Three Baseball Brands With the Biggest Sales of the Holiday Season
Anwar Stetson
Baseball parents know the drill. The calendar says December, but the group chats are already buzzing about spring tryouts, new cleats, and whether last season’s pants still fit. It seems like kids hit a growth spurt every other weekend, tournaments pop up out of nowhere, and somehow there is always one missing batting glove that never turns up again.
The holidays end up being the perfect time to reload, especially when good gear goes on sale. Three brands—Franklin Sports, Guardian Baseball, and Dirty Mids Baseball—stand out this holiday season for families hoping to get ahead of the first bullpen session of the year.
Franklin Sports – Holiday Sale on Gloves and Gear
Franklin Sports’ gloves are the official batting gloves of the MLB, but the brand has become just as important for youth players who want consistent feel and fit.
This season, Franklin is pushing a site‑wide holiday sale, with gear, gloves, and accessories discounted, making it a good time to grab batting gloves, fielding mitts, or even starter sets for younger players.
Franklin’s sliding mitts are currently half off on their website for $25.00. Bright and eye-popping colorways like these Fourth of July-themed batting gloves, or these camouflaged armed forces batting gloves are on sale on the Franklin website.
Their batting gloves get most of the attention, but the company has put equal care into training tools, fielding gloves, and accessories that help kids take more reps with purpose. Franklin is currently highlighting a Swing Station Trainer, a Flyback Rebound Net, and other training tools as a part of its holiday gift guide.
Guardian Baseball – Huge Baseball Bat Sale
Guardian Baseball, founded by former college player Zev Bernard and entrepreneur Matt Kubancik, was built around making affordable baseball gear for families and a mission to give back.
According to its website, Guardian Baseball has donated over 20,000 pieces of gear across the U.S., Africa, the Dominican Republic, and Venezuela.
All of Guardian’s baseball gear is designed with insight from former major leaguer and partner Matt Joyce, giving the brand more credibility in the baseball space. Guardian is a baseball-only brand, built for players who want to take their game to the next level.
Right now, there’s a massive sale on baseball bats on the Guardian website. Normally $269.99, this Guardian X Stinger BBCOR 2 5/8″ Baseball Bat is on sale for just $59.99 in three colorways.
These pre-broken in fielding gloves are also on sale for $74.99, down from $139.99.
When budgets get tight before spring, having a trusted one‑stop shop takes some pressure off.
Dirty Mids Baseball – 25% Off Sitewide + Free Sliding Mitt
Dirty Mids Baseball is another growing baseball-only brand, and it has been making waves with sponsorships on social media. One of their partners is the popular Savannah Bananas travel team.
The brand’s cool identity resonates with young athletes who care about both mobility and style.
Along with baseball gear and pants, they also have a cool collection of necklaces, which are currently on sale.
With holiday discounts already rolling out, Dirty Mids is offering 25% off sitewide on orders over $100, plus free sliding mitt and free shipping on the same orders.
The ubiquitous “dirty mids” baseball pants are also on sale for $41.25, down from $55.
For families looking to refresh uniforms and apparel before the season, Dirty Mids has quickly become a go‑to option.
