This is by far the coolest gift for baseball players, both young and old. Whether you purchase one box as a gift or a year subscription, the options are endless and so is the joy of your little player!

I’ve got a house full of baseball lovers and players. My husband played from age 5 to 35 and now he coaches Little League. My oldest son was born with a glove in one hand and a bat in the other, I swear. He’s 12 years old and has already played for 9 years. Our other boys play baseball and love it. Even the girls played for a few years. I think it’s safe to say that we’re a baseball family.
So you can imagine my excitement when I learned about Plate Crate, a subscription box for baseball lovers!
I think subscription boxes are so much fun, but I had never imagined one designed specifically for baseball players!!! How cool is that?!?
These boxes are SO! MUCH! FUN!!
Details of Plate Crate
Frequency
You can purchase just one single box, or do a 3, 6, or 12 month subscription (and of course, you save money the more months you sign up for).
What Comes in the Box?
Each month you receive a different box with over $50 value in products. Each crate has 6-8 items from any of the following categories:
- Gear
- Apparel
- Training Aids
- Accessories
- Snacks
There is also a card that explains each item.
RBI Club
They even have an RBI Club, which is their rewards program. It allows you to accumulate discounts on future boxes, or cash in for money off of one-time purchases in their shop.
What Was in Our Crates Last Month
Our boys were SO EXCITED to get their very own Plate Crates last month. They were packed with goodies to help them get better at baseball, as well as a couple of fun accessories. Each box had the following:
- T-Shirt
- Speed Ladder (to help with foot speed and coordination)
- Pancake Glove (to help with fielding)
- Glove Mallet (to break in a glove)
- Reaction Ball (to help with reaction time to an unpredictable grounder)
- Sticker
GIFTS, GIFTS, GIFTS!!!
Living in a house ruled by baseball, I am kind of obsessed with this idea. {Especially with Christmas being right around the corner!}

The EASIEST Gift to Give …
Whether for a one-time gift or a year-long subscription, Plate Crate offers an absolutely awesome, hassle-free way to gift something meaningful, personal, and exciting to any baseball-lover in your life.
All you have to do is go to their website (affiliate link), and click “Give a Gift” at the top of the webpage. You just need to decide if you’re going to gift one box, or gift a subscription for a certain number of months. The only info you’ll need on the recipient is a shirt size (and obviously their name and address).
How easy is that?! You don’t even have to wrap it, ship it, or worry about anything else. Bam. Done. This is my kind of gift!
Is it REALLY Worth It?
Will My Kids REALLY Use This Stuff?
Will it REALLY Help Them Get Better at Baseball?
Yes, yes, and yes.
To help you see the usefulness of the contents of just one box, I took a couple videos of the boys using their new equipment. Not only will they use it, and be better at baseball for it, but I never would have thought to purchase these things on my own. I love that these boxes aren’t just put together by some random person. Plate Crate’s product team (consisting of professional baseball players) carefully considers and curates each month’s box. To summarize…they know what they’re doing!
Bonus: it encourages them to get outside and play with each other!
