Champro Optimus MVP Single Knee Leg Guard CG112  

The Champro Optimus MVP Single Knee Junior Leg Guard (CG112) is a 12-inch T-Ball and junior catcher's leg guard built for the youngest players at every level of baseball and softball who want targeted lower leg coverage with a lighter, more streamlined profile than a double-knee design -- delivering the high-performance PE shin plate protection and cantilever lining system of the Optimus MVP line in the smallest available size without the additional bulk and weight of a second knee cap layer. The high-performance PE shin plate improves flexibility and durability without added weight, vent holes keep airflow moving through the guard during play, and the cantilever lining system minimizes the impact transferred to the shin on every ball contact. Sold in black at SPC Sports.

The high-performance polyethylene shin plate delivers superior flexibility compared to rigid plastic shell designs so the guard follows the natural movement of the lower leg through every crouch, block, and developing catching movement without restricting the mobility that the youngest players need to learn proper catching technique -- while the material's inherent durability resists cracking and breaking down under youth practice and game use across a full season.

The single knee cap design gives the youngest catchers the targeted knee coverage needed for crouching and blocking while keeping the overall profile of the guard lighter and less layered than the double-knee CG111 -- making it the preferred choice for T-Ball and junior coaches who prioritize comfort, ease of movement, and a less intimidating gear experience for players stepping behind the plate for the very first time.

The cantilever lining system minimizes impact transference to the shin by suspending the hard PE shell slightly away from the leg on the impact side, creating a buffer layer that absorbs and disperses ball contact forces before they reach the shin -- protecting the youngest catchers from the sting and bruising of direct shin contact that can make early catching experiences uncomfortable and discouraging for players at the T-Ball and junior level.

Vent holes in the shin plate allow airflow to circulate through the guard during active play, releasing heat from the contact surface between the guard and the lower leg so the youngest catchers stay cooler and more comfortable through game days and practice sessions without the heat buildup that solid-shell designs retain against small young legs.

The 12-inch junior shin length is the smallest size in the Optimus MVP Single Knee lineup, providing the appropriate coverage from knee to ankle for T-Ball and junior catchers whose legs are too short for standard 13.5-inch youth sizing -- giving the youngest players a properly fitted leg guard that sits in the correct anatomical position without gaps or misalignment during their first seasons developing behind the plate.

At just 1.47 lbs the CG112 is the lightest leg guard in the Optimus MVP lineup across both single and double knee designs, specifically weighted for the smallest frames in T-Ball and junior programs so the guards never feel heavy, cumbersome, or fatiguing on the youngest players' legs -- keeping them comfortable, mobile, and engaged with the catching position from their very first game behind the dish.

FAQ

What age and size is the CG112 designed for? The CG112 is the 12-inch junior size -- the smallest in the Optimus MVP Single Knee lineup -- designed for T-Ball and junior catchers whose legs are too short for standard 13.5-inch youth sizing, making it the right choice for the youngest players in organized baseball and softball programs stepping behind the plate for the very first time.

How does the CG112 single knee differ from the CG111 double knee at the same junior size? Both are 12-inch junior leg guards with the same high-performance PE shin plate, cantilever lining system, and vent holes. The CG112 features a single knee cap for a lighter, more streamlined profile at 1.47 lbs, while the CG111 has a double knee cap for maximum knee protection at 1.78 lbs per pair. Choose single knee for a lighter, less intimidating first gear experience and double knee for additional knee cushioning and impact distribution.

What is the cantilever lining system? The cantilever lining system suspends the hard PE shin plate slightly away from the leg on the impact side, creating a buffer layer that absorbs and disperses ball contact forces before they reach the shin -- protecting young catchers from the sting and bruising of direct shin contact during the earliest stages of learning the catching position.
