The WORST Baseball Equipment  

Sliding mitts are to protect your hands when your base running

Whoever this is clearly played soccer growing up

Only real baseball players understand sliding mitts (If your a real baseball player) 👇

I’ve Injured my hand multiple times sliding into bases before I got a sliding mitt, haven’t hurt my hand since

Softball players looking at the face mask: "ah yes the requirement to pitch"

That thumb pro is legit.

At first I thought sliding mitts were stupid until I got cleated and broke a small bone in my hand so after that I had to buy a sliding mitt and it had worked perfectly

My guy sliding mitts make sense it's to protect your fingers protected when you slide 😂

I use the thumb guard and it helps me have palms up to not hit grounders and it helps not ring me up

No babe Ruth didn't use a thum gard but almost all big leagues do and a sliding mitt is so you don't jam your fingers in the base or get cleated

Baseball company making a vid like this is all I need to know

Bros tripping about the sliding mit 😂

he probably got cut off the jv team in 11th grade 😂

Sliding mitts are very important The thumb guard is used by some of the best mlb players including acuna

the pro hitter is actually amazing it doesn’t just stop your bat from stinging your hands in keeps the bat in your fingers the way it should be

Sliding mitts are used to protect your fingers from getting jammed or getting stepped on the base pass

I got cleated in the state championship game and had to come out for 3 innings because my hand wouldn’t stop bleeding, I don’t think sliding mitts are unnecessary

Soccer player tries baseball (Fails horribly because flopping on the ground isn’t a real sport)

Sliced my finger open without a sliding mitt and got one right after the game and haven’t hurt my hand since

sliding mitt is so you dnt get cleated ? lol

Sliding mits are to protect your hand from getting stepped on when sliding. However I don’t understand evoshields design bc the exposed thumb defeats the purpose. The face mask is not usually for baseball but for softball. Pitchers are required to wear them

“You think babe Ruth used a thumb pro” No buddy cause he didn’t have to. THEY WHERE THROWING MEATBALLS. OF CORSE THEY NEVER HAD TO USE THIS THING CAUSE THEY DIDNT HAVE TO FEEL A STINGING PAIN

That "binkie" is a thumb guard for catchers so u don't get ur thumb ripped off it u take it low in ur glove

Off topic but I was a catcher and basically there’s this one tall batter like really tall and he was standing very far back in the box and he ended up swinging and he ended up hitting his bat against my arm, and I had to go with the rest of the inning just stopping the ball because I couldn’t close my hand . Watch out all the catchers out there

sliding mitts just make sense

1 sliding mitt : is actually useful depending on what U your playing 2 face guard : are for (softball) players and they are required 3 thumb grip pro : they are used by most mlb players

First of all the first one is a sliding mit that prevents scratches on your hand when you slide so you don’t have to ruin your batting gloves while sliding.

The point of it is if you don't want to injure or break your fingers while sliding I actually hurt my finger really bad because of not having one stop being stupid they are not worthless.

Sliding mits look goofy but have a very important purpose they keep your hand from being stomped on and putting you out for the rest of the season

The THUMB PRO is a better version of the pro hitter used in MLB. Allows wrist to strap through the ball while preventing a death grip. Better b/c it doesn’t move around in the hand. That said, the little piece of silicone is crazy expensive to buy and lose.

are we baking cookies is crazy bro prob doesnt know a thing about baseball if he’s saying that about the sliding mitt

The first one is to prevent either breaking ur fingers if you dive or if someone steps on ur hand when you dive

I understand all of it also, the thumguard aka “binky” reduces the sting from hitting the ball.

So you don’t break your hand when sliding or when someone lands on it

1 for sliding so u don’t break a finger 2 for softball dummy 3 it is smaller than it looks and it is so that ur hands don’t sting

All that baseball equipment protects you. He couldn’t even name the equipment

the sliding mitt also helps when the 2nd base guy lands steps on your hand after jumping for the ball. but i still dont have one

this guy has no idea wut sliding mitts are

Sliding mitt is not worthless it in fact saved my finger when sliding into home plate when catcher stepped on my hand it could’ve been really bad he was wearing spiked cleats

Babe Ruth Didnt need no thumb guard when pitchers are throwing 60 mile per hour and he didn't even face a Dominican he is not the goat

I can tell this dude never felt his lungs burn and vomited up bile during a swim practice before swimming another 3 or 4000 yards.

I used a thumb ring back in 2013, because i had a hairline fracture the year before. I remember thinking it was the best-known invention to help me not "babby" my thumb when i hit. Im glad it caught on.

Him:“Do you think that Babe Ruth used that” Me: “Do you think that Babe Ruth faced a Dominican or Japanese pitcher throwing gas.”

Dude the sliding mitts r to protect your fingers. My friend slid and shortstop stepped on it and broke two fingers and got rushed to the hospital those r important and they can make you quit baseball which would suck.

