What is a "batting glove"?
A batting glove is worn by players while batting in sports like baseball or softball. It is typically made of leather or synthetic materials and fits comfortably around the hands. The glove helps provide grip on the bat, reduces vibration when the bat makes contact with the ball, and protects the hands from blisters or calluses. It often has a flexible design, allowing for ease of movement while holding the bat. Batting gloves are worn on one or both hands, depending on the player's preference.
Examples
Every hitter in the lineup has a preferred brand and style of batting gloves.
