The Nike Diamond Baseball Sliding Mitt (Model N1003431) is a protective sliding mitt designed specifically for the left hand to shield players from injury during aggressive base running. This black left-hand-specific mitt features an ergonomic design that contours to the natural shape of the left hand, providing comprehensive protection for fingers, knuckles, and the back of the hand while sliding into bases headfirst or feet-first. The innovative construction ensures the mitt stays securely in place during intense gameplay while allowing natural hand movement and quick reactions when reaching for the bag. The lightweight, durable materials withstand repeated impacts and season-long use without adding bulk. The sleek black design with Nike branding offers a professional appearance that complements any uniform. Ideal for baseball and softball players at all levels who prioritize safety and want to slide with confidence knowing their lead hand is protected from cleats, bases, and awkward impacts.

Common Q&A's:
-
Which hand is this mitt for?
This mitt is specifically designed for the left hand, typically worn as the lead hand when sliding into bases. -
Do I need a separate mitt for my right hand?
Most players only wear one sliding mitt on their lead hand (the hand closest to the base), so a single left-hand mitt is sufficient for right-handed throwers who slide with their left hand leading. -
Is this required equipment or optional?
Sliding mitts are optional protective gear; many players choose to wear them to prevent hand and finger injuries during aggressive base running.
