Baseball Catcher's Gear

The All-Star MVP2500-GTT delivers the same flagship S7 protection as the standard MVP2500, finished in a sharp graphite two-tone colorway that gives catchers a professional, distinctive look behind the plate. It's built for programs that want elite head protection and a standout appearance — NOCSAE-certified safety wrapped in a premium two-tone design that pairs cleanly with matching catcher's gear.

Key features & specs:

• Full S7 protection system for top-tier catcher head protection
• Graphite two-tone colorway for a premium, pro-style look
• NOCSAE certified for sanctioned play

• Available in multiple two-tone color combinations
• Ideal for programs prioritizing both safety and style

Coach's tip: Match the graphite two-tone helmet to your S7 chest protector and leg guards for a fully coordinated, varsity-level catcher setup that looks as sharp as it protects. Care: Wipe the shell and padding with mild soap and water, air out the interior after each game, and retire the helmet after any significant impact or visible cracking.

The All-Star MVP2500 is All-Star's flagship adult catcher's helmet, built around the full S7 protection system for catchers who demand the best head protection available. NOCSAE certified and offered in a wide range of colorways, it's the preferred pick for varsity and travel-ball programs that won't compromise behind the plate. When a catcher is your last line of defense on every pitch, this is the helmet that backs them up.

Key features & specs:

• Full S7 protection system — All-Star's top-tier catcher head protection
• NOCSAE certified for sanctioned play
• Adult fit for older and full-grown catchers
• Ventilated design for comfort across a full game
• Wide range of color options, including graphite, maroon, and silver

Coach's tip: Invest in your starting catcher's helmet first — it's the piece of gear taking the most direct impact every game, and top-tier protection there pays off. Care: Wipe the shell and padding with mild soap and water, air out after every game to manage sweat, and retire the helmet after any significant impact or visible cracking.

The All-Star MVP2410 brings UltraCool ventilation to youth catchers in a properly sized shell, giving developing players the airflow they need to stay comfortable and focused in warm conditions. It's the comfort upgrade youth and middle school programs reach for when their catchers are logging long innings in summer heat — NOCSAE-certified protection paired with a cooler, more breathable fit built for younger players.

Key features & specs:

• UltraCool ventilation for improved airflow and cooler wear
• Youth-specific sizing for a secure, proper fit
• Durable construction for daily practice and game use

Coach's tip: A cooler, better-fitting helmet keeps young catchers behind the plate longer without fatigue — a real advantage in summer tournament formats. Care: Wipe the shell and pads with mild soap and water, air out the padding after each use to control moisture and odor, and replace any helmet that cracks or absorbs a hard impact.

The All-Star MVP2400 features All-Star's UltraCool ventilation system to keep adult catchers cooler and more comfortable during warm-weather games. Catchers work harder than anyone on the field, and heat behind the mask wears players down late in a game — this helmet's airflow-focused design helps varsity and travel-ball catchers stay fresh and focused inning after inning, all while meeting the protection standards sanctioned play demands.

Key features & specs:

• NOCSAE certified for catcher's head protection
• UltraCool ventilation improves airflow to keep catchers cooler
• Adult fit for older and full-grown players
• Durable build for the demands of daily catching

Coach's tip: For hot summer tournaments, the UltraCool models pay off late in doubleheaders when a comfortable catcher stays sharper on pitch-calling and blocking. Care: Wipe the shell and pads with mild soap and water, air out the padding fully between games to manage sweat and odor, and retire any helmet that cracks or takes a significant impact.

The All-Star MVP2310 youth catcher's helmet delivers NOCSAE-certified protection sized specifically for younger players, so developing catchers get a fit that stays put and protects properly.

Coach's tip: Fit is everything for young catchers — a helmet that's too big shifts on a foul tip, so size to the player and re-check fit as they grow. Care: Wipe the shell and padding with mild soap and water, air out after each use to control moisture and odor, and replace any helmet that cracks or absorbs a hard impact.

The All-Star MVP2300 delivers solid, NOCSAE-certified protection at an accessible price, making it the go-to catcher's helmet for programs outfitting multiple players behind the plate.

• Adult fit sized for older and full-grown players
• Ventilated design to keep catchers cooler over long innings
• Durable construction built for the daily grind behind the plate
• Available in multiple team colors
• Value-focused for equipping several catchers at once

Coach's tip: Keep a spare catcher's helmet in the dugout — catchers rotate and gear takes abuse, so a backup keeps a passed ball or cracked shell from stopping the game. Care: Wipe the shell and padding with mild soap and water, air out after each game to control moisture, and retire any helmet that cracks or takes a significant impact.

The All-Star Top Star Adult Catcher's Mitt (33.5") delivers noticeably better leather quality and break-in characteristics than entry-level options, making it a meaningful upgrade for catchers who are past the beginner stage.

Condition the leather lightly a few times a season and keep it dry to prevent cracking.

The Mizuno Franchise GFN1T is a 30-inch training catcher's mitt built to teach young backstops proper receiving mechanics and soft hands. Its deliberately compact 30-inch pattern is smaller than a game mitt, forcing catchers to receive the ball cleanly in the center of the pocket and quicken their transfers — habits that carry straight into live play. A full-grain leather shell and laced binding deliver Mizuno's proven durability, while a two-piece solid web and SteerSoft Elite palm liner give the mitt a dependable, comfortable feel.

Fastpitch catchers set the tone for the whole defense, and the Mizuno MVP Prime 34-inch fastpitch catcher's mitt gives them the tools to own the position. Bio Soft Leather — a professional-style smooth leather with the perfect balance of oil and softness — delivers exceptional feel and firm control behind the plate, while Mizuno's Center Pocket Designed pattern naturally centers the ball for quiet, secure receiving. A Parashock+ palm pad absorbs the impact of hard fastballs to cut down on sting, and the PowerLock closure locks the mitt to the wrist for a quick, secure fit through long innings.
