Baseball Catchers Gear

(2 products)

Complete catcher's gear sets, helmet, chest protector and leg guards in one box, for baseball. The All Star S7 Axis sets are the ones most travel and high school catchers wear, sized for ages 9 to 12 and 12 to 16; the Rawlings Velo 2.0 and Easton Gametime sets are the value picks for youth and rec catchers; the Mizuno Samurai is the adult set.

Every set here meets NOCSAE standards, which high school and most youth leagues require. Prices run about $190 to $400. Add a mitt from baseball catcher's mitts and a bag from catcher's bags. Fastpitch catchers, see fastpitch catcher's gear.

Baseball Catchers Gear

Sizing a gear set: sets are sold by age range (youth 9 to 12, intermediate 12 to 16, adult), and the chest protector length is what matters. Measure from the base of the neck to the belly button: about 14" to 15" for youth, 15.5" to 16.5" for intermediate, 17" and up for adult. Leg guards should cover from the top of the kneecap to the top of the shoe with the knee cup centered when squatting.

What the S7 Axis gets you: All Star's pro-level padding and a helmet with better sightlines and ventilation, for roughly $100 more than the Velo or Gametime set. For a first-year catcher, the Rawlings or Easton set is fine; for a catcher who is behind the plate every game, the All Star set holds up longer.
