Softball Catcher's Accessories

The Mizuno RunBird® Catcher's Knee Wedge takes the strain out of long innings behind the plate. Designed to comfortably support the knee while crouching, it helps catchers stay lower longer and recover faster by reducing the discomfort of prolonged squatting through doubleheaders and tournament weekends.

Key features & specs

• Anatomical, pre-curved design that fits the natural crouch
• Memory foam padding for targeted, lasting comfort
• Breathable DryLite® lining that wicks moisture away
• Lightweight, low-profile fit that stays out of the way
• Available in Small and Large

Best for: baseball and fastpitch catchers at every level. The wedge slips on and off in seconds, so catchers can wear it for warm-ups and bullpen work and remove it for game action without fuss, and its low-profile shape keeps weight down without interfering with shin guards. Usage tip: position the wedge behind the knee and calf for support during bullpen sessions and games. Care: hand wash with mild soap and air dry to protect the foam and lining.

Put your catcher behind a modern, breathable helmet that protects without blocking the play. The Champro Cannon Catcher's Helmet combines a hockey-style shell with a steel faceguard and an ideal-fit pad system, giving backstops secure protection and the wide sightlines they need to track runners, pop-ups, and every pitch in the dirt.

Key features & specs

• New hockey-style ABS shell with improved ventilation for greater breathability
• Roughly 10% greater peripheral vision than most traditional catcher's helmets
• Lightweight, durable flat-bar carbon steel faceguard
• Multi-density pad system dials in an ideal, secure fit
• AirTech® ventilation system allows warm air to circulate and escape
• Pad lining features DRI-GEAR® moisture-wicking and BIO-FRESH® antimicrobial technology

Coach's tip: Measure the athlete's head circumference and confirm the helmet sits level with no side-to-side movement before game action. Wipe the shell and faceguard with a mild soap solution, air-dry the pads fully between uses to protect the antimicrobial liner, and inspect the faceguard for bent or loose bars regularly.

Give your catcher the modern protection and sightlines they need behind the plate. The Champro HXBoss Matte Catcher's Headgear pairs a hockey-style shell with a low-profile steel faceguard so backstops stay protected on every foul tip and cross-up while keeping a clear view of the play developing in front of them.

Key features & specs

• New matte-finish hockey-style ABS shell with improved ventilation for greater breathability
• Roughly 10% greater peripheral vision than most traditional catcher's helmets, for tracking runners and pop-ups
• Lightweight, durable flat-bar carbon steel faceguard
• Multi-density pad system delivers a comfortable, secure fit and impact protection
• AirTech® ventilation system lets warm air circulate and escape
• Pad lining features DRI-GEAR® moisture-wicking and BIO-FRESH® antimicrobial technology
• Sizing: Large fits 7 to 7 1/2, Medium fits 6 1/4 to 7
• Meets the NOCSAE standard for catcher's head protection

Coach's tip: Size by measuring the athlete's head circumference and check that the mask sits level with a snug, rattle-free fit before every game. Wipe the shell and faceguard with a mild soap solution, air-dry the pads fully between uses to preserve the antimicrobial liner, and inspect the faceguard welds regularly for a season of reliable protection.

The Champro Throat Guard adds a critical layer of protection to any Champro catcher's or umpire's mask, shielding the throat and neck from foul tips, backswings, and errant pitches. This high-impact accessory attaches quickly and stays put, giving players and officials confidence to stay locked in on every pitch.

Key features & specs:

• High-impact, poly-molded construction absorbs and deflects direct contact
• Snap straps provide a secure, rattle-free fit
• Available in 6.5" and 4.5" lengths to fit different players and coverage needs
• Compatible with all Champro® headgear and masks
• Lightweight design adds protection without hindering vision or movement

Coach's tip: The larger 6.5" guard offers maximum coverage for catchers and plate umpires, while the 4.5" size suits younger players; check the snap straps before each game to be sure the guard hangs freely and returns to position after contact. Wipe the guard clean with a damp cloth and let it air dry to keep the poly shell and straps in good shape throughout the season.

The Champro Catcher's/Coach's Helmet gives catchers and base coaches lightweight head protection with an all-around field of view. Built on a well-ventilated ABS shell, it's comfortable enough to wear all game and durable enough to stand up to the daily demands of practice and competition.

Key features & specs:

• Adult catcher's/coach's helmet for behind-the-plate and base-coaching use
• Lightweight, durable ABS shell resists impact and wear
• Well-ventilated design promotes airflow to keep the head cool
• Dual-density foam padding delivers protection, comfort, and a secure fit
• Clean glossy finish takes team colors and decoration well
• Streamlined shape pairs easily with a separate catcher's mask

Coach's tip: confirm the helmet meets your league's specific requirements for the catcher position, and pair it with an approved mask and throat guard for full behind-the-plate protection. Care: wipe the shell and padding clean after use, let it air dry fully to keep the interior fresh, and inspect the foam and shell regularly, replacing the helmet if it takes a significant impact.
