At first I thought sliding mitts were stupid until I got cleated and broke a small bone in my hand so after that I had to buy a sliding mitt and it had worked perfectly
You have a very firm grasp of the obvious. Players also use sliding mitts as an extension of their hand so they’re closer to the base when they steal 😂🤦♂️
Sliding mits are to protect your hand from getting stepped on when sliding. However I don’t understand evoshields design bc the exposed thumb defeats the purpose. The face mask is not usually for baseball but for softball. Pitchers are required to wear them
Off topic but I was a catcher and basically there’s this one tall batter like really tall and he was standing very far back in the box and he ended up swinging and he ended up hitting his bat against my arm, and I had to go with the rest of the inning just stopping the ball because I couldn’t close my hand . Watch out all the catchers out there
1 sliding mitt : is actually useful depending on what U your playing 2 face guard : are for (softball) players and they are required 3 thumb grip pro : they are used by most mlb players
The point of it is if you don't want to injure or break your fingers while sliding I actually hurt my finger really bad because of not having one stop being stupid they are not worthless.
In my league it's a rule that you need to wear an infielding mask. I do play softball so it would hurt a lot more to get hit in the face by the ball, to be fair.
Some people are forced to wear the facemask I can softball sliding mitts or for pro baseball players and stuff that actually like only real baseball players understand the assignment but those keep your hands protected for if you get stepped down or something so you don’t hurt yourself and who doesn’t look a thumb or a pro header like those are good to help you rolling over so shut your mouth
All you sliding mitt lovers- hold your feelings together. This is nothing but swag, that a company paid a lot of money to pro players to use it, so kids see them and want one. That’s it. It was nothing but a money grab, with an excellent marketing strategy, that kids thought were “cool because the MLB players use the.” They’ve only been around for like 2-3 years, you guys were just fine without them.
The only one that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense is the mask but the sliding mitt is so when the shortstop steps on you with his metal spikes it doesn’t break your fingers, and then a lot of mlb players are actually starting to use that thing that goes on your bat because if you hit the ball in the wrong spot on the bat with a ball coming 100 mph it’s gonna hurt like crazy
First of all the first one is a sliding mit that prevents scratches on your hand when you slide so you don’t have to ruin your batting gloves while sliding.
The THUMB PRO is a better version of the pro hitter used in MLB. Allows wrist to strap through the ball while preventing a death grip. Better b/c it doesn’t move around in the hand. That said, the little piece of silicone is crazy expensive to buy and lose.
Dude the sliding mitts r to protect your fingers. My friend slid and shortstop stepped on it and broke two fingers and got rushed to the hospital those r important and they can make you quit baseball which would suck.
Sliding mitt is not worthless it in fact saved my finger when sliding into home plate when catcher stepped on my hand it could’ve been really bad he was wearing spiked cleats
That mitt would’ve saved my homeboys hand last week 😂. After that I went and bought one fuck that lol. His whole hand was fucked up from sliding into a cleat, he broke 3 fingers.
Real men get hit in the face with baseballs! In fact, why even use batting helmets? Babe ruth didnt use a batting helmet. Real men get hit with pitches in the head!
Face mask is for softball btw a lot of girls wear it cause they sure as hell got pretty faces…and Isn’t that last one to help you prevent from rolling? It’s a training equipment not to prevent a sting
I used a thumb ring back in 2013, because i had a hairline fracture the year before. I remember thinking it was the best-known invention to help me not "babby" my thumb when i hit. Im glad it caught on.
I coach little league and the oven mitt drives me insane. Head first slides aren’t even allowed in little league!! You show up with this I’m going to tell you to go bake some cookies and stop watching CZcams.
I wear a face mask because I got a black eye. I’m not afraid of the ball at all but I would rather wear a mask then have to get reconstructive jaw surgery
Only real baseball players understand sliding mitts
(If your a real baseball player)

I broke my finger cause I didn’t have a sliding mitt when I slide in head first at second
@@mlbhighlights7832 that sucks
@@UnrealProds24yeah. People will think sliding mits are stupid and useless until they break their hand or finger without one
if you get stepped on in metal cleats? is it kade of kevlar or something?
Whoever this is clearly played soccer growing up
Fr though this guy has no drip and is an old brokey
Or swimming
Possibly golf?

And so if ur hand gets stepped on when diving back from a pick off it doesn't break ur hand cuz cleats

I’ve Injured my hand multiple times sliding into bases before I got a sliding mitt, haven’t hurt my hand since
Softball players looking at the face mask: "ah yes the requirement to pitch"
its useless to use the mask
@@LazerXr in softball it's required for most leagues if you want to pitch, for safety. Some don't like it, but for most leagues it's the requirement.
ik but there's no use baseball players don't use it and we pitch way harder thus the ball comes off the bat way harder@@itisi567
@@itisi567Yeah, I didn’t want to wear the face mask when I was pitching and I almost got ejected for a “safety” violation thing

and as looks but i dont mean to be a jerk when i say that
I just slide using my feet
I use the thumb guard and it helps me have palms up to not hit grounders and it helps not ring me up
im glad!
he probably got cut off the jv team in 11th grade 😂
No babe Ruth didn't use a thum gard but almost all big leagues do and a sliding mitt is so you don't jam your fingers in the base or get cleated
Babe Ruth didn’t wear a helmet either
Babe Ruth also wasnt hitting 99mph
Sliding mitts are very important
The thumb guard is used by some of the best mlb players including acuna
Him:“Do you think that Babe Ruth used that”
Me: “Do you think that Babe Ruth faced a Dominican or Japanese pitcher throwing gas.”

sliding mitts just make sense
sliding mitt is so you dnt get cleated ? lol
Only true baseball fans know how to use a sliding mitt

