Do baseball socks go over the pants? The short answer is no. The long answer is more complicated. Part of the answer to that is that there’s no such thing as a ‘correct’ pant leg length. There’s just how high you want to wear your stirrups. Another part of the answer is that there’s no such thing as a ‘wrong’ way to wear stirrups. They just vary in length and color. And lastly, an explanation as to why certain colored baseball socks are considered a ‘red flag’ and others not.
There you have it — the lowdown on how to dress for softball.
If you’re going to a sporting event such as a baseball game, a stirrup is a great way to bring attention to your cleats and also to keep an athlete cooler.
However, softball is no picnic area. There are strict rules that have to be adhered to, including no spikes, hanging spikes, raise stirrups, hook and loop fasteners, and excessive panting. To keep yourself safe, I would suggest bringing a pair of locked shoes with you to all events. If you’re purchasing a pair of softball pants, make sure they’re locked properly and that the elastic cuff band is the correct size. If not, you could get a little nicked up on the soles of your pants.

There’s no such thing as a cup sized baseball sock. There’s only a cup, and you’re required to wear a cup, so if you plan on catching getting a cup SIZED right will do just fine.
If you really want to impress your coaches or teammates, get a cup SIZED. That way when you’re wearing your pants it will show, but at least then you won’t have to worry about sizing up your pants each time you’re on the field.
If you want to get the most out of your cup SIZE WRAP, pull the sock over the cleat so that it’s resting on the cleat. This will help keep the cup SIZEER OUT of the way.
If you’re wearing a cup, it’s a good idea to wear it double thick. This will help keep the fabric from bunching up too much.
Also make sure that the hem of your dress is set correctly. If it is accidentally yanked down while you’re playing, you WILL regret it. Double checking on this aspect of your dress can save your life if you’re accidentally yanking it down while you’re playing.
