Game Day Essentials for the NCAA Baseball and Softball Championships

Jun 4, 2024

When you’re examining that tournament bracket and sizing up your team’s chances of winning the NCAA baseball championship or the NCAA softball championship, don’t forget to pick out the right fan gear to root for your chosen franchise. Hibbett is home to all things softball and baseball, including all the apparel and equipment a true diamond fan could ask for. Here are a few items to add to your arsenal for the NCAA softball and NCAA baseball championship season.

Baseball and Softball Cleats

This one's for the players -- before the big game, make sure you are equipped with the best gear you can be with baseball and softball cleats from premium brands like New Balance, Jordan, Nike and Rip-It.

These industry greats offer both metal and rubber-soled turf cleats for men and women. Our faves:

Warstic Baseball Bat

Ball Bats

Another one for the players: Bats.

Some of the best brands in the biz are available online and at Hibbett stores near you. We're partial to Warstic baseball bats (you can learn more about this brand here!) and Easton softball bats.

Not sure which type of bat meets regulations for your league or conference? Hibbett carries a range of USSA, USA and BBCOR options.

NCAA Fan Fear

If there's one thing we know about NCAA fans is that they go ALL OUT for their teams. Lucky for them, Hibbett is your hometown headquarters for the fan gear you need to prepare you for cheering on your teams.

We carry team-branded tees, shorts, jerseys, PJs, accessories and more for more than 60 NCAA schools, which means it's easy to find the perfect game-day fit. But don't just take our word for it. Check out our online assortment of men's, women's and kids' products!

Sunglasses

Whether you're on the field or in the stands, don't let the sun prevent you from keeping your eye on the ball. Oakley is among the leaders in sunshades for baseball and softball players - just ask MLB superstars Manny Machado, Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge and Julio Rodriquez!

Their top choices in Oakley sunglasses styles:

  • Oakley Sutro Prizm shades
  • Oakley Radar EV Path sunglasses

Extra Gloves & Mitts

Lastly, before hopping on the bus to head out for your championship series, don't forget to pack an extra glove, just in case.

Softball players can't go wrong with a Wilson A2000 series glove, or a catchers mitt from Mizuno!

Wilson also sells a men's version of the Wilson A2000 series that's top of the line.
