Find the Right Catcher's Gear for Every Position Behind the Plate
Catchers carry the game. Every pitch, every block, every throw to second starts with the player behind the plate. Sports Unlimited carries the highest-quality baseball catcher's gear for youth players, high school athletes, and competitive adults. You'll find trusted brands like Rawlings, Easton, All-Star, and Nike built for protection, mobility, and all-game comfort. Whether you need a complete gear set or individual pieces like a chest protector, helmet, or leg guards, Sports Unlimited has options in every size to keep catchers protected and confident from the first pitch to the final out.
Catcher's Gear for Every Player
A catcher's gear set gives you everything you need to get behind the plate in one package. Sports Unlimited carries catcher's gear sets that include a helmet or mask, chest protector, and leg guards sized for youth, high school, and adult players.
Catcher's Sets: These sets take the guesswork out of matching pieces and ensure consistent fit and protection across your entire setup. Many sets meet NOCSAE safety standards required for high school and travel ball leagues, so players can step onto the field with gear that's approved and game-ready.
Individual Pieces: If you already have part of your setup, you can also shop chest protectors, leg guards, and helmets separately to replace worn gear or upgrade specific components without buying a full set.
Catcher's Helmets, Masks, and Chest Protectors
Protection starts at the top. A well-fitted catcher's helmet or mask shields the face and head from foul tips, wild pitches, and backswings while allowing clear sightlines to track every pitch.
Hockey-Style Helmets: Full coverage with integrated throat protection and a secure, wraparound fit. These helmets stay in place during plays at the plate and offer maximum protection for catchers at every level.
Traditional Masks: Lightweight feel with easy removal for tracking pop-ups. Many catchers prefer the classic mask for its breathability and quick on-and-off design.
Chest Protectors: A quality chest protector absorbs high-velocity impacts and keeps catchers safe on inside pitches and foul balls. Modern chest protectors feature layered foam padding, adjustable straps for a secure fit, and breathable materials that keep catchers cool through extra innings.
Leg Guards and Catcher's Accessories
Leg guards protect the knees, shins, and ankles from wild pitches and foul balls while allowing catchers to move quickly on plays at the plate.
Leg Guards: Look for guards with reinforced knee caps, secure strap systems, and flexible joints that don't restrict movement when blocking or throwing. Proper fit keeps guards in place without sliding during quick movements.
Accessories: Sports Unlimited carries the accessories that complete your setup, including throat guards, knee savers, and replacement hardware. These extras add comfort and protection for catchers who spend long games in the crouch.
Equipment Bags: A quality equipment bag keeps all your catcher's gear organized and protected between games. Look for bags with ventilated compartments and dedicated pockets for helmets, leg guards, and chest protectors.
Youth and Adult Baseball Catcher's Equipment
Sports Unlimited offers catcher's equipment sized for every age and skill level. Choosing the right size helps players stay protected without sacrificing mobility or comfort in the crouch.
Youth Catcher's Gear: Sized for younger players in Little League and travel ball. Youth gear features lighter materials and scaled-down dimensions that fit smaller frames while still providing full protection. These sets help young catchers learn proper technique without fighting bulky equipment.
Adult Catcher's Gear: Full-size options for high school, college, and competitive players. Adult equipment features pro-level padding, reinforced construction, and advanced fit systems built to handle faster pitches and longer seasons. Many adult options meet NOCSAE certification requirements for sanctioned play.
