Find Your Perfect Fit – How to Choose the Right Batting Gloves

1. Get the Right Fit – Snug, Not Tight

The most important factor is fit. A properly fitted glove should feel like a second skin — no extra space in the fingers, no loose palm, and no pinching at the wrist.

How to test it:

• Close your hand into a fist — the glove should flex easily without stretching or folding.

• Make sure the fingertips don’t press against the ends — this causes premature wear.

• Adjustable wrist straps (like on our Extra Innings Series) help fine-tune the fit during play.

2. Pick the Right Palm Material

You generally have two options:

• Sheepskin Leather – Soft, durable, and tacky. This is the gold standard for grip and feel.

• Synthetic – Lightweight and breathable but less durable.

Hot Hitter gloves use premium sheepskin leather to combine long-lasting performance with comfort, even during long summer games.

3. Decide on Padding Level

• Minimalist Gloves – Preferred by players who want a better feel of the bat and precise feedback.

• Padded Gloves – Great for cold weather or players who are sensitive to sting on mis-hits.

Some Hot Hitter gloves includes palm reinforcements in pressure zones for a balance of protection and feel.

4. Consider Breathability and Moisture Control

Look for mesh inserts, perforated leather, or moisture-wicking liners. Sweaty palms reduce grip and lead to blisters.

We’ve built our gloves with breathable mesh panels and sweat-resistant liners to help your hands stay dry inning after inning.

5. Choose a Style That Matches Your Game

From bold two-tone designs to classic all-black, gloves express your personality. Choose one that looks good — but also lasts.
