Ball players know that the best ability is availability and staying on the field is crucial to helping them stay locked in and play their best. But whether you’re in the batter’s box or on the basepaths, the risk of injury is always present. That’s why we have engineered protective equipment designed to reduce and prevent injury to keep baseball and softball players in the game. Franklin’s all-new PRT® line of sliding gloves, padded batting gloves, and protective guards have been rigorously tested to provide more protection for hitters and baserunners than the other leading hard-shell brands. Make sure you and your team have all the protective gear you need to play the game hard. We’ve got you covered.
Constructed to protect hitters’ hands at the plate, the CFX® PRT® padded batting gloves are designed to combat hit-by-pitch-related injuries. Made with the same durable, high-performance leather as our CFX® Pro model, the CFX® PRT® batting gloves have a built-in, protective soft-shell layer to reduce the chance of injury. Designed to harden on impact, the lightweight, protective handback has been thoroughly tested to ensure highly effective impact absorption at every point of contact to bring hitters full confidence in every at-bat.
These batting gloves are also built with an extended wrist cuff for additional stability and support. By adding protection without sacrificing fit, comfort, and flexibility, these batting gloves are quickly becoming a must-have for hitters who are looking to add a little peace of mind to their plate appearances.
Over the past few seasons, hand guards have become extremely popular among MLB® pros who are looking to keep their hands protected at the plate. With so many small and fragile bones in the hand, hit-by-pitches can be costly in terms of pain and injury. The lightweight, soft-shell hand PRT® LT hand guard is designed to add a layer of protection without adding any bulkiness or discomfort. Designed to harden on impact, the interior shell disperses the force of the ball to minimize injury risk. Simply insert your middle and ring fingers (or preferred fingers) through the loops and insert the bottom tab into your batting glove closure to attach. Constructed for dual-hand utility, this handguard can be used by both righty and lefty hitters to protect players on both sides of the plate. Over time, with long-term use, the flexible inner shell is designed to form to the shape of your hand, for a customized fit and increased comfort and security.
Add a layer of protection with the PRT® LG hand guard, which includes a wrist extension for added protection. The attached wrist extender ensures additional coverage for hitters and is secured with a wrap-around wrist strap to guarantee a tight, comfortable fit.
As the official sliding glove of Major League Baseball, there is no better way for baserunners to protect their hands and wrists on the basepaths than with the CFX® PRT® Sliding Glove. Baseball and softball players’ greatest tools are their hands, and it is crucial to make sure they are being protected correctly. Designed to be worn on either hand, this reversible sliding glove has a built-in soft shell protector that hardens on impact to prevent runners from jamming their fingers on the base and being stepped on by fielders. With a reinforced wrist wrap included, this sliding mitt provides a firm, secure fit to give baserunners added peace of mind when diving headfirst into the bag.
Additionally, the soft, lightweight protective material is designed to remain responsive so runners can still use their hands and fingers to grip the bag without sliding past. With players constantly moving at top speeds, baserunning presents many opportunities for impact and injury. Make sure you have the protection you need to keep your hands and wrists safe.
Fouling the ball off your foot as a hitter, in addition to being very painful, can easily cost you time on the injured list. Our PRT® Leg Guard is engineered to provide as much padding for shins, ankles, and feet as possible so hitters can swing away knowing they are protected. The soft-shell protective pad is designed to absorb and disperse impact to reduce the potential of injury from foul balls. Franklin’s PRT™ Leg Guards provide more protection than other leg guards on the market by protecting the shins to the toes, including both sides of the ankle for maximum coverage.
Designed as a dual-utility guard that can be worn comfortably on either leg, this flexible lightweight leg guard is the perfect accessory for all hitters looking to protect themselves at the plate. The flexible interior shell molds to the shape of hitters’ legs over time, developing a custom fit that protects without the typical bulkiness of other leg guards. Make sure you keep yourself protected and in the game with the PRT® Protective Leg Guard.
Every baseball player will tell you that the elbow is one of the most exposed spots on any hitter and that getting hit on the elbow can be seriously debilitating while presenting the risk for significant injury. The PRT® Elbow Guard from Franklin Sports provides more protection than any other elbow guard on the market by extending down the forearm for increased protection and security. The lightweight, flexible shield hardens and absorbs the force of impact to reduce the risk of pain and injury. The ultra-comfortable PRT® guard protects from the mid-triceps to the middle of the hitter’s forearms.
The 2-in-1 design combines full coverage of the elbow with a detachable forearm extension to ensure maximum protection of the entire arm. The form-fitting interior shield molds to the shape of the arm over time to ensure a comfortable fit that won’t impede or alter the shape of any swing. Stay safe and locked in at the plate; grab yourself a PRT® Elbow Guard.
Franklin’s PRT® series has the protective equipment baseball and softball players need to provide peace of mind at the plate and on the basepaths. Confidence is key for peak performance. Play with confidence every time you step between the lines because Franklin Sports has you covered.
