Batter started wearing construction gloves to save money

he is choosing to do that. UA is providing them with battling gloves.

Hit the go ahead bomb with them a few innings later. #hrmitts

Everybody wants to be like K-Mac

@TalkinBaseball_ People have been doing this for a while. Same with leather gardening gloves

those cost $3 at home depot, absolute power move

bro's out here saving $12 on batting gloves while looking like he's about to frame a house mid-at-bat... 🤦‍♀️

$7 Home Depot gloves cooking $90 Nikes😂Zach Hunt out here launching go-ahead bombs that last 6 months. Absolute legend🛠️⚾️

No he didn’t.

@TalkinBaseball_ Baseball equipment is so expensive. So I am a fan of the innovation

Love this @WeMissBobby #hardhat #bluecollar #lunchpail

@TalkinBaseball_ Literally no difference from Bolts or whatever the coolest thing is now. When I played youth football everyone needed Newman gloves with the sticky, even guys who never touched the football ($50/pair). Forward 30 years my son didn’t like wearing batting gloves

Eyewash

He def has an uncle that plays slow pitch that he saw do that

The Citadel is such a poverty program

Dis harder than than a mf

This isn’t to save money. Construction gloves offer better friction on the bats. Less need to for tar

Corniest shit I’ve ever seen on a baseball field

Batting gloves are overpriced is the moral of the story

This is really common

I'm like relatively sure he can get batting gloves for free

Those are deer skin driver gloves. That’s what they call them. Soft. Absorbs sweat without losing dexterity and grip

We did that back in 2003 as a style smh

People been doing that since 2005!

Ump called that first pitch a strike?!

He's not special. 50%of the slow pitch softball hardos have been doing this for 5+ years

@GamecockWill69

The cost of decent batting gloves IS ridiculous...

“Construction gloves”….. whoever posted this has never been within 5 miles of a pair of work gloves in their life.

@TalkinBaseball_ They are way cheaper than actual batting gloves and have better grip 💁🏼‍♂️

Maybe these?

@TalkinBaseball_ I remember last year when a Texas state player started this

Had a couple teammates doing this in HS around 35 years ago

They can charge more for batting gloves. It's marketing. A can of pure pumpkin is about two dollars. If it's labeled for dogs it's four dollars to five dollars for the exact same product with a different label.
