Hands, humorously

MITTS

Think of what a catcher wears—or what you might lose in a snowball fight.

The clue plays on the informal or humorous way people sometimes refer to their hands as "mitts," short for mittens. Here, "MITTS" is a lighthearted term for hands, often used in casual speech or jokes—like when someone says, "Get your mitts off that!" The wordplay relies on the idea that "hands" is being described in a non-literal, funny way, making "MITTS" the perfect fit.
