An athletic finger, palm and wrist protective pad comprising a leather pad configured to substantially conform to the shape of a human palm and wrist is disclosed. The leather pad and an added pad proximate the wrist end of the pad provide protection against abrasion of the palm and wrist of a baseball or softball player while sliding into a base or home plate, as well as protection against hyper-extension of the wrist. A foam dowel encased in the leading, finger end of the pad provides a padded gripping surface for the fingers, thereby preventing jamming, as well as protection from debris sliding under the pad. An elastic loop attached to the leading edge of the sleeve slips easily over the fingers of a user and a wrist strap tightens around the wrist, allowing quick and easy donning of the protective pad while on the base path.
