Mizuno Samurai Youth Catcher's Gear

This set is designed for youth players, with the helmet fitting sizes 6 1/2” to 7 1/4”. The chest protector measures 14 inches in length, and the shin guards are 14.5 inches long, so we recommend measuring your catcher from the base of the throat to the navel and from the center of the knee to the ankle to ensure a proper fit.

The low-rebound foam is engineered to deaden the impact of the ball upon contact. Instead of the ball bouncing far away after a block, it drops closer to the catcher's feet, making it much easier to recover and prevent runners from advancing.

Yes, the triple knee cup construction provides significantly more mobility than a standard single or double knee design. It allows the catcher to move more fluidly when transitioning from a crouch to a throwing position without the gear binding or restricting movement.

The helmet features a strategic ventilation system designed to promote airflow, which helps keep the player cool during hot, long innings. Additionally, the multi-layer foam padding provides a secure, cushioned fit that reduces pressure points.

The grippy surface is durable, but it can collect dust and dirt over time, which may reduce its effectiveness. Simply wiping it down with a damp cloth after games is usually enough to maintain the texture and keep it performing as intended.
