how to get sweat smell out of your baseball glove

How to Keep Batting Gloves Fresh All Season Long

The Hidden Opponent in Your Batting Gloves

You step up to the plate. The pitcher winds up. You tighten your grip, ready to connect— And then it hits you.

That smell.

The unmistakable funk of sweat, dirt, and an entire season’s worth of buildup trapped in your batting gloves. You try to ignore it, but suddenly, every swing reminds you that your gloves have seen (and smelled) better days.

At this point, your gloves aren’t just a tool—they’re a distraction. And no player should have to battle both the pitcher and their own gear.

Time to clear the stink and focus on your swing.

The Playbook: How to Keep Batting Gloves Game-Ready

Step 1: Spray After Every Game
Post-practice or post-game, hit your gloves with RANK Spray. Focus on the inside where sweat builds up and the outside where dirt sticks.

🌬 Step 2: Let Them Breathe
Stuffing your gloves into your gear bag right away? That’s a rookie move. Lay them flat in a well-ventilated area so they dry properly.

🎒 Step 3: Treat Your Gear Bag Too
Even if your gloves are fresh, your gear bag might not be. A few sprays of RANK Spray inside your bag stops the stink from creeping back in.

🔄 Step 4: Stay Fresh Between Games
Tournament weekend? Doubleheader? Keep a travel-size bottle of RANK Spray on hand for quick touch-ups between innings.
