No leather in these gloves at all...

I was looking for a pair of lightweight gloves with a bit of tactile grip to deliver the mail. I previously had used a pair of Adidas brand batting gloves and they were great until they fell apart from use. They were also pretty expensive, so I looked for another brand that was cheaper and settled on these. There is absolutely NO leather in these gloves at all... they are spandex with some type of polymer composite palm grip. I kept them and used them for the mail because the price was right, BUT they were not very durable at all. The stitching of the grip side of the fingers is splitting in multiple places in only 2 months of use. As I said, I deliver mail with them, so I don't know how much stress these gloves would take if I was actually using them as batting gloves. I will say, though, that the polymer/composite grip is not particularly "grippy"... the steering wheel slides right through my hands. So unless a bat already has a leather or rubber grip (like an aluminum bat), these gloves would be worthless, especially with a wood bat. I'll use them for the rest of the season and then toss them.
