The bags generally have fence hooks and a lower compartment where you can store your muddy cleats. Some also have another exterior compartment for your batting helmet.

Easton makes a fine line of backpack baseball bags which run around sixty dollars.

It also has plenty of room for a catcher’s glove, two bats and other non-catcher specific baseball equipment. Catchers bags should run between about fifty and hundred dollars.
