Approximately 52,000 yen for 10 items such as uniform top and bottom, hat, grab, etc.
Parents and children are interested in baseball, but I’m wondering if I should put my child in the youth baseball team … One of the major reasons parents can’t take the first step is probably the large number of baseball equipment they need and the initial cost. We asked a baseball equipment specialty store about the minimum preparation required to start baseball and the average price of each equipment.
When you start any sport, you need equipment and clothing. It is easy to imagine what should be prepared for soccer, basketball, track and field, and swimming, where there are many children who belong to lessons and teams. On the other hand, it is difficult to imagine what to buy from without experience and how much it will cost in total. When you go to the store, you’ll be amazed at how many tools you need from your head to your feet.
Baseball equipment changes with age and experience. Tetsuya Hoshi, the manager of the baseball specialty store “Baseman” Tachikawa, lists 10 items that must be prepared when starting baseball. Since the price varies depending on the function and manufacturer, the price shown is a reference price assuming a baseball beginner who visits “Baseman”.
1 hat 3000 yen
2 7,000 yen on uniform
3 Under uniform 3000 yen
4 Undershirt 2000 yen
5 belt 1000 yen
6 Socks 2000 yen (Socks + stockings depending on the team)
7 grab 13,000 yen
