Honest Spec Notes

Fabric: A 4-way stretch poly-spandex compression knit, not the heavier double-knit of the game pants. It is an under-layer, so it sits snug to the body for support and slide protection rather than as an outer garment.

Padding: Optional foam pads sew into the hips and thighs to cushion the slide. order them padded for infielders and base stealers, or unpadded as a plain compression short. A front cup pocket is available on request.

Fit & cup pocket: Compression fit is snug. size to the body, not loose, so it stays put under the pants. There is no belt loop or fly. it is an under-layer with an elastic waistband. A cup pocket can be added.

Decoration: Decoration is full-color sublimation, which stretches with the 4-way fabric. a solid team color with an optional small leg logo. We do not recommend embroidery or tackle twill on the stretch knit. the stitches pop as the fabric flexes. As an under-layer it is usually kept simple.

Decoration Options for Your Baseball Pants

Because the fabric is 4-way stretch, decoration is full-color sublimation that moves with the short. a solid team color with an optional small leg logo. We keep embroidery and tackle twill off the stretch knit, where the stitches pop. As an under-layer, most teams keep it simple.

Sublimation

Full-color sublimation stretches with the 4-way fabric, so it never cracks or peels as the short flexes. Run a solid team color with an optional small leg logo. it is the recommended method on the compression knit.

Best for:Solid team color, a small leg logo, color-matching the kit, full stretch coverage

Heat-Transfer Logo — small leg mark

A small heat-transfer logo or initials on the leg, applied flat so it flexes with the fabric. We do not recommend embroidery or tackle twill on the 4-way stretch. the stitches pop as the short moves. Keep any mark small on an under-layer.

Best for:A small leg logo or initials, simple team identification on an under-layer

Screen Printing

Flat-color print can place a simple mark, but it can crack as the stretch fabric flexes. For anything on a compression short, sublimation is the better method and is built into the price.

Best for:A simple single-color mark where stretch is minimal

Logo & Design Placement Options

  • Full short: solid sublimated team color base
  • Leg hem: small sublimated or heat-transfer team logo (no embroidery on the stretch knit)
  • Waistband: contrast accent color in the team palette
  • Hip / thigh: optional foam pad panels (functional, not decorative)

Baseball Sliding Shorts FAQ

The questions teams and coaches ask before ordering baseball sliding shorts. answered for the compression fit, the foam pads, and the cup pocket.

What are baseball sliding shorts?
They are a compression short worn under the game pants. The 4-way stretch fabric supports the muscles and wicks moisture, and optional foam pads at the hips and thighs cushion the slide. Infielders, catchers, and base stealers wear them most. anyone who hits the dirt regularly. They go under your game pants, not instead of them.
Do they come with sliding pads?
Optionally. We can sew foam pad panels into the hips and thighs to cushion the slide, or leave them out for a plain compression short. Tell us padded or unpadded in your quote. Padded is the common choice for infielders and base stealers.
Is there a cup pocket?
Yes, on request. A front cup pocket can be built in for players who need it. Note it in your quote and we add it to the pattern.
Can we put our team logo on them?
Yes, by sublimation. The 4-way stretch fabric takes a sublimated solid team color and a small leg logo that stretches with the short. We do not recommend embroidery or tackle twill on the stretch knit, because the stitches pop as the fabric flexes. As an under-layer most teams keep them a simple team color.
What size should players order?
Size to the body measurement. Sliding shorts are meant to fit snug as a compression layer, so do not size up. Use the chest/waist/hip chart and pick the size that matches the player's actual measurement. Custom sizing is available at no surcharge if you need it.
Can we order them with the team pants and jerseys?
Yes. Order the sliding shorts alongside your baseball kit and we run them in the same production batch and colorway. The compression short ships with the game pants, jerseys, and the rest of the uniform.
What is the minimum order?
There is no minimum. Order from a single pair up. Tier-1 pricing covers 1-20 pieces at the same per-piece rate, with five more volume brackets giving deeper discounts up to 1,000 pieces.
