Wheat

A Marlins prospect is wearing leather work gloves when hits:

When 23-year-old Dalton Wheat steps up to the plate, he has a classic swing that you might expect from any smooth, left-handed hitting prospect. But he sports a unique accessory when he heads to the batter’s box: his gloves.

As opposed to the standard batting gloves we have grown accustomed to, the outfielder for the Greensboro Grasshoppers — Class A Affiliate of the Miami Marlins — wears leather work gloves.

…

“They’re leather,” Wheat says, “just like any other batting glove. They’re just a lot thicker. That’s pretty much all the difference.”

The should make a movie about this:
