Softball Gifts Under $100
Under $100 covers the gear a committed player notices every time she steps on the field: a new batting helmet, a fastpitch glove, cleats, and premium game pants. If you know her size and position, this budget buys a real upgrade.
Fastpitch Batting Helmets
A helmet is one of the most personal pieces of gear she owns. Options include the Evoshield XVT 2.0 Matte with Facemask, the Easton Ghost Matte and Z50 Matte, the Rawlings RX2 Series and Mach Hi-Viz, and the Mizuno Youth F6 2-Tone. Measure her head and check the size chart before you buy. Our softball helmet buying guide walks through fit.
Fastpitch Gloves
Fastpitch gloves have a deeper pocket built for the larger ball. The Wilson A700 in 12" and 12.5", the Rawlings Shut Out 11.5", and the Wilson Siren 12.5" all fit this budget. Infielders usually prefer a shorter glove, while outfielders go longer.
Cleats and Turf Shoes
Molded options include the NIKE Women's Hyperdiamond 4 Pro MCS and the New Balance VELOv4. For high school and older players in leagues that allow metal, the NIKE Hyperdiamond 4 Pro Metal and Under Armour Glyde Sola Pro MT are strong picks. For practice days, the Under Armour Glyde Sola Pro Turfs and NIKE Alpha Huarache Elite 4 Turf Shoes cover cage work and warm-ups.
