Why Our Batting Gloves are Right for Your Team
Coaches and players know that a secure grip and comfortable hands are essential for a powerful, consistent swing. Hitting hundreds of balls in the batting cage can quickly lead to painful blisters, and cold-weather games often result in stinging hands when using aluminum or composite bats. Standard, cheap athletic gloves often lack the necessary padding or tear at the seams after just a few practices. Our 2026 collection features high-value Ribbed Batting Gloves that prioritize durability, shock absorption, and a locked-in grip, ensuring your players stay comfortable and focused on driving the ball.
Top-Tier Features for the Batter's Box
We stock specifically chosen batting accessories to ensure your hitters have the reliable tools necessary to perform at their peak.
- Ribbed Leather Palms: The defining feature of our batting gloves is the ribbed, padded leather palm. This design serves a dual purpose: it offers an exceptionally sure grip on the bat handle (even in sweaty or damp conditions) and actively absorbs the harsh impact and sting of mis-hit balls.
- Spandex Finger Gussets: Don't confuse inexpensive with cheap. To ensure maximum flexibility and bat control, these gloves feature spandex finger gussets. This allows the glove to stretch and move naturally with the batter's hands, eliminating the stiff, restrictive feel found in lower-quality gloves.
- Customized Fit and Colors: A loose glove can cause the bat to slip, while a tight glove restricts movement. Our gloves feature a secure, adjustable Velcro® closure at the wrist for a locked-in fit. They are available in a massive range of sizes (Youth Small through Adult X-Large) and classic team colors (Black, Royal Blue, and Red) to match your uniform.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why should a player wear batting gloves?
Batting gloves provide three main benefits: they enhance your grip on the bat (especially in hot, sweaty weather), they prevent painful friction blisters during high-volume batting practice, and they provide a layer of shock absorption to reduce the "sting" of a mis-hit ball off an alloy or composite bat.
2. What is the benefit of a "ribbed" palm?
The ribbed, padded leather palm on our gloves provides extra texture. This textured surface locks into the bat tape or pine tar, preventing the bat from twisting in the player's hands during the swing. The ribbed padding also acts as a superior shock absorber compared to a thin, flat leather palm.
3. How do I know what size to order?
Our Ribbed Batting Gloves are available in a comprehensive sizing run to fit athletes of all ages. We offer both Youth sizes (Small, Medium, Large, X-Large) and Adult sizes (Small, Medium, Large, X-Large).
4. Are these gloves sold individually or together?
Our batting gloves are sold as a complete pair (one for the left hand and one for the right hand), providing full protection and grip for your swing.
5. Can these gloves be used for both baseball and softball?
Yes. The mechanics of gripping the bat are the same for both sports. These gloves are highly effective for baseball, fastpitch softball, and slowpitch softball players.
6. Do you accept school purchase orders for batting gloves?
Absolutely. Morley Athletic has worked directly with schools and universities for over nine decades. We happily accept school purchase orders. Athletic directors and head coaches can easily submit a formal PO to purchase dozens of pairs of batting gloves to supply their entire roster or physical education classes.
