BASEBALL PANTS

When baseball began over 100 years ago, baseball pants were so long and baggy players would trip over them sliding into first base! Luckily, baseball pants have changed with the times. Those long, baggy pants were soon raised to the knee and worn with socks and stirrups. Later on, pant legs were lowered and tightened. Many players today wear their pants with their socks showing, while others will wear them long enough to cover their cleats. Baseball pants are available from knee length to heel length, but the choice is purely based on personal preference.

In the beginning, baseball pants were made of wool. One can only imagine how warm those players got on a hot summer's day. Today, baseball pants are made with either a cotton\polyester blend or 100% polyester. The 100% polyester pants will be more durable, but the lighter weight poly\cotton pants will be cooler during those hot summer games. Another thing to keep in mind when making your choice of baseball pants is that grey pants will be much easier to clean than white pants, and they won't show off as much dirt. Baseball pants can rip easily, especially on the upper thigh when you slide into base, so you should look for baseball pants that feature a little more padding on the thighs.

One of the most important features of baseball pants is how they fit. Some players will choose tight baseball pants, while others choose very loose pants. Again, it's a matter of personal preference, but make sure your pants are comfortable and don't restrict your movement when running or stretching. We carry a full line of baseball pants in both adult and youth sizes. Some of these pants feature contrast-color piping that's sewn in the side seams, and some have double knees for durability.
