A rounded, solid wooden or hollow aluminum bat. Wooden bats are traditionally made from ash wood, though maple is also sometimes used. Aluminum bats are not permitted in professional leagues, but are frequently used in amateur leagues.
One of four corners of the infield which must be touched by a runner in order to score a run; more specifically, they are canvas bags (at first, second, and third base) and a rubber plate (at home).
Leather glove worn by players in the field. Long fingers and a webbed "pocket" between the thumb and first finger allow the fielder to catch the ball more easily.
Leather mitt worn by catchers. It is much wider than a normal fielder's glove and the four fingers are connected. The mitt is also better-padded than the standard fielder's glove.
Leather mitt worn by first basemen. It is longer and wider than a standard fielder's glove. The four fingers are connected and the glove is rounded like a catcher's mitt. A first baseman's mitt has a bit more padding than a standard fielder's glove
Batting glove
Glove often worn on one or both hands by the batter. They offer additional grip and eliminate some of the shock when making contact with the ball.
Hat worn by all players. Designed to shade the eyes from the sun, this hat design has become popular with the general public. When at bat, players usually put their batting helmet right over their soft hat.
Catcher's helmet
Protective helmet with face guard worn by the catcher.
Uniform
Shirt and pants worn by all players. Each team generally has a unique pattern of colors and designs. Traditionally, the home team's uniform is predominantly white with the team's nickname, and the visiting team's is predominantly gray with (usually, but not always) the team's city.
Athletic supporter and cup
A hard plastic shell which protects the genitals from injury. The "cup supporter" (also known as a "jockstrap" or "jock") is a special undergarment designed to hold the cup in place without restricting movement.
Sliding shorts
Padded support shorts sometimes worn to protect the thighs when the player slides into the bases.
Spikes
Baseball shoes have spikes to increase traction on dirt and grass. Different levels of competition may allow different types of spikes. For example, Major League Baseball allows metal spikes to be worn while lower levels of competition (such as Tee-Ball or beginner baseball) may only allow plastic spikes. Baserunners will often use the spikes to their advantage by executing an aggressive slide, feet first towards the fielder, with the goal of "breaking up" a double play. Spikes are also sometimes referred to as cleats.
Baseballgloves for adults: Adult baseballgloves measure between 10.5 inches and 13 inches (infielder gloves tend to be shorter).
Infielder baseballgloves: Infielder baseballgloves are shorter, five-finger gloves (typically 10.5 inches to 11.5 inches) made for second basemen, shortstops, third basemen, and pitchers.
Baseballgloves are made of leather or a synthetic material such as vinyl or plastic.
A baseball cap is a type of soft cap with a long, stiffened and curved peak and it is worn by men, women and children.
In many ways, the baseball cap is a symbol of the late 20th century, as it became popular as the culture of sports increased in popularity, starting (naturally) with baseball.
Another version of the baseball cap, worn often—but not exclusively—by farmers and migrant agricultural workers, is the plastic mesh cap with foam fronts and a farm feed supply company logo or the like printed on the cap.