Tell me you don't play baseball, without telling me you don't play baseball.
Sliding mits look goofy but have a very important purpose they keep your hand from being stomped on and putting you out for the rest of the season
Softball girls: fielding masks are required. Pitching mainly, but my entire team is required it.
Off topic but I was a catcher and basically there’s this one tall batter like really tall and he was standing very far back in the box and he ended up swinging and he ended up hitting his bat against my arm, and I had to go with the rest of the inning just stopping the ball because I couldn’t close my hand .

the pro hitter is actually amazing it doesn’t just stop your bat from stinging your hands in keeps the bat in your fingers the way it should be
1 sliding mitt : is actually useful depending on what U your playing
2 face guard : are for (softball) players and they are required
3 thumb grip pro : they are used by most mlb players
The point of it is if you don't want to injure or break your fingers while sliding I actually hurt my finger really bad because of not having one stop being stupid they are not worthless.
1 for sliding so u don’t break a finger 2 for softball dummy 3 it is smaller than it looks and it is so that ur hands don’t sting
Only people who like the sport know how important this stuff is
this guy has no idea wut sliding mitts are

Can we all agree this kid knows nothing about baseball
That "binkie" is a thumb guard for catchers so u don't get ur thumb ripped off it u take it low in ur glove
Wrong. Its for batting.
All that baseball equipment protects you. He couldn’t even name the equipment
The sliding mitt makes sure you don't get your hands stepped on with a cleats
Sliding mitts aren’t even until you use metal cleats

The basement is actually for we can reach to the base without our hands, touching the base
You won’t get the last one if you don’t play baseball 🤷♂️
Facemask is an advantage. You can miss the ball in your face and still make the play.
Big leaguers use the thumb thing
yeah they do don't they?
@@PlateCrateAcuña Jr does he also wear a sliding mit
The thumb pro is so you have a better grip on the bat. It pushes the bat more into your fingers giving it more whip
Sliding mitt is not worthless it in fact saved my finger when sliding into home plate when catcher stepped on my hand it could’ve been really bad he was wearing spiked cleats
Ronald acuña jr has left the chat
bros acting tuff like he wouldn’t have wanted these things when he played
2nd one is if someone got a concussion
Sliced my finger open without a sliding mitt and got one right after the game and haven’t hurt my hand since
sliding mitts are fire idc what no one says
That mitt would’ve saved my homeboys hand last week 😂. After that I went and bought one fuck that lol. His whole hand was fucked up from sliding into a cleat, he broke 3 fingers.
But the first one is a sliding mitt and it’s for if you slide head first if somebody stomps on it it doesn’t hurt
Babe Ruth wasn't living at a time where 3rd graders could throw 100mph fastballs
3rd graders dont throw 100 mph
@@hawk12983it's a joke
If mlb players wear them I think they have good reason to be used
The first one is to prevent either breaking ur fingers if you dive or if someone steps on ur hand when you dive
Real men get hit in the face with baseballs! In fact, why even use batting helmets? Babe ruth didnt use a batting helmet. Real men get hit with pitches in the head!
The only reason sliding mits are good is they protect from cleats
I understand all of it also, the thumguard aka “binky” reduces the sting from hitting the ball.
This man grew up playing soccer
It helps you not break your fingers when you slide head first
I play in the pro league in PR and everyone had that thumb guard… tbh it works like a dream
Sliding mits. When you dont want dirt on your hands when sliding 💅
Audacity to be wearing the Dodgers hat at the same time
Yeah babe Ruth also only hit off pitchers throwing like 85 max 💀
Face mask is for softball btw a lot of girls wear it cause they sure as hell got pretty faces…and Isn’t that last one to help you prevent from rolling? It’s a training equipment not to prevent a sting
Pleas don't end up like him
The first one is to protect your fingers
This guy definitely didn’t make the team
The thumb guard is when your catching
I wanna get a plate crate so bad but my mom won’t let me she said it’s to expensive
SAME!
I worked for mine, my dad had a company so I worked either him and got 30 dollars so ez money
i got cleated on my finger stealing second needed stitches and was out the season, sliding mitt is definitely necessary
As a catcher the thumb pro does help.
You think Babe Ruth ever met a black person?
Him: "do you think babe ruth use a thumb pro"
Me: do you think Babe ruth hit 100 mph with modern-day wood bats
Sliding mitts are too protect the hand and give you farther reach, softball players are forced to wear face masks
I don't want to here him talking when he likes the dodgers
I used a thumb ring back in 2013, because i had a hairline fracture the year before. I remember thinking it was the best-known invention to help me not "babby" my thumb when i hit. Im glad it caught on.
I think have a sliding mitt just make sure it ain’t yellow
totally disagree with sliding mitt and thumb thingy
They have no clue what they are talking about 😂
Do you think Babe Ruth ever hit off a Dominican throwing 101
Bro tried saying thumb pro is to stop the sting 😭 what it does is keep the bat in your fingertips where it should be
Bro obviously doesn’t play baseball literally everything in this is nice to have and useful and the face mask is for softball not baseball 🙄
The 2nd 1 is for softball players

I agree just not for the sliding mitt
9 people on my team broke their fingers bc of no sliding mit if you know the purpose of a sliding mit

Bro does not know what a sliding mitt is
Someone had to retire cause they got cleated sliding mits aren’t for drip they’re for safety
That is for living and protecting your hand
Tell me you don’t play baseball without telling me you don’t play baseball.
the sliding mitt also helps when the 2nd base guy lands steps on your hand after jumping for the ball. but i still dont have one
Crazy how this is from plate crate's tiktok
The thump pro is to not roll over
are we baking cookies is crazy bro prob doesnt know a thing about baseball if he’s saying that about the sliding mitt
