    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.
