Playing baseball is all about the basics. When you have the right gear, you will be set up for success in the game. A baseball glove that fits (“like a glove,” obviously) and a bat that is a good weight for the hitter are great places to start. You might find yourself needing more gear if you are a catcher or want a proper batter’s helmet. Cleats, a protective cup, and a baseball hat are all part of the final uniform, plus a good pair of batting gloves always come in handy for comfort.
