In the worlds of baseball and fastpitch softball, the catcher has one of the most important and dangerous positions. It is critical to protect the catcher, with the proper equipment, and to ensure the equipment fits properly. Purchasing the most expensive equipment is not necessary. Fit and integrity is more important. We are often approached by parents and players with a wide range of questions about catcher's equipment. The Almega Sports Team has put together a few tips to get you started.
There are 3 critical elements to catcher's equipment:
- Helmet - Must fit snugly but sill allow the catcher to remove it quickly to field the ball.
- Chest Protector - The fit should be snug but also allow free movement of the catcher.
- Leg Guards - The fit should allow the catcher free mobility while still remaining in place.
Optional equipment:
- Throat Guard - Protects the catchers windpipe from random balls.
- Knee Savers - Takes the strain off the knee ligaments.
- Custom Gear Bag - Catcher's gear will not typically fit into traditional bat bags.
