or knee-high ) pants stop below the knee and are worn with tall socks for a classic look; full-length open-hem pants run to the ankle. It comes down to team style and preference.

It’s mostly about style and team rules. Open-bottom pants offer a relaxed, pro look and are adjustable in length. Closed-bottom pants stay in place at the ankle and won’t drag on the dirt or get caught under your cleats. Many teams require all players to wear the same style, so check with your coach.

Relaxed-fit pants are roomier through the leg for comfort and freedom of movement. Semi-relaxed, like the Rawlings PRO150, sits between the two. Tapered pants, like the Under Armour Utility Pro Tapered or Mizuno Premier Pro Tapered, narrow toward the ankle for a sleek, athletic look.

Comfortable through the hip and thigh with room to move and slide - not tight. Pair them with a belt to keep them set at the waist

Yes, softball players wear the same style of pants — many teams choose based on colour and cut rather than the sport itself.

Piped pants have a coloured stripe running down the outside of the leg, usually matched to the team’s colours. They’re available in full-length and knicker styles from brands like Easton and Louisville Slugger. Match the piping with your belt and socks.

Most baseball pants are made of polyester or a polyester-spandex blend. Stretch fabrics, like the UA Utility and Gameday Vanish, move with you on every swing and slide, and lightweight versions stay cooler in summer heat. Heavier fabrics are more durable and resist tears on the base paths.

Turn them inside out, wash in cold water and hang to dry. Skip fabric softener, which can reduce the stretch and moisture-wicking properties of performance fabrics. The dryer’s heat can shrink pants and set stains.
