About this product
Baseball Glove – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.
A catcher takes more punishment than anyone else on a baseball or softball field. Every pitch that the batter misses arrives at them; every foul tip comes off the bat at close range and at full speed, deflecting unpredictably. The position exists with protective equipment or it does not exist at all.
That equipment is several separate pieces: a mask or helmet with a face guard, a chest protector, leg guards, and a catcher-s mitt – which is a different thing from a fielder-s glove, being heavily padded and almost closed, built to absorb a pitch rather than to field a ground ball.
We need to be straightforward about this particular listing. It reached us with a title describing a catcher-s glove and a supplier description of a face guard mask. Those are not the same product, and we would rather tell you that than publish a page describing whichever one we guessed at. We have asked the supplier to confirm.
If you are equipping a catcher, contact us. We will tell you exactly what is in stock against this listing, and what else you need to put a player safely behind the plate. The one rule we would give anyone: never let a player catch without a mask, at any level and at any age. A foul tip to an unprotected face is the injury that ends people-s involvement in the sport.
Fit is what makes protective equipment work. A mask that moves when you shake your head, or a chest protector that leaves the collarbone exposed, is protection in name only. Try it on before you rely on it.
Buying a Baseball Glove in Tanzania
361 Degrees Adventure keeps the baseball glove at our showroom in Upanga, Dar es Salaam, with delivery countrywide across Tanzania. Come and handle it before you buy, or order online and collect.
Every baseball glove is checked in store before it leaves us, and our staff use the same kit in the field, so you get an honest answer on fit and sizing rather than a sales pitch.
Not sure which baseball glove suits you? Call or message the showroom and we will talk you through the options that are actually in stock in Dar es Salaam.
Spare parts and replacements for the baseball glove are easier to get here than on an overseas order, which matters once the gear is in use.
