How to Customize Batting Gloves

A good batting glove can make the difference between a good hitter and a bad hitter. The batting glove provides the grip a baseball player needs on the bat and prevents it from slipping. It also can protect a player's hands when he is sliding into a base. You can get a standard batting glove at just about any sports store for between $10 and $35. Many teams and players, though, choose to customize their batting gloves. Many companies provide this option.

      Specify if you want your name or number embroidered or printed on the glove. Again, this varies from company to company, but most companies offer one option or the other.
