A lot of people enjoy playing baseball. Some enjoy playing on their school teams and some just gather up their friends for a friendly game. They all have their gloves, balls and bats so they can throw, catch and hit the ball. The catcher always has special equipment among the other players. He or she will need a mask, chest protector, shin guards, and a catchers mitt.

Catchers mitts are different from ordinary baseball gloves. They have a pocket that catches the ball perfectly. They have added padding for protection from strong throws. They are uniquely shaped so the catcher can easily grab the ball for the throw to second base.
