Top 6 Hairstyles in Major League Baseball

There’s plenty at every ball game to keep you engaged. From thrilling home runs to fun antics in the crowd, America’s pastime is always a delight. If you’re looking for one more thing to get excited about when you catch your next MLB game, take note of some of the most fun hairstyles out on the diamond and in the dugout. Here are some of the best hairstyles to keep an eye out for.

Faux Hawk with Short Mullet

Sported by the likes of Eric Hosmer of the San Diego Padres, this hairstyle shows off a free spirit and independent attitude. But that doesn’t stop anyone wearing this look from working hard as a teammate to get the big win! If you want to wear this style like the pros, ask for a subtle fade on the sides with some length left on top for the faux hawk. And of course, don’t forget about the mullet in the back!

Burst Fade with Curly Twists

This look offers a fun combination of modern chic and throwback curls. Ask for a tight fade on the sides that also leads to the back and keep a good amount of length on top and back. And don’t forget about the wild curls on top! For a fun splash of color, consider asking for bleached tips, which is how Francisco Lindor of the New York Mets prefers to wear it.

Shoulder Length Hair

You will need to put some time into this look, but you’ll be able to rock this style anywhere with confidence. Be sure to keep it trimmed for maintenance and to find the right shampoo to keep it healthy, especially if you plan on playing sports with this hairstyle. Gio Gonzalez, who announced his retirement in 2021, sported this look through part of his long career.

Shaved Sides with Comb Over and Beard

A perfect way to blend a rugged look with modern chic is to ask for a comb-over with a tight fade and a full beard. It manages to evoke a casual look while looking carefully maintained and sophisticated all at once. Trevor Story of the Colorado Rockies wears this look well and so can you!

Textured Wavy Hair with Fade

As classic of a look as it gets, getting a medium fade on the sides while keeping some length on the top is a style you can easily maintain and rock with confidence in any situation. Worn with wavy hair, you can show off your natural texture and sense of classy style. This look can be found on Jose Altuve of the Houston Astros and other players as well.

Long Textured Slicked Back Undercut

This style is a perfect way to exude confidence and express a bold personality. The tight fade on the sides makes the cut chic while the slicked-back top provides a classy feel to the overall aesthetic. To add some more definition to the style, consider asking for a shaved line at the top of the fade. For a great example of this cut, look no further than Josh Donaldson of the Minnesota Twins.
