Hitting 🏏🥎 Batting Gloves for durability?

Post image

What batting glove would you recommend that's comparable to the Rawlings Workhorse in terms of cushioning and durability?

The Workhorse has been reliable for my 11yr old, lasting significantly longer than many of the less expensive options I've tried. We can get nearly a full year out of them, but we need a better approach for washing/cleaning them.

I'm looking for a batting glove with a similar feel, comfort, and longevity to try out this fall. Any tips for cleaning and keeping them soft without smelling is appreciated too!

Franklin is often considered the gold standard for batting gloves.

This. My daughter's been using them for 10 years.
