Great options for baseball gear
Q: I'm looking for some new catchers gear and I really love the Under Armour but it's for baseball. I know that the main difference is that there is less chest protection for base ball but other than that are their any other big differences? Thanks in advanced.
A: Yes. But it won't be as comfortable, or protective, as softball equipment.

The gear you use when playing baseball can really make a difference to your game, similar to most sports. Many types of baseball equipment, such as the glove, have to be perfectly suited for each player, as well as the position, or it won’t be possible to play your best. It’s important to have a bat that is the right size and weight for you swing and your build. The following factors are important to consider when buying baseball gear.
A batting helmet may not make you a better hitter, but it definitely protects you from potential danger. While many people may underestimate how dangerous baseball can be, players have been killed by speeding pitches. Getting hit by a ball is no small thing, so always wear a helmet when you’re at bat. If you play in any kind of league, this will be mandatory, but you should also keep this in mind when practicing as well. Look for a high quality helmet that fits well and won’t interfere with your vision.
