Baseball Catchers Gear

Regulations

As of January of 2020, all high school (NFHS) and college (NCAA) baseball players are required to wear a NOCSAE (National Operation Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment) certified chest protector. These specific regulations are designed to reduce the risk of commotio cordis, which is a deadly disruption of heart rhythm that occurs when a baseball hits someone’s chest with enough force.

Eastbay carries the latest brands and models that have certified chest protectors for the upcoming season. You can find certified chest protectors by looking for a NOCSAE Baseball Standard patch.

Picking Out Your Gear

Eastbay has catcher’s gear from baseball’s most trusted brands like Easton, Under Armour, All Star, and Rawlings. You can choose to buy your gear as a kit or separately purchase helmets, chest protectors, and leg guards.
