Some key things to consider when buying a new pair of batting gloves include, sizing, quality, and of course, appearance. Sizing and quality are most important, you want batting gloves that fit snug but are not too tight. Quality of the gloves is important because you do not want to have to keep buying new gloves, you will want a pair that will last through heavy use. Lastly, you may want to find a good-looking pair of gloves, because after all, look good, play good.
Batting gloves are not a requirement. Wearing them is completely personal preference, so wear whatever feels comfortable to you. However, we would recommend wearing batting gloves as they will help prevent vibrations, and give you more grip on the bat for increased bat control.
Batting gloves should fit snugly on your hand, with not much space left in the tips of the fingers. However, you do not want them to by super tight as this could potentially cut off circulation to your hands.
Washing and drying a pair of batting gloves will help to shrink them but will potentially ruin the durability of the gloves. If they are leather gloves, however, we would not recommend washing and drying them as it will completely ruin them.
You do not see many players wearing just one batting glove anymore, its either two gloves or no gloves. It is complete personal preference. So, go with whatever feels most comfortable to you.
