Baseball Catcher's Leg Guards

Baseball leg guards must fit securely to protect against injuries. When measuring for leg pads, no matter what size you wear, it is important to ensure they are not too small. Measure your leg from the middle of your knee cap (patella) to the base of your ankle bone (tibia). Leg guards come in sizes ranging from 12 inches to 16 inches, though some manufacturers offer custom options outside the standard range.
