4 Best Holiday Gifts for a Baseball or Softball Player in 2024

Jingle bells, snowmen, Christmas cookies…plus baseball and softball!

Yeah, that probably read weird. But if you have baseball or softball players in your life, then you know the Christmas season is a prime time for stocking up on baseball and softball gear! 

Lucky enough for you, JustGloves has a list of shopping leads to follow this holiday season. And we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by what we have to recommend!

1) JustGloves Glove Care Kit

If you’ve just bought a new glove and didn’t select our Trusted Glove Prep service before checking out, there is no need to fret. You can still purchase our JustGloves Glove Care kit. The kit has everything that you will need to complete a proper glove break in. It includes the following items:

• A glove mallet for softening up the leather
• Conditioner for keeping the leather in top condition
• Sponges for applying conditioner equally
• Rubber bands plus an oversized shaping ball to help form the pocket.

Shop The Glove Care Kit

Be sure to know that you don't need to get a new glove to purchase the Glove Care Kit. Gloves will last multiple seasons. Sometimes your trusted infield glove just needs a little care during the offseason and it’ll be ready to pick softballs or baseballs all across the dirt.

Be sure to watch below to learn how to use a few of the tools from the kit to help break in your glove!

2) A Pro Model Baseball Or Softball Glove

We are stocked to the rafters at JustGloves with the signature gloves of both fastpitch and baseball players.

Meet Keilani Ricketts! She is a former D1 standout at the University of Oklahoma, a former pro player for the USSSA Pride and she’s even competed in the Olympics. And oh yeah, her Rawlings Liberty Advanced looks phenomenal. It can get just about everything done on the fastpitch field with a closed web and 12.5” length. Rock this Rawlings in the pitcher’s circle, on the infield or in the outfield. Smash the image below to get a closer look:

And this next guy needs no introduction. Mookie Betts is a true shining star within the highest ranks of professional baseball. The man appears to be on pace to be a first ballot Hall of Famer when his time comes. And if you want, you can get the same glove that was so coveted by a couple of New York Yankees fans during the 2024 World Series:

3) A Pickleball Paddle

Yes, you read that correctly. Once Christmas and New Years have passed, it will be time to start getting ready for the upcoming softball or baseball season. No matter if you are playing infield, catcher, first base or outfield; you are going to be relied on to have quick reactions. Getting out on the pickleball court will not only help you build and reinforce those quick twitch reactions, but it will also help you condition for some of those long days you’ll be spending at the ball field.

Pickleball, a tennis and racquet style sport, is growing rapidly in popularity with all age groups. No matter if you’re a high schooler looking to stay in shape before spring training or a senior citizen wanting to be active; Pickleball can be the sport for you!

Head over to JustPaddles right now to shop the most popular pickleball paddles out there. If you’re looking for a few of the top brands, we’d recommend checking out the JOOLA, Selkirk and Engage paddles!
