The durable, reinforced wide-knee design gives your player better fit and more stability when moving in and out of the catcher's squat, while the vented shell with an EVAIR breathable EVA foam liner keeps their legs cool and comfortable through every inning of every game. Available at SPC Sports in four colorways -- black, red, navy, and royal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe reinforced wide-knee design provides better fit and more stability when moving in and out of the catcher's squat, and gives your player a larger blocking surface in the ready position so they cover more area on every ball that comes their way in the dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe reinforced triple-knee system adds an extra layer of durability and protection at the most vulnerable contact point on the lower leg, so your player's knees stay covered and secure through blocked balls, foul tips, and long crouching sessions behind the plate all game long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eStitched knee padding adds a layer of comfort directly at the knee contact point, so the guards feel more natural and comfortable during extended catching sessions without the stiffness or pressure that harder plastic-only knee designs can create.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe vented shell design features strategically placed ventilation throughout the guard to increase airflow, while the EVAIR breathable EVA foam liner promotes heat dissipation inside the guard so your player's legs stay cooler and more comfortable through long games and hot summer tournament days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA toe extension hangs down across the foot to protect against errant pitches and foul balls that roll toward the foot during blocking attempts, giving your developing catcher complete lower-body coverage from knee to toe in an intermediate-sized guard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 15.5-inch intermediate length covers your player's leg from knee to ankle in the right amount for catchers ages 12 to 15, giving developing travel ball and middle school players complete lower-body coverage in a guard that fits the way serious catching gear should fit at this level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis product comes with a 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFor more intermediate baseball catcher's leg guards, browse the full \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/spcsports.com\/collections\/spc-sports-baseball-catchers-gear\"\u003ebaseball catcher's gear collection at SPC Sports\u003c\/a\u003e.

The wider knee plate provides a larger blocking surface and better stability moving in and out of the squat, so your player covers more area on balls in the dirt and transitions faster without the guards restricting their movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHow does the Gametime differ from the Elite X leg guards? Both feature wide-set knee designs and vented shells, but the Elite X adds removable inner knee and shin pads for a more customizable fit, while the Gametime delivers solid everyday protection with stitched knee padding at a more accessible price point.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Easton","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":44204450447402,"sku":"8064978","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":44204449792042,"sku":"8064980","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy","offer_id":44204449824810,"sku":"8064979","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Royal","offer_id":44204449857578,"sku":"8064981","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/4000\/6186\/files\/xoknutprtnk1nwq4bncj.jpg?v=1774734714","url":"https:\/\/spcsports.com\/products\/easton-gametime-intermediate-leg-guards-gmetmelgi","provider":"SPC Sports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
