Sliding mitts are specialist baserunning equipment worn over the hand. Choose a model by its stated coverage, hand orientation and fit, rather than assuming all mitts offer the same construction or adjustment.
Some models are designed for a specific hand; others may be used on either hand according to their instructions. Confirm the exact variant and measure as directed. A mitt should stay in its intended position without a loose wrist fastening or an unsuitable fit around the hand.
Inspect the outer material, internal components and straps before use. Use replacement parts only where approved for that model, and let the mitt dry after cleaning. A sliding mitt does not make every slide safe or replace technique training. Compare batter's guards for protection intended for the batter's box.
