With spring training approaching fast, more new apparel is being released for the upcoming season. Just recently, the Philadelphia Phillies' new spring training hats were unveiled, and now the latest release is the Phillies' batting practice caps for the 2024 season.
As shared by Paul Lukas of UniWatch, the Phillies 2024 batting practice hats feature a familiar face front and center. In a surprisingly creative and "out of the box" design, the incomparable Phillie Phanatic graces the front of the new batting practice hats, with his always present sideway cap and his trademark red tongue sticking out.
These are undoubtedly going to be a hit with Phillies fans. Check it for yourself.

Unlike the new spring training caps, which are going to be used only during spring training action, this new line of hats will be seen all season long during on-field activities outside of official gameplay.
How are Phillies fans reacting to the new batting practice hats?
With some fans already raving about the entire collection, Phillies fans seem particularly stoked about the new design.
The UK Phillies account on X, formerly Twitter, best sums up our collective feelings, using not one, but two well-deserved fire emojis.

User Behan (@behanthescenes) jokes that the "hat alone is going to finance Jordan Montgomery to the Phillies." Or, maybe they're serious.

Even YES Network employee James Smyth (@JamesSmyth621) couldn't help but marvel over the Phillies' new design, "Of course everyone’s right that the Phillies hat is a work of art, but almost all of these are," he tweeted.

With pitchers and catchers reporting to Clearwater very soon. It shouldn't be long before we get to see our favorite Phillies players sporting these incredible new caps with the iconic Phillie Phanatic. And we'll see them all season long — hopefully through until early November.
