When it comes to baseball, shortstop is a very unique position. It requires an athlete to play it. That athlete requires quality cleats. When looking for baseball cleats for a shortstop, you want to look at cleats that provide traction, due to the amount of quick pivots that must be performed in the field and up at bat. Also, most shortstops are very fast, so they would be in need of a lightweight cleat to allow freedom of movement. Below I have listed what I believe is the best baseball cleat for a shortstop:
Adidas Men’s Hot Streak TPU 2 Low Baseball Cleat– This lighweight cleat utilizes a three quarter EVA midsole to keep the cleat lightweight. This is one of the lighter weight cleats you will find on the market. TRACIONATOM Cleats provide excellent traction as well.
Zephz Shorstop Baseball Cleat– This cleat actually has shortstop in the name, as this cleat was specifically constructed with the need of a shorstop in mind. It is lighweight with a riveted rubber sole to provide traction as well as speed.
