Gloves
When properly adjusted, a glove should fit fairly
snugly. Allow room for a batting glove. It is a good idea
for most players to wear a batting glove inside their
fielders glove to absorb moisture.

Bats
|
Below is a rough guide for bat selection. It is simply a
place to start and depends not only on the size of the
player but the level of competition (better pitching may
require a lighter bat). It is better to err on the light
side rather than the heavy side. Today's power hitters
in the major leagues use lighter bats than power hitters
of yesterday.
