ABSTRACT:
The protective baseball batting garment is an article used by batters only while at bat in the playing of the game of baseball as done in the United States and perhaps some foreign countries. The protective jacket is adapted to protect the upper portion of the human torso and arms where severe injury to the batter is most prevalent caused by a baseball thrown by the pitcher of the opposing team in the field to a batter at home plate in the batters box during the playing of the game of baseball. Hard pads or padded sections are sewn into or on the exterior of a jacket to protect the forearm, elbow and outer bicep of arm facing the opposing pitcher, opposed side padded sections, shoulder and shoulder blades and back section, all of which are provided with inner more resilient materials to absorb the shock of the thrown baseball by opposing pitcher to a batter in the batters box who is wearing the jacket so padded. The side sections protect the rib areas, the shoulder and shoulder blade section protect the shoulder and shoulder blades and the back section protect the spine and back, and, these particular sections are arranged so that flexible areas bounded each section is provided by sewing through the material of the jacket between the various sections to give flexibility to the jacket so that the batter has freedom of movement in the areas specified between the various padded sections so that the batter can freely swing his bat to hit the baseball thrown to him by the opposing pitcher.
