It can be easy to write off buying a quality pair of baseball batting gloves. Not so fast though! You could be doing more damage to yourself then you realize.

The easy way to justify quality baseball batting gloves
This is the easy part because first of all, a good pair of gloves are going to give us a hulk style grip on the bat that is going to aid in us having a hulk like power hit. Given you have a good sense of baseball hitting principles, grip serves to keep your hands where they need to be to having a more explosive baseball swing.
Safety.
Safety is definitely another reason to justify buying a nice quality pair of batting gloves. Given you don't want to be throwing your baseball bat like a ball-and-chain, like a pirate, into a sea of people, it might be something to consider. I think your audience would be thankful of this as well.
How quality saves you from ruining your swing
A nice pair of baseball batting gloves is also going to prevent your hands from blistering up. You may think that blisters are no big deal but consider how this affects the way you swing the bat. Just visualize the irritation that is the hand blister and how you might shift your hands in a way that may alter your swing in the slightest.
Do you notice how this unnatural feeling may start to become the norm in the way you swing?
Our muscle memory doesn't take a break when we have to switch things up, so do yourself a favor and look for a nice pair of gloves that are going to prevent friction. That means finding a pair of baseball batting gloves that both keep your hands dry and creates very little if any frictional contact from bat to hand.
Finding the perfect pair
A few other things to consider when looking for the perfect pair of gloves is you want something that is still going to offer you a wide range of motion or mobility. You want a batting glove that gives you enough cushion to prevent ripping from the punishment you give them but still giving you full range of motion in your hand.
Having a perfect amount of cushion will also prevent some of the sting from a miss-swing or laser thrown ball at your glove (especially if you play C, 1B, or 3B.)
A perfect balance of fit, mobility, grip, and protection from bat sting makes a pair of quality baseball batting gloves.
