Baseball is a sport that typically requires kids to get involved with early. Luckily enough, it’s a sport that kids will either or hate, and you’ll know their opinion pretty quickly.

If you see a lot of value in baseball and would like your child to fall in love with the sport, it’s essential to somehow show them the value that you see. Part of this means getting them a thing or two to enjoy as they learn the ropes.

We’re going to suggest some baseball stuff for kids that’s sure to get your little one interested in the game.

Baseball Stuff for Kids:

We should mention that it’s never a good idea to make your child play a specific sport if they absolutely hate it. Living vicariously through our kids is a mistake that most of us understand first-hand from our own childhoods.

That being said, we can sweeten the pot a little bit by making our kids interested in a sport by showing them why that sport is so cool. When it comes to baseball, here are some places to start:

Baseball Cards:

Watching a game or two of baseball on television and talking about the highlights with your child is really exciting. After that happens, it’s a perfect time to run out to the store and grab them some baseball cards to sift through and pour over.

For some reason, having a physical card with someone’s photo on it is a huge deal to kids and they’ll be interested to see their favorite players on TV next time.

A Mit for You and Them:

Playing catch with your kid will also be a good way to generate some interest in the game.

You can start slow, allowing them to get the ropes of throwing and catching. When you get a little more comfortable, though, you can start doing diving catches and making little games out of your time playing catch.

If you’re as excited about playing catch as you want them to be, they’ll follow suit.

Good Equipment:

We’re not saying that you have to have the best gear in the world, but buying your child adequate equipment for their first season of T-ball or little league is going to do a lot to generate interest.

Some nice cleats, baseball stirrups, a decent bat, and a good glove is all you need. Most teams will provide pants, jerseys, and hats for all of the players.

If your child is really excited to use their new bat, they’ll be all the more excited when they make contact with the ball while they’re using it.
