Coaches first supply players with jerseys, hats, and other essential baseball equipment when baseball season starts.
Another important item to give to players is a baseball pin. These pins quickly become a meaningful part of the season—something players can wear, collect, and proudly show off.
Pins are great way to motivate your players to do well. Some examples of specialized pins are:
- Players who hit home runs
- steal the most bases
- catch the most infield balls
- catch the most outfield balls
- hit the most homeruns
- bats the most players home
- have good sportsmanship
- most improved player
- most valuable player
Award pins help players feel recognized for their hard work, and they can encourage younger athletes to stay positive and keep improving throughout the season. A baseball pin can be custom designed to match your team’s logo and colors. You can also include the player numbers, and furthermore, some designs even have enough space to put their names. That extra personalization makes each pin feel even more special and memorable.
Your Players Can Trade Their Baseball Pins with Other Teams
Baseball trading pins are meant to be exchanged throughout the season, so it’s smart to order a large supply from the start. To estimate how many you’ll need, multiply the number of games your team will play by the average number of players on each team—and don’t forget to include coaches, assistants, and bat boys. It’s also a good idea to order extra pins for parents, fans, and siblings who want to support the team and participate in the fun.
If your team makes it to the playoffs, consider ordering an extra batch to celebrate the achievement and keep as souvenirs. Many teams even create a special “playoff edition” design with the tournament name, year, or location to make it stand out from regular season pins. Trading pins are more than collectibles—they build connections, team spirit, and lasting memories that players cherish for years. Whether your players are trading at tournaments, in between games, or after a big win, these pins become keepsakes that represent the best moments of the season.
