PitchGuard is designed for baseball and softball players, including travel ball, middle, and high school athletes, as well as younger players using our Youth Kidney Guard. Our gear is built for players facing real pitching speeds who want protection that moves naturally and looks clean on the field.

Depends what you're protecting. Elbow Guard covers your front arm against inside pitches. Leg Guard covers your shin, and foot too if you attach the removable foot guard, for plate coverage and base running. Hand Guard straps over your batting glove for extra protection when a pitch runs in on your hands. Many hitters wear more than one.

PitchGuard uses our patented Split Shell™ Design, which separates impact protection from flexibility. This allows the guard to absorb impact while having a ergonomic fit or feeling or restrictive.

No. PitchGuard products are intentionally designed to be lightweight, flexible, and ergonomic. The goal is protection that moves with the body, not against it, so players can swing, run, and compete naturally.

Flare is an optional personalization system that allows players to swap clean, removable marks on their guard without changing the guard itself. Flare is not required for performance or protection—it simply allows players to express what matters without having to replace the gear, or compromise protection quality.

Yes, every guard, Elbow Guard, Leg Guard, and Hand Guard, is covered by a 1-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Our Youth Kidney Guard is specifically designed for players ages 7–12, offering lower spine and kidney protection while remaining lightweight and comfortable under or over a jersey.
