Youth Baseball Cleats

Whether they’re in Little League or on the high school team, baseball players need cleats that support the type of movement the game requires. The wrong cleats can damage the field, reduce performance and lead to injuries. Whether your child is in tee ball or has advanced to the Pony or Babe Ruth leagues, Hibbett Sports offers the best selection of youth baseball cleats from top brands like Nike, adidas and New Balance.

The right cleats help your youth baseball player slide, dive and run the bases in comfort from the opening pitch through the bottom of the ninth inning. Cleats designed specifically for baseball have a stud placement that supports the turning and running motions of the game while also providing traction on artificial surfaces or dry/turf fields.

Many youth leagues require plastic cleats for safety reasons while other types of cleats are only allowed at certain age levels, or for specific types of surfaces. Professional and collegiate players prefer metal cleats, but they’re heavy and less comfortable than plastic or molded cleats. Metal cleats are also banned from many synthetic baseball fields because they cause too much wear and tear and can make the surface dangerous for players.

Youth baseball cleats should fit snugly to support the foot, but shouldn’t be too tight or too loose. If you’re buying a pair of youth baseball cleats for your child, be sure to measure their feet with a ruler or tape measure and use the sizing chart linked on each product page to find the perfect fit.
