What items do the Major league baseball players have to purchase and which items are provided for them?

Question

I was wondering if Major League Baseball players have to pay for their own bats, gloves, shoes, etc....which items are provided for them by the team and which items do they have to purchase. I see many baseball players with their gloves personalized and I was wondering if they have to pay for their items or if the baseball club pays for them. What about the catchers....do they have to pay for the chest guard, mask, knee supports...etc?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you in advance!!! :)

Answer 1

The major league ballplayers have to pretty much buy nothing....the club gets them their uniform and everything else....some players like different brands so they'll get different kinds...and as for the catchers everything would be provided so that they have the right stuff and it all matches such as logos ,numbers, and color....hope you have a good understanding =)=)=) hope this helps

Answer 2

All equipment at the pro level - minors to major leagues - is provided to players by the team or through promotional deals through the club or signed by individual players.

Answer 3

Nothing. Everything
