• The bat is removed from play.
• The player may be called out or ejected.
• Team penalties (e.g., forfeits) may apply.

• Composite bats require 150-200 hits to optimize performance.
• Soft toss or tee work helps evenly break them in.

• Under 12 (USA leagues): Use a USA bat (-10 to -13 drop).
• Travel ball: USSSA bats offer better performance.
• Transition to high school: Move to drop -5 at 13-14U, then BBCOR (-3).

• BBCOR (-3): Required for high school and college; closest to wood bat performance.
• USSSA (1.15 BPF): Higher performance, used in travel baseball.
• USA Bat: Lower performance, used in Little League for safety.

• No, only first basemen can use a first base mitt.
• Pitchers and infielders must use standard fielding gloves.

• For tee-ball, 24”-26” with a -10 to -13 drop.
• For ages 7-12, USA or USSSA bats based on league rules.

Extra lessons, select teams, and training camps are great steppingstones.

Start with tennis balls, then progress to real baseball.

Infielders: 11”-11.5” (baseball), 11.5”-12” (softball). Outfielders: 12” +.

Bat size depends on age, height, and strength. A quick method: have the player stand straight, arms at their sides. The bat knob at the center of their chest should allow them to reach the barrel with an extended arm. A bat that’s too heavy slows swing speed. Look at the drop (length minus weight) – younger players do well with higher drops (-12 or -10), while older players transition to -8, -5, and eventually -3 (BBCOR for high school). Use bat size charts for reference. Our experts can assist in selecting the right bat.

The key difference is leather quality and craftsmanship. Budget gloves use softer, thinner leather or synthetics, breaking in quickly but lasting only a season or two. High-end gloves use premium steerhide or kip leather, taking longer to break in but lasting for years. Mid-range gloves ($100-$150) balance durability and ease of break-in. Serious players benefit from premium gloves, while beginners may prefer a ready-to-use option. Proper care is crucial for longevity.

Use a glove conditioner lightly, play catch, and use a mallet or ball to form the pocket. Store a ball in the pocket with the glove tied shut. Avoid damaging shortcuts like baking, microwaving, or soaking. Some stores offer a steaming service, but additional work is still needed. Our experts can demonstrate proper break-in techniques.

No. USA-certified bats perform like wood, while USSSA bats have more pop (higher trampoline effect). Using an incorrect bat can lead to disqualification. BBCOR (-3) is required for high school and college. When in doubt, check league rules or ask our staff for guidance.

For alloy bats, dents or flat spots indicate the bat’s performance is compromised. Composite bats show fatigue with a dull sound, cracks, or decreased ball exit speed. Wood bats are done when cracked. If a bat is over 2-3 years old and heavily used, new technology may outperform it. Check for warranty options if failure occurs within the first year.

Batting gloves enhance grip, reduce sting, and prevent blisters. Choose a snug fit with leather palms for durability. Higher-end gloves use premium leather for longevity. Consider climate: padded gloves help in cold weather, while thin gloves maximize feel. Let gloves air dry to prevent stiffness and odors.

The transition to a 90-foot diamond requires adjustments. Leagues may require BBCOR (-3) or at least heavier drops (-5). Infielders may need a slightly larger glove, while outfielders often switch to a 12.5”+ model. Many players transition to metal cleats for better traction. Faster pitching may require intermediate or adult-sized catcher’s gear. Consider a C-flap (helmet guard) or elbow guard as pitch velocity increases. Baseball pants may shift to long style for high school teams. Longer throws and field adjustments require patience and technique refinement.

Unlike alloy bats, composite bats require 150-200 solid hits to optimize performance. The break-in period loosens the composite fibers, improving the bat’s trampoline effect. Rotate the bat slightly after each hit to ensure even wear. Avoid using it in cold temperatures (below 60°F) to prevent cracking.

A slight rattle in an alloy or composite bat may just be a piece of glue or end cap material that came loose, not necessarily affecting performance. However, if the bat has a sudden drop in pop or visible cracks, it may need replacing.

Apply glove conditioner sparingly, work the hinges by flexing the glove, and use a ball mallet to pound the pocket. Playing catch regularly also speeds up the break-in process. Avoid excessive water or heat, which can degrade the leather.

Alloy bats develop dents, while composite bats may lose their pop over time. If the bat sounds dull upon impact, has cracks, or shows spider-webbing, it may be worn out. Check for warranty options if it’s within a year of purchase.
