Would a wrist sleeve (this) or an arm sleeve be better for a first baseman?

Either one would be fine. My son has both and switches off using both of them equally.

My opinión is that an arm sleeve is usted to keep your arm warm For any action, The wrist band keeps You wrist supported in order yo minimize any soreness or pain and also protect Your wrist

Depends if its on the throwing hand. If you are trying to protect the wrist this brace or the one with a flexible metal pad would be better. Arm sleeve doesn't do much mostly just for show

Wristbands will help the batter to a defensive position, but has no effect on Do not buy arm sleeve

Hi Andrew. This is a glove that anybody can use. I bought it to play the infield but it was actually a little bit too big for the infield, for me anyway, and I have a big hand. So I used it to play the outfield, first base, and pitch. Once you break it in it has a very nice feel to it. Good luck.

It was a lot better than just using bare hands. But as far as shock absorption, I would recommend Under Armour batting gloves. They're the best I've ever used.

Moderately so. If worn directly against your bare arm, not so much. If worn against an outer layer, it does better at keeping your player dry.

It is usable on either arm. We bought it for our baseball player and he uses it on his arms and sometimes legs.

Yes, but they would look funky, bulky, and, frankly, unprofessional. I would try soccer shin guards. Nobody would even notice you have them on with good protection. I took at line drive to the shin during an open class softball game last season so I get the want for them. I still have a lump from it. I wore soccer shin guards the rest of the year, both plate and bases, for slow pitch.

This shirt is for cold weather. What you need to look for is the ones for hot or warm weather. That would be the one you could wear under a baseball uniform. Just check to see what the shirt says its for. This one says cold gear. The other one will keep you cooler, unless you are playing right now with the temp being still cold out. Although, if you are the pitcher you need to keep your arm warm. Good luck!

I do not see it affecting your throwing one bit. If anything would probably help causebitbdoes govebsome added support. But without limiting your hand like those wrist braces you get from the doctor.... I'm sure you can use these and still throw a ball fine. I see in baseball done pitchers have a similar thing on their wrists.

I believe the top is better. I played a lot of sports we always had the top protected and it seemed more comfortable.

How does the length compare to the sleeve? Could it be to keep it rigid in the event that whatever you put into it isn't?

Both, but that's kind of subjective. It's stiff like a plastic case, but with a rubbery coating that makes it grippy. Not grippy like a silicone sleeve, but def not slick plastic either. You'll just have to try it.

There is no differences in preformance. It is if you like a more cushion feel or a not when you make contact wth the ball. I personally like the thinnest grip to feel immediately how the ball made contact with the bat. I would say Miken, Worth, DeMarini, Louisville Slugger all use a grip similar to Lizard Skins 1.1 mm. Easton uses a thinner cloth-like grip.

Not sure about that, depends on your arm size?! However, I have to retract my statement about the quality of these sleeves! One of my sleeves ripped maybe due to the amount of heavy training?! I don't hate these sleeves, but maybe I need something a little more durable.

I have a sleeve and I teach so it goes from my wrist over my bicept. Drifit material. Well worth the money by far. Way cheaper than any name brands I found.

It's technically worn on your forearm. The sleeve is wider than a wrist guard.

Padding inside the wrist works best for me! You can try both, but i think padding inside the wrist the way most people wear it

Regular padding, the ones your asking about are the training gloves, those have less protection on the wrist, but more padding on the knuckle area. Those gloves are for bag and pad work outs.
