For the purposes of this article, we'll keep it simple and run down the basic baseball batting gear that any baseball player will require.

Whether you're on a baseball team, or just playing in the backyard, here are the essential pieces of gear that are a must-have for the player. PS: You can also check baseball bat deals around.

Baseball Glove
One of the first things you'll need while playing baseball is the baseball glove. There are a variety of baseball gloves. And they come in a wide variety of materials, sizes, and colors. Remember: The rule of thumb when looking for a glove for yourself is to try out a few ones!

Baseball Bat
You can't play baseball without a bat! When looking for one- there are many different kinds of bats and, like gloves models for youth and adults. Youth bats have smaller barrels while adult bats have bigger barrels. It's easier to hit the ball with a bigger barrel, so it’d be wise to get a bat that's as big as you can handle.

Baseballs
To play baseball- you will always need balls! Most baseballs are made of a rubberized core, wrapped with yarn (very densely), and covered with full-grain leather. There are differences to this with some balls, and some balls are covered with plastic to make them suit several types of weather conditions.

Batting Helmet
If you're going to be a part of the game, or will be stepping in to try to hit live pitching, you'll need a helmet. Helmets are made of strong plastic material and have padding on the inside to keep you covered.

Baseball Cleats
You've got to wear cleats if you're going to be running on the ground while playing baseball. Mostly, youth players wear cleats made of rubber, which don't grip the ground as well but are safer. Once players are in middle school and beyond, they wear metal cleats which provide much better traction.

Batting Gloves
You'll need some batting gloves if you're going to be spending a lot of time swinging the bat here and there.
