Based upon Miguel Cabrera, I'd estimate that players change their cleats every 15-20 games, with two or three pairs used in each of those rotations, so 16-30 a season?

Judging by the amount you see on the market that seems like a steep estimate. Where do they all go?

Though I will say bigger stars go through more than others.

I would assume that a large number of them end up in the trash or donated to a local charity/thrift. Not all items go to dealers/MLB. Some get donated and some are kept by the players/friends. Oh, and the 16-30 includes all types of cleats (spikes, turf shoes, etc). I guess if you only count batting cleats, then the range drops to 8-10 per season.

Re: MLB game used cleats

Hey guys thanks for replying to my question very much appreciated
Yes I too heard around 8-10 I had also heard 6-8 but whatever it is I feel I'm sure you all will too I feel they are the rarest piece of equipment to collect from players I had Tino Martinez sign a game used pair from 2000 and he said wow usually you see bats hats jerseys but cleats and gloves I rarely see so I though that was pretty intresting
And Mark Texieria recognized the game used cleats I made him sign he said I remember those I remember those I wore these in 2009 he was right and he signed them that way as well
Don Mattingly was also there and was waiting for me to give him a pair of cleats he said hey what about me I said I'm sorry sir but I'm trying to get a pair of your cleats but I haven't located a pair yet I said sure we will cross paths again hey he shook my hand and said I'm sure we will great day at the Steiner signing

I still think that distinction belongs to fielding gloves.

You can only display 4 pairs per case ... I keep trying to get a good picture of mine , but they are in a dark corner of my room. Here is what they look like

The Fabrikor case by Ikea is nice. It holds 6 helmets or 6 pairs of cleats or a mix.

Idk I am thinking the jock strap is probably the rarest. Not that I would want one.

Re: MLB game used cleats

Detolfs are $64 compared to $180 for the other.

Re: MLB game used cleats

Those are nice cases for display yes I have to agree the fielding gloves are probably the rarest thanks for the replies very helpful information

True, but the extra money buys you a more stable and resilient case that also holds more.

Umm... I'm pretty sure that players don't use the same jockstrap for their entire career. Some fielders do use the same glove for their entire career.
