Softball Catcher's Gear

The Mizuno Pro Select FP GPSF-20 catcher's mitt delivers pro-level craftsmanship built specifically for fastpitch softball, constructed from premium Steerhide leather for the durability and structured feel serious backstops demand. Engineered to break in faster than the flagship Mizuno Pro line without sacrificing structural integrity, it forms to your hand quickly and holds a firm, reliable pocket long after cheaper mitts go soft. The dedicated fastpitch catcher's pattern delivers the deep pocket and padded protection needed to frame and secure pitch after pitch, making it a dependable, game-ready choice behind the plate.

Key features & specs:

• Premium Steerhide leather — pro-grade hide for durability and a firm, structured pocket.
• Fastpitch catcher's mitt pattern — deep pocket built for receiving and framing.
• Padded palm and reinforced construction — protection against repeated impact.
• Faster break-in than the Mizuno Pro line, with no loss of structure.
• Pro-grade lacing and reinforced heel for long-lasting shape retention.
• Style #313219 · SKU MZ-313219 — Mizuno Pro Select fastpitch series.

Coach's tip: work the break-in from the hinge outward so the mitt snaps shut with one hand on framed strikes. Care: wipe down after use, store with a ball in the pocket to hold shape, and condition lightly a few times a season — keep it out of extreme heat and never store it damp.

Protect your shins and knees behind the plate with the Champro Single Knee Leg Guard. Built with injection-molded, high-impact polyethylene caps, this guard absorbs and deflects foul tips and dirt-ball rebounds while staying light enough to move in. A poly/cotton lining reduces lateral shift so the guard tracks with your leg through every crouch, and extra-strength elastic straps keep it locked in place inning after inning.

Key features & specs:

• Single-knee design for streamlined coverage and mobility
• Injection-molded, high-impact P.E. caps for durable protection
• Poly/cotton lining reduces lateral shift for a stable fit
• Extra-strength elastic straps hold the guard securely in place
• Suited for umpires and available in a team-friendly black finish
• SKU: CS-CG108-B

Coach's tip: Set the strap tension snug but not tight enough to pinch — a guard that slips mid-game leaves the shin exposed right when you need it covered. Care: Wipe the caps clean after games, let the lining and straps air dry so sweat doesn't break down the elastic, and store flat to protect the molded shape.

Extend your protection below the chest with the Champro PRO-PLUS Abdomen Extension. This add-on pad attaches to Champro's PRO-PLUS umpire chest protectors to guard the lower abdomen — a commonly exposed area on low foul tips and short-hop pitches in the dirt. It's a simple, targeted upgrade for umpires who want fuller coverage and added confidence working close behind the plate.

Key features & specs:

• Add-on abdomen extension pad for extended lower-body protection
• Fits the Champro CP13, CP135, and CP14 chest protectors
• 6" length adds coverage below the chest protector
• Guards the lower abdomen against low foul tips and dirt-ball rebounds
• Attaches directly to the existing PRO-PLUS protector
• SKU: CS-CP16

Coach's tip: Combine it with the shoulder extensions for a complete top-to-bottom PRO-PLUS setup built for heavy plate rotations. Care: Wipe down after games, let the pad air out so sweat doesn't sit in the foam, and store it attached to the protector so nothing gets misplaced between games.

Add extra coverage where it counts with the Champro PRO-PLUS Shoulder Extensions. These accessory pads attach to Champro's PRO-PLUS umpire chest protectors to extend protection over the shoulders and collarbone — the areas most exposed to rising foul tips and errant pitches. For umpires who want maximum coverage behind the plate, they're a simple, targeted upgrade that lets you work close with confidence.

Key features & specs:

• Add-on shoulder extension pads for extended upper-body protection
• Fit the Champro CP13, CP135, and CP14 chest protectors
• Increase coverage over the shoulders and collarbone against foul tips
• Attach directly to the existing PRO-PLUS protector
• Ideal for plate umpires who prioritize maximum protection
• SKU: CS-CP15

Coach's tip: Pair them with the abdomen extension to build out a full-coverage PRO-PLUS setup for high-level or high-volume plate work. Care: Wipe down after games, let the pads air out so sweat doesn't sit in the foam, and store attached to the protector so the pieces stay together between assignments.

Complete your catcher's setup with the All-Star Matte Black Catcher's Skull Cap. Designed to wear under a traditional catcher's mask, the SC500M delivers a proven, comfortable fit in a premium matte black finish — the clean, modern look that pairs perfectly with a matte-finish mask.
