Catcher's equipment consists of a MITT, pads, and shinguards. A MITT is a glove worn by the catcher to catch the ball. Pads are protective gear worn by the catcher to protect their body from the impact of the ball. Shinguards are worn by the catcher to protect their legs from the impact of the ball. All of these pieces of equipment are essential for a catcher to be able to perform their job safely and effectively.
