Sliding Mitts
Step up your game and slide in style with our collection of swaggy baseball sliding mitts. Designed for ultimate hand protection and unmatched drip, these mitts combine performance with bold designs that make every steal a statement.
A sliding mitt is the most-overlooked piece of baseball gear that every base-stealer wears once they realize their teammates wear one. It's a padded glove for the bottom hand, designed to protect fingers, wrist, and thumb from getting jammed when you slide head-first into a base. We carry 15 designs from Elite Athletic Gear, all in Youth and Adult sizes, all built from durable neoprene with hard-shell impact protection.
