Catchers wear Catchers Protective Inner Forearm Sleeves to protect the vulnerable areas of the inner forearms. Comfortable and lightweight Lycra Spandex sleeves have padded pillows that provide a buffer zone from stray balls. Worn for practice or during a game, the sleeves offer an effective layer of protection from bruises and other possible arm injuries. Form-fitting sleeves slide on quickly and easily and allow catchers plenty of freedom of movement. Designed by college baseball coaches to protect a catchers inner forearms and wrists when blocking the ball. Spin the sleeves around and wear during hitting to protect the lead elbow. Excellent for both baseball and softball. The other protective gear (shin guards, chest protector and face mask) shown is not included.
