Why Hitters Choose Gem Gloves
When you step into the box, the way your hands connect with the bat can change everything. Gem Batting Gloves are engineered to elevate that connection with pro-level feel, confident grip, and season-long durability. From streamlined short cuffs for maximum mobility to extended cuffs for added stability, each pair is designed to fit like a second skin and keep you locked in at the plate.
Built for Feel, Grip, and Game-Long Comfort
At the core of every Gem glove is a premium Cabretta leather palm—naturally soft, tacky, and responsive. Anatomical patterns mirror the way hands actually move, delivering total bat control with minimal bunching. The result? A glove that disappears in your hand, so you can focus on your swing.
Durability Where It Counts
Reinforced wear zones are placed precisely where hitters see the most friction, extending the life of your gloves without adding bulk. Strategic stitching supports flexibility while resisting blowouts, practice after practice and series after series.
Pick Your Feel: Long Cuff vs. Short Cuff
- Prospector Long Cuff — Structured wrist support and a secure, locked-in feel through contact.
- Prospector Short Cuff — Low-profile freedom of motion for a lighter, quicker feel.

FAQs
What’s the difference between long cuff and short cuff?
Long cuff models add structured wrist support and a locked-in feel for confidence through contact. Short cuff models prioritize freedom of motion for faster adjustments and a lighter overall feel.
What leather do you use, and how does it feel?
We use premium Cabretta leather in the palms for a buttery-soft touch, excellent feedback, and a naturally tacky grip that stays smooth swing after swing.

Air-dry after use and store in the included vented glove bag. Avoid heat and harsh cleaners to preserve leather feel and longevity.
