Baseball Drip: Gear & Accessories for Youth & Adults

Youth Baseball Drip for Kids and Teens 

Ask any young player what they want for their birthday and gear comes before anything else. Youth baseball drip covers batting gloves, sliding mitts and elbow guards, sized down so nothing hangs loose on a swing or a slide. Most parents start with gloves and a mitt for a first travel ball season, then add elbow guards once their kid moves up a level and the pitching gets quicker. 

Baseball Drip Accessories from $19 

Good drip does not have to cost a lot. The GameFace eye black set is $19, Vibe Series sunglasses are $29, and batting gloves top out at $59, so most players can put together two or three pieces without a big spend. Everything here is built to last a full season, not a few weeks of practice. 

Best Baseball Drip in Matching Colorways 

Colorways carry across the line, so a Vice Vice Baby batting glove has a sliding mitt and sunglasses to match. Cotton Candy, Black Ice, Mint Condition, Pink Lemonade, Limelight, South Beach Smoke. Pick one and run it head to toe, or mix two and let the pink and blue clash on purpose. Either way nobody on the field is wearing the same thing. 

FAQ

What is baseball drip? 

Drip is just how players talk about looking good on the field. Bright colorways, gear that matches, a look that stands out from a team in plain black. It started as slang and stuck, and now it covers everything from batting gloves to eye black.

What should I buy first?

Start with batting gloves. You wear them every at bat and they take the most abuse, so they earn their money faster than anything else. Eye black at $19 is the cheapest way to add a colorway if you want to test one before committing.

Does this gear work for softball too? 

All of it. Fastpitch players wear the same gloves, mitts and guards, and the sunglasses cut the same glare off a turf field. The colorways were never split by sport.

Is this a good gift for a young player? 

Hard to go wrong. Kids notice gear before they notice much else, and the eye black set or a pair of sunglasses lands well without much spend. If you know the team colors, matching the colorway usually gets a better reaction than picking a favorite shade.

How do I keep the colors looking new?

Wipe the leather down after games rather than letting dirt sit in it, and let everything air dry instead of throwing it in a bag wet. Skip the washing machine. Sunglasses and eye black just need a clean cloth.
