What to wear for tryouts in freezing weather?

It's for baseball, so must wear a baseball hat, and bulky layers won't work for throwing/hitting. Any thing besides neck warmer, a base layer and hand warmers that I'm not thinking of?

My softball player usually has a coat or zip up hoodie to throw on in the dugout if there's any downtime. And we've done toe warmers in cleats before if your kid tends to be cold footed. Those make a surprisingly big difference.

Has your child never played in a cold Bball game before? Most of our March tournaments are freezing. Heat gear/UA.

Base layer shirt and pants.

Base layer shirt. Base layer leggings underneath pants. Thick sweatshirt or fleece. Winter hat or neck buff. Windbreaker in bat bag.

Will he actually wear any of that? Probably not.

Softball is in the gym. Wouldn't baseball be too?

Nets for hitting, etc.

Lots of teams doing tryouts and they can't all use the gym. Plus you really can't do true fielding tryouts in a gym, and pitching/hitting are far better to assess on a field too.

It actually doesn't feel as cold as the temperature would indicate today with the sun. He'll be fine. My baseball player brought a base layer top, a thin puffer for the down time, and I threw in some hand warmers that I know he won't use.

16 year old boys run a lot warmer than 48 year old moms.

Most but not all have announced the gym. Some are on turf rectangle fields. I think at least one lucky FCPS school is using Patriot Park North.

WSHS was supposed to but was told today at WS instead.

Baseball is mostly standing around so maybe one of those sleeping bag coats?

Absolutely no. Nice dig at a difficult sport though.
