Baseball is considered a full contact sport. There are many times that you can be hit in the groin. They normally require guys to wear them so they have a higher chance of not getting injured.

You'd be wise to fit a cup in there somewhere too because foul tips and base runners inevitably make body contact in usually the most sensitive places.
Not usually. You just wear gym shorts, or your regular sports pants.
i am 13 and I play baseball and wear a protective cup. over the years I have been experimenting with different ways to make the cup less visible because it can be embarrassing sometimes. I would suggest first wearing a jockstrap with a cup underneath it and NOT in the pouch. it will still stay in and function properly but not be very visible. the second suggestion is to wear black baseball pants. the darker the less visible it gets. better yet, do both. I wear a jockstrap and black pants and you can`t tell that I am wearing a cup, even when you are close. it is totally normal to wear a jockstrap and it has more comfort and protection. hope this helps!
you wear a sliding pad under your pants and on top of your socks. if u put it over your pants then your pants will rub on your leg and give u a rash.
Nothing to it....... Jocks can be worn any time you feel like it. Particularly if you are changing in the school gym! It's REAL macho........................not like these baggy bloomers of BOXER SHORTS most boys are made to wear.
Most swimmers just wear Speedo or Speedo-like swimming suits. Some swimmers wear a "swimmers jockstrap" too. A "swimmers jockstrap" has a narrow 1-inch waist-band, which is smaller than the standard 3-inch waist-band of a standard jockstrap. The narrower 1-inch waistband will not reveal the jockstrap as much and the jockstrap waist-band will stay under the swimming suit. However, male swimmers who want to show a bigger "package" may chose to wear a cup-jockstrap under their swimming suit to enhance their masculine appearance. But they don't really need the protection of a cup when they are swimming. So it is all a mater of personal preference.
