A batting glove is provided incorporating a leather palm portion, a leather wrist portion including a hook and loop fastener, a leather finger portion including separate finger members having spaces therebetween and a leather thumb portion. Disposed along the palm portion is a leather sheath housing an elongated raised rubber pad having lower and upper surfaces bounding a concave outer surface therebetween configured to cradle a bat handle. The pad preferably has a hardness greater than that of cellular polystyrene, more commonly known as Styrofoam TM . When the glove is worn by the batter, the raised pad outer surface is configured to be substantially aligned with the distal ends of the metacarpals of the gloved hand.
