Why do baseball players wear tight pants?

Answer 1

Well it is because if you had baggy pants you'll trip over them and somebody could just grab you by your pants and bring you down but since they are tight you will never trip and they can't bring you down by your pants unless they have a real strong grip so basically no tripping and it makes you more elusive to defenders hope i helped

Answer 2

Tight pants are easier to slide in (they don't get pulled up by the friction, so they stay between the skin and the ground) and also make it more difficult for a fielder to tag a runner (because loose clothing would flap around and make a larger target).

Answer 3

so that when they exersice or practice no loose articles get in the way or distract the athlete, and loose cloothes cause rashes and cleavage....

In addition when you have the fabric up against the skin, it wicks out the moister (sweat) and any slight breeze helps causes a cooling effect. In bike races or swiming, tighter and smoother will give you an advantage of less resistance to air or water, and slightly improve your times - water makes a great difference.

Answer 4

So you have less wind resistance when you run.

Answer 5

They should be snug, as in tight but not tight to the point you feel uncomfortable.
