Quick answer: The most useful baseball and softball gifts are the ones a player uses every week in the off-season. A stance mat or on-deck circle makes a strong gift around $100. A softball pitching mat runs $165 to $210. For the serious hitter, a regulation 6 x 12 baseball hitting mat turns a garage or backyard into a real batting station.
Bats and gloves are personal, and most players already have the ones they like. Training gear is different. A quality baseball mat or softball pitching mat gives a player a clean, consistent place to work all winter, which is exactly when reps matter most.

How to Choose
For a pitcher
A softball pitching mat gives a pitcher a stable, flat surface for drills, warmups, and bullpen-style work. Choose Elite for a built-in tufted power line or the Customizable mat to paint your own lines. Both work for baseball pitching practice too. Compare them in our softball pitching mat buying guide.
For a hitter
A baseball hitting mat with tufted batter's box lines gives a hitter a real box to work from. For garages and indoor cages, choose foam backing. For backyard grass, Urethane is lighter and rollable. Our baseball hitting mat buying guide covers inlaid vs painted plate.
For a younger player
A stance mat or on-deck circle is a great first baseball mat. It gives tee work and dry swings a dedicated spot without taking over the garage.
Heads up on size: 6 x 12 hitting mats weigh about 28 to 61 lbs depending on backing, so two people are recommended for moving the heavier foam versions. They ship rolled and need 24 to 48 hours to lay flat.
