Welcome to Homerun Catchers Gear, a site dedicated to helping you find the best catchers gear for your next game! The position of catcher is one of the most interesting in not only baseball but in any other sport found in the world. Although often compared to a hockey goalie, the catcher has many more responsibilities or duties than any position played in other sports.

The catchers primary role is obviously to catch the ball thrown by the pitcher. But the amount of micro-managing that a catcher performs game in game out far exceeds the responsibilities of other positions. Some of the best catchers that play often assist managers with player positioning on the field, and always remain focused on what opposing runners are doing on the base paths. It’s always a joy to watch the pros and how well they handle everything at once.

What to look for when buying Catchers Gear

With all that catchers do day in day out, they also have to deal with the elements. Imagine hot sunny weather with that much extra equipment being worn! Unfortunately catchers have to deal with these sorts of elements all the time. Thankfully in today’s game countless innovations have been made in the catchers gear area. Some of the equipment even includes ventilation ports allowing the cool air to come in the hot air to go out.

As a former catcher myself, I know how tough it can be to find the right equipment to wear. Ideally, you want to find equipment that is comfortable, and made with material that will protect you at all times. However, you also want equipment that is light in weight especially in those grueling hot days in the summer heat. One of the most under appreciated aspects of the catcher is his ability to keep at the top of his game despite being covered in much more equipment than his fellow players. Make sure to treat yourself to proper fitting equipment so that made from the top brands for your next game!

We hope you find exactly what you are looking for. Should you need any additional information of are looking for a specific piece of equipment, please don’t hesitate to Contact Us.

How to Size Catchers Gear

Leg Guards – To measure the size of leg guards you will need, take a piece of measuring tape and measure from the middle of you knee to the top of your ankle. Match the resulting length (in inches) to the nearest model available from the purchasing location. For instance, some retail locations size by single unit increments (i.e 12, 13, 14) whereas others use half inch increments (13.5, 14, 14.5, etc).
Chest Protector – To measure the chest protector length, take a piece of measuring tape and measure from the bottom of your throat to your belly button area. Match the resulting length (in inches) to the nearest model available from the purchasing location.
Head Gear – To measure the size of head gear, either take a piece of measuring tape and measure the circumference of your head just above your ears, or take the size obtained from a fitted baseball cap. Match the resulting length (in inches) to the nearest model available from the purchasing location. Since head gear comes in many different shapes and styles, the measurement may differ between goalie style masks and regular catchers head gear.