The thumb pro is so you have a better grip on the bat. It pushes the bat more into your fingers giving it more whip

The sliding mitt makes sure you don't get your hands stepped on with a cleats

In my league it's a rule that you need to wear an infielding mask. I do play softball so it would hurt a lot more to get hit in the face by the ball, to be fair.

2nd one is if someone got a concussion

He's probably trying to get revenge for getting cut

Bro said do y u think babe Ruth wore a thumb pro acting like they had it back in the day 💀💀

The only one that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense is the mask but the sliding mitt is so when the shortstop steps on you with his metal spikes it doesn’t break your fingers, and then a lot of mlb players are actually starting to use that thing that goes on your bat because if you hit the ball in the wrong spot on the bat with a ball coming 100 mph it’s gonna hurt like crazy

But the first one is a sliding mitt and it’s for if you slide head first if somebody stomps on it it doesn’t hurt

I wanna get a plate crate so bad but my mom won’t let me she said it’s to expensive

Some people are forced to wear the facemask I can softball sliding mitts or for pro baseball players and stuff that actually like only real baseball players understand the assignment but those keep your hands protected for if you get stepped down or something so you don’t hurt yourself and who doesn’t look a thumb or a pro header like those are good to help you rolling over so shut your mouth

That mitt would’ve saved my homeboys hand last week 😂. After that I went and bought one fuck that lol. His whole hand was fucked up from sliding into a cleat, he broke 3 fingers.

I play in the pro league in PR and everyone had that thumb guard… tbh it works like a dream

Big leaguers use the thumb thing

Sliding mitts aren’t even until you use metal cleats

i got cleated on my finger stealing second needed stitches and was out the season, sliding mitt is definitely necessary

The basement is actually for we can reach to the base without our hands, touching the base

Facemask is an advantage. You can miss the ball in your face and still make the play.

It helps you not break your fingers when you slide head first

Tell me you don't play baseball, without telling me you don't play baseball.

As a catcher the thumb pro does help.

Softball girls: fielding masks are required. Pitching mainly, but my entire team is required it.

Sliding mitts are too protect the hand and give you farther reach, softball players are forced to wear face masks

I think have a sliding mitt just make sure it ain’t yellow

The facemask is something that softball has to have when you’re at a younger age

The thumb guard is when your catching

Pleas don't end up like him

When you hit dingers it hurts so that Binky looking thing works

The reason why we have facemasks is because we're girls in our face are a little bit more delicate than boys and as a picture we most likely wear them, but in my league, we still wear them because we're young younger

The no finger sliding mit is actually useful but the finger💀

The sling mitt is for show😂 and it protects you hand

Face mask is for softball btw a lot of girls wear it cause they sure as hell got pretty faces…and Isn’t that last one to help you prevent from rolling? It’s a training equipment not to prevent a sting

Him: "do you think babe ruth use a thumb pro" Me: do you think Babe ruth hit 100 mph with modern-day wood bats

I wear the thumb pro but it’s cause I hyper extended my thumb and it gets very sore in games

Thumbpro is awesome. I use it bc it helps me feel a better hand position when swinging.

How are sliding mitts useless they protect your hands and fingers while you are sliding like what the flip

This guy probably played cricket his whole life😂

Tell me you don’t play baseball without telling me you don’t play baseball.

RU-vidrs that make absolutely no sense pt 1

I don’t know about the mask. If you play slowpitch softball and pitch or play 3rd base, I can see it being useful. Everything is close and the ball speeds are crazy fast with those composite bats. Also, getting a bad bounce on these crappy fields can split your face open. It’s not worth a hospital bill when your kids are home needing food to eat.

The only reason sliding mits are good is they protect from cleats

Only people who like the sport know how important this stuff is

I agree just not for the sliding mitt

Babe Ruth never had to Deal with 98 running in on your hands.

The thumb protector is necessary so you don’t break your thumb

Yeah babe Ruth also only hit off pitchers throwing like 85 max 💀

Can we all agree this kid knows nothing about baseball

Sure buddy we all need this

one thing the face mask is for softball idk if baseball uses it but for rgmvm you don’t have too for baseball, meanwhile lay your judgey opinion of this amazing sport ❤️❤️

sliding mitts are fire idc what no one says

The first one is to protect your fingers

Sliding mits. When you dont want dirt on your hands when sliding 💅

I don’t give a shit if babe Ruth didn’t use a god damn thumb guard I’m not facing plumbers throwing low 70’s also sliding mitt is to help not jam ur fingers on the bag and not get them stepped on

No babe Ruth didn’t use it becasue they didn’t have it back then but Jake crownenwoth on the padres used it

Bro tried saying thumb pro is to stop the sting 😭 what it does is keep the bat in your fingertips where it should be

Crazy how this is from plate crate's tiktok
