What's the changing of the gloves once they get on base for?

---

The new gloves they get are sometimes padded on top and are usually given to "base stealers"

They can be to protect their hands from getting stepped on if they slide head first back to the bag or into the bag they are stealing

They are also used as mentioned earlier to protect their hands when sliding as they drag one hand across the ground sliding feet first. The batting gloves are likely to have pine tar or some sort of residue that you don't want to frick with on the base path
