Fastpitch Pants and Sliding Shorts

Game pants are the most-worn piece of a fastpitch uniform. Options include the Easton Gameday Women's Stretch Pant, the Easton Women's Pro Elite, the Evoshield Youth Unlocked Mid-Rise, and the Mizuno Youth Belted Pant. For sliding protection, look at NIKE Women's Pro and Dri-Fit Sliding Shorts and the Mizuno Women's Aero Vent Padded Sliding Short.

Batting Gloves

The Easton Adult Ghost Ethos, Franklin Women's USA Softball CFX, and Rawlings Women's Workhorse OKC are cut for women's hands. The Easton Fundamental 2.0 and Ghost NX are easy picks for younger players. Check her size first.

Fastpitch Cleats

This price point includes deals like the NIKE Women's Hyperdiamond 4 Keystone Molded cleat, the Mizuno Women's 9-Spike Swift 7 Low Metal, and the New Balance Fresh Foam X Velo v3 Low Metal. Many youth leagues don't allow metal spikes, so molded cleats are the safer pick for younger players.

A First Bat or Glove

For a younger player, entry fastpitch bats like the Louisville Slugger Diva, the Easton Pink Sapphire, and the Easton Youth Ghost fit this budget. Check her league's stamp first, whether USA Softball, USSSA, or NSA. Gloves include the Wilson Siren in 12" and 12.5" and the Mizuno Youth Prospect Finch 10" for the youngest players.

Getting the Size Right

Women's and youth fastpitch pants fit differently by brand, so match the tag on a pair she already wears. If it misses, Play Softball returns make exchanges simple.
